Questions before buying

[TLR]

I'm interested in starting a web directory and I wanted to make sure phpLD is the right option for me before purchasing it.

I'm going to be starting a directory for local businesses. I'd like to offer two options for adding a site:

1. A "regular" link, which requires a reciprocal link on their site, and offers a small description of the site and a link.

2. A "premium" link, which does NOT require a recip, and costs $3 or $4 per month. This link would be featured at the TOP of the respective directory sub-category, and may have more features -- a larger description, a photo, bold text, etc.

Can phpLD handle all of this? Can it handle monthly paypal subscriptions for me when people are on the "submit a link" page?

And finally, what hosting company is the best for phpLD?

Thanks for all the help!

We have been having good experiences with Arvixe hosting and if you will sign up with the link in my signature, we'll give you a free license and install.

phpLD definitely allows the setup of paypal subscriptions. And we can help you configure regular and premium links after you are signed up through our supporters forum.

Please PM me if you sign up through arvixe (remember to use the link in my sig to get the free license)

Thanks,
