Business Catalyst / Creative Cloud

Hi, i currently use Go-Daddy for my web hosting and email services. Is there an adobe BC section / part of the creative Cloud membership that will allow me to migrate / transfere my godaddy stuff to BC without paying more for the email capabilities.
Cheers

You can point any domain name you own at GoDaddy using an A record that will only point the web traffic to BC and you can retain your email services for that domain. In BC's terminology this is called an "external DNS" setup. It depends on what datacenter your site is on but when you setup your free Creative Cloud site on BC you'll be asked to choose a datacenter to host that site on (US, Europe, etc.). Once you have your BC site setup you'll have to add an A record on GoDaddy for the "naked" (no "www") and "www" versions of your domain name to point to BC.
If you look at http://adobebcmigration.com/instructions#arecords you should see "New IP" addresses for each datacenter. Choose one of the new IP addresses listed there that is associated with the datacenter your site is on with BC and use that IP address for the "A record" you setup on GoDaddy. Make sure you choose one of the "New" IP addresses and not the old one.
If you aren't familiar with adding DNS entries on GoDaddy-- they have great support so I would call them up (make sure you have your GoDaddy account number and call-in pin ready) and tell them this:
"I need to setup an A record for each of my naked domain and "www" domain for my domain YOURDOMAIN.COM that need to point to IPADDRESS."
And you should replace YOURDOMAIN.COM with the domain you want to attach to a BC site and IPADDRESS with the IP Address you got from the link above. They should be able to do it over the phone for you.
Once you've made the changes on GoDaddy, login to your BC site and attach your custom domain name by going to Site Settings > Site Domains and clicking "Add domain". Here's what your settings should look like but use your domain name instead of the one I'm showing. You don't need to add "www" before the domain because BC will add that for you.

Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

Hi,
I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
Sincerely,
Alexandru

Hosting website by Business catalyst

Why neither Safari nor Firefox can find my website after I made an upgrade for Business catalyst (webBasics )? My website works only with the url: .businesscatalyst.com and not with my site name. Many thanks for the answer.

Help with Adobe Business Catalyst?

I am having a serious issue with trying to get information regarding a tech issue with Adobe Business Catalyst for a client. I cannot get even a chat room help. Is there no access to a chat room or immediate support? I was told yesterday that I would get an answer back and have not had a response. I have multiple accounts and have encouraged client to sign up with Adobe CC....now I need to get some help and it's hard to find.

Creative Cloud and existing Business Catalyst partners - FAQ

This FAQ will cover topics related to Creative Cloud, for existing Business Catalyst users.
How can I signup for Creative Cloud?
     Your Business Catalyst account should have been already updated right now with your Adobe ID. If you haven’t updated it yet, visit the Adobe ID – Business Catalyst account update FAQ.
What benefits do I get with Creative Cloud ?
     In addition to acccess to all Creative Suite programs, Lightroom and others in one place, a Creative Cloud membership enables you to host up to five Business Catalyst websites. These sites will be webBasics sites. For a full comparison between plans, see this page. If you purchase Muse or Dreamweaver as individual products in Creative Cloud, you can host one Business Catalyst website for each of them.
My web design shop has several employees, each with their own Business Catalyst login with access our Partner Portal. Do we need Adobe IDs for each of our employees?
    Yes. Since these users are partner users, they need to use an Adobe ID. Visit the Adobe ID – Business Catalyst account update FAQ for more details
I have a paid website that I want to host using my Creative Cloud subscription. Can I do this?
     This is not possible. You need to create a new webBasics temporary website in Business Catalyst and push it live.
Can I move a trial/live Creative Cloud site under a different Creative Cloud subscription?
      This is not possible right now.
Do I get any discount if I upgrade a Creative Cloud website to a higher Business Catalyst plan such as webMarketing or webCommerce?
      Currently there are no upgrade discounts for Creative Cloud members.
What are the limitations of the webBasics websites that come with Business Catalyst and Creative Cloud membership?
     You will be limited to 100 MB of storage and 1 additional user (such as your customer). You will not get email, SMS or newsletters for this web plan.
Can I buy more users? Can I buy more space? Can I buy email?
     We are working on creating this workflow but at this point we don’t have an exact release date for this feature.
How can I upgrade the webBasics websites that come with Creative Cloud to a higher Business Catalyst plan?
     We are working on creating this workflow but at this point we don’t have an exact release date for this feature.
Do I get any discount for purchasing more websites if I am a Creative Cloud subscriber?
     Right now there is no discount for Creative Cloud members.
If I am an existing Paid Partner and I have a few employees for whom I paid Creative Cloud subscriptions, how many websites can I claim?
     You will have 5 websites for each employee. However, you will pay different licenses for all of them. Before purchasing these licenses, please contact Adobe Support to add these users to your partner portal. After you have added users to your partner portal, you will be able to access all the websites from it.
*NOTE: If you have already add employees to your partner portal, then everything will work automatically.
If you don’t want to access all your websites from the same Partner Portal, you don’t have to do anything.
How can I set permissions for my employees regarding these websites? What permissions can I set?
      This will be part of a later Creative Cloud that will be launched this year.
What happens if I cancel or stop paying my Creative Cloud subscription?
     Each live website (among the free websites under your Creative Cloud subscription) will stay live for an additional 30 days. This gives you time to decide whether you want to keep the site(s) live or remove them. You will be prompted to upgrade your website to a regular Business Catalyst site plan.
     After 30 days, your website will enter in temporary mode. When entering the temporary mode, your custom domain name will be removed from the website. In order to reactivate it, pay for your website directly with Business Catalyst.
     If you are inactive on a temporary website, it will automatically be deleted.
=== Dreamweaver CS6 FAQ ===
I have logged in on Dreamweaver CS6 and I cannot see my partner site. How can I edit it?
This is a known issue. For paid partners (Standard or Premium) you can use the workaround described below:
export one of your sites as an .ste file
Open the .ste file in another text editor, and modify it
Replace the :
httpaddress with your partner's site URL address
secureURL with your partner site secure URL
siteid with the site ID of your partner site
Save the .ste file with another name
Import this .ste file into Dreamwaver, choose a local root folder
Please take a look at Brad's blog post here for more detailed steps on how to import your partner site in Dreamweaver.
I'm trying to login to Dreamweaver CS6 with my Business Catalyst credentials, and it doesn't work. What credentials do I need?
     You can login to Dreamweaver CS6 with your Adobe ID. If you haven't merged your BC account with an Adobe ID account, you'll need to merge it and then you should be able to login.
How do I access sites in Dreamweaver with an Adobe ID other than the one linked to my Creative Cloud or Dreamweaver subscription?
      Dreamweaver defaults to using the Adobe ID from your subscription to avoid the inconvenience of logging in multiple times. To use a different ID, just click the "Logout" button in the lower-right hand corner of the Business Catalyst panel and log in with a different Adobe ID:
You'll need to have a file open in an existing BC site for the "Logout" button to be visible. Logging out will not affect the Adobe ID used in conjunction with your Dreamweaver subscription. To change the Adobe ID for your subscription, click Help -> Deactivate.

At this point the upgrade workflow is not functional just yet, as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2153
So the webBasics Creative Cloud cannot be upgraded directly to the webBasics+ level for now.
But a workaround for this case would be to re-publish your Dreamweaver/Muse project (I suppose you've used one of these solutions to build the site in the first place, right?) in a new trial/temporary site -> let us know what is the URL of that site (don't push it live) -> we will change the site plan from our backend to webBasics+ -> you will be able to publish it using the webBasics+ site plan.
Please note that this is going to be a separate charge, besides your Creative Cloud subscription. The monthly fee for webBasics+ will be $12.21/month, as mentioned here: http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst/buying-guide-subscriptions.html
Another way to use the webBasics+ plan would be to simply trigger a new trial site here: https://syd.worldsecuresystems.com/PartnerPortal/FreeTrialSignup.aspx#splash with the same Adobe ID as the one used to buy the Creative Cloud subscription and take that site live separately.

How do I link my Creative Cloud account with Business Catalyst Web Hosting service?

Hello,
I'm having difficulty understanding how to access the Business Catalyst service. I have attempted to log in directly to businesscatalyst.com/admin but continue to receive an error login message stating that my username and password are not recognized. I was not able to create a new business catalyst website via Dreamweaver either, despite having successfully logged into my Adobe Cloud account.
The only way I was able to set-up a website for use with Business Catalyst was by logging in via http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst.html, and pressing the "try now" button, which allowed me to create a demo site. This also allowed me to log into BC, but when I attempted to upgrade the site from a trial to the webbasic service, I am asked for a payment method.
I understand that the creative cloud service includes basic web hosting for up to 5 sites and should work seamlessly with DW or Muse, or using the InContext editing options provided via browser, but I am unable to truly access any of this content. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thank you

Please approach our support and supply them with your Adobe ID and the site URL you want to take live and they will do this for you in couple of minutes.
Cheers,

How do i install business catalyst and typekit with creative cloud if they don't show up?

I just recently signed up for creative cloud and learned about muse. I would like to take advantage of the business catalyst and typekit, but when i open my application manager, neither are available for download. Am I missing something here? are they built into the other program downloads? I'm confused–please help.

Am I missing something here?
Yes, you are. They are merely services built into Dreamweaver, Edge and Muse and accessible via the respective BC and CSS panels in those programs.

Business Catalyst DOESN'T work as Advertised with Creative Cloud account

Question, I have a Creative Cloud, and I CAN'T publish web site that has a Business Catalyst features, why? As a designer I want to have a fully featured LIVE web site, that I could demonstrate to the clients, but instead I have limited useless webBasic.
I spent a lot of time developing that Business Catalyst featured web site, hopping that I could make it live with my Creative Cloud account, but I can't. Why you advertised that we could have up to 5 web site on business catalyst, if we can't?
I really don't wanna go to X-Cart or Magento Go, after I spent so much time learning BC features, at least give us a 1 fully featured BC website with Creative Cloud Account

Creative Cloud with Business Catalyst/Websites

I subscribed to a standard Creative Cloud membership yesterday....
On the Creative Cloud web page sidebar, there's a message saying 'Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites....LEARN MORE >>
That goes to a page which says "Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites. View and manage these sites from the sidebar on the Creative Cloud home page."
So it seems I'm stuck in a loop. I can't log in directly to Business Catalyst using my adobe ID either.
Any ideas?

Business Catalyst in Creative Cloud

I have a question regarding Business Catalyst. It seems that with my Creative Cloud subscription I can create 5 sites in either Dreamweaver or Muse, and upload to Business Catalyst. But when I log on to manage my site it seems I get parts of Business Catalyst, ie. just the reports and domain setup? So basically I can't do anything further with my site via BC it's just a host. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks.

Hi Sean
With Creative Cloud you can create unlimited number of sites with Muse & Dreamweaver and from these sites only 100 can have a temporary status.
With Creative Cloud Muse and Dreamweaver you can create only WebBasics sites, in order to allow you to redeem your 5 free webBasics subscriptions. Should you need to use a different BC plan, just let us know and we will change the plan for you.
Also, if you are interested to use BC to create sites for your customers, contact us http://www.businesscatalyst.com/contact and we will provide you more details & help.
Best regards,
Aniela
