Business Catalyst vs GoDaddy?

My Business Catalyst site runs great but when I upload it to my GoDaddy server the site runs horribly.
I have 10 other sites on the same (GoDaddy) server that I've done the same way & they all run great.
This is however the first site that I re-sized elements in Muse & didn't bring them in exactly the right size to begin with. I have noticed that Muse left some of them quite large. Could that be the issue?
So my main question is why would it run great on the BC server & not when I export to html & upload to the GoDaddy server?
Any help would be great, Thanks...
BC Site: http://tawnjacom.businesscatalyst.com/
GoDaddy Site: http://www.tawnja.com/
Update: OK. So the client wanted the site fixed now so for a quick fix I just forwarded/ghosted the bottom link to the BC site.
So for now both links above point to the business catalyst site.

Hi Abhishek,
Here are a few of my Muse sites that work just fine on the GoDaddy server:

Muse with Business Catalyst vs GoDaddy

My client would like to make edits on his own to his website I built for him in Muse. I currently host his site the their emails via GoDaddy. I also have two Wordpress blogs wrapped into the same hosting package. That being said, I really don't want to move my hosting from GoDaddy to Business Catalyst. Is there a way to sign up for a Business Catalyst hosting account and have GoDaddy point the website to the Catalyst servers so my client could make updates? I know we'd have to pay for a Catalyst account AND GoDaddy, but that might be not a bad deal depending on the situation. Looking for guidance.
Thanks!

Yes, you can just point the web traffic to BC through the A-record.
The blogs will then stop working and will have to be setup as subdomains.

Business Catalyst, GoDaddy and Muse

When trying to add the domain name *wildwasatchmedia.com* so I can launch my website as GoDaddy for the register, in Business Catalyst, this happens ***error: domain name already exists, please delete any records of previous domain.*** There are no other records...... So how can I put in the Domain name so I can luanch my website?

Hey Mike.Avocado26,
As per your other forum post mentiond below, I believe I have cleared the domain wildwasatchmedia.com from our database. Can you please try re-adding it now?

Transfering a URL from GoDaddy to Business Catalyst

How do I transfer a client's url from Go Daddy to BC. I want to use one of my 5 hosting sites for this client.
I developed her web site using Muse. Thank you

Hi Ursh,
Thank you for your response. Is this correct. The url is Pinehillrd.com. The url is presently with GoDaddy.
Best, Phyllis

Hi Phyllis,
You should no need to use the authorisation code as you are not physically moving the domain - you are simply pointing it to the BC servers to manage.
Have you set up the domain name in BC already? It won't work until you have done that.

Ursh

HELP! I can't get GoDaddy to acknowledge my hosting is through Business Catalyst.

I uploaded my website through Business catalyst. I had already purchased my domain through GoDaddy. I followed the steps of getting it to link to my domain through Business Catalyst. Well when you type in my Domain now it only goes to GoDaddy's page saying my domain is parked free. They won't acknowledge the hosting through BC without a code. I can not manage my account through BC. Every time I click 'Manage' it goes to a blank screen. I have been paying for hosting and still have no site! How do I get my code for GoDaddy?
Thanks!

Hi Angela,
You need to add domain to the site and upgrade nameservers as per information on this link:

Business Catalyst Pricing

Hi Adobe .. First, let me say that I L-O-V-E Business Catalyst and Muse. As a 21-year graphic design professional that was forced into learning code (yuk), Muse has set my creativity free and I now absolutely love designing web sites. I have a Creative Cloud subscription, and I like that I have five sites I can host through Business Catalyst. That's great ... BUT ...
This morning, I decided to use BC hosting for the first time (instead of GoDaddy), and was shocked that none of the sites that come with my Creative Cloud/Business Catalyst subscription includes email. NOT ONE EMAIL ADDRESS IS INCLUDED??! In order to include email in any of the five sites hosted through Business Catalyst, I have to pay an additional $12.21 a month.
Surely, Adobe is smart enought to recognize that Muse designers will want to use Business Catalyst as the hosting hub for all their clients, but Adobe is NOT smart enought to recognize that you have priced yourself out of the market entirely??? GoDaddy offers hosting for $5.99 a month, and the monthly charge has been on sale for $2.99. This GoDaddy hosting plan includes as many email addresses as you want. Why would I go with Business Catalyst and pay four times as much?
Sriously Adobe, please research your competitors pricing, and make your prices competitive!! I would love to use Muse and Business Catalyst exclusively for all my clients and hosting, but I'm not going to pay 4 times more than I need to. Why would I?

Hey cloudnine--
While Liam's post was generally condescending in it's tone, I think he has a valid point. From a web professional's point of view, Muse is a great starting point for graphic designers coming to the web. It's a great tool for a creative department to quickly generate working prototypes that are close to a professional website.
However, there's A LOT more that goes into designing and developing for the web that you need to know about for production-quality websites. Namely, advanced CSS authoring, cross-browser restraints and semantic HTML markup for the benefit of search engines. Not to mention responsive design, image optimization, code minification and other skills required for the "mobile-first" approach which places a heavy focus on reducing network connections and bandwidth. "Mobile-first", responsive design for all screen sizes is the future.
I, too, have seen very impressive Muse sites but many of them feature 1mb, full-color, full sized PNG images all over the place-- slowing the site to a crawl. Sometimes, if people continue to use Muse and Dreamweaver's authoring techniques they miss out on the bigger picture of how to appropriately use stylesheets and write markup that search engines will eat up.
Using Muse and Dreamweaver are great for designers who are wanting to learn to code but I too would recommend getting outside of both those programs on occasion to flex your muscles. You can create a great website with Notepad, an FTP client and a graphics program like Photoshop, Fireworks or even the free GIMP.
A great tool I show people so they can play with markup and styles is http://scratchpad.io. Peep it.
I believe there is a place for us all to coexist and some designer's code authoring levels are different. BC and Muse are a great place for graphic designers publish websites using the Adobe authoring tools but to produce a standards-compliant, feature-rich website you'll eventually need to learn the best practices for HTML/CSS/Javascript.
You're right how most of us web professionals have crappy websites. Mine is too but that's usually because our paying work takes precedence.
Finally, don't get discouraged on this board. There are lots of opinions and Liam is mostly harmless. I think he just types too fast and his head moves faster than his fingers so sometimes his grammar is off but he means well and is one of the most active forum users here for BC.
Best,

yes but cs5 has embedded BC module, and is owned by adobe, also dw users from 8 onwards can use the triangle plugin. so I think it IS relevant to this forum.
BC does have more nameservers.
try these guys
ns1.worldsecuresystems.com (192.150.2.143) - primary DNS server
ns2.worldsecuresystems.com (192.150.8.143) - secondary DNS server
ns3.worldsecuresystems.com (202.176.14.140)

Where do I get a domain name for use with business catalyst?

I can find no understandable basic starter info for business catalyst on the web.

Hi,
After you purchase your site via BC you'll need to also purchase your domain from a registrar (godaddy, etc).
Then you'll add your domain to your BC site and then update your DNS within your registrar to point hosting to us.

Using Business Catalyst for Newsletters - Several Questions

Hello everyone - I hope the format of this forum question is okay. I have designed our company website with Muse and we host it with Business Catalyst (webBasics+). We like it a lot and are looking to possibly upgrade it to the next package (webMarketing) simply because of the potential for newsletters (as well as all of the other benefits like blogging and the helpful modules).
My company currently uses Constant Contact for our quarterly newsletters and holiday emails and we send to about 2800 people. It seems obvious to me that we should ditch Constant Contact as we pay more than $50.00/month and I think it is very limiting as far as being creative goes. It just makes sense that I should use Bc because I already use it...and the 5,000 newsletters is only $6.00 more.
My questions are:
Are there a lot of templates to choose from? 100's? 1,000's?
Is it easy to create my own template? Do I need Dreamweaver (Only have Creative Suite and Muse)?
Is it easy to transfer an email list I have? We have software called ACT and I am a little unsure how this works but I assume there is a certain file type we can export and just upload into Bc.
Are there options to have links to social media (facebook, twitter, etc.) in the newsletters?
Are the newsletters limited in size? I think Constant Contact limited the width of an email to 600 pixels - occasionally we had text in a graphic we made in Photoshop - so things go a little fuzzy.
Add-on question from #5 Are there ways to layer graphics on top of one another in the newsletters aside from flattening it in Photoshop? This was the most limiting factor in Constant Contact.
I appreciate any help with answering these questions. Again, I think it is pretty obvious and maybe you have some things to tell me that I am completely clueless about. I basically have to make the pitch to the powers that be and I want to make sure I have a lot of the ends covered.
Thanks!

Hope this helps.
1) When using Adobe BC I can use dreamweaver cs6 as well, correct? Yes. BC works in DW CS6
2) If i download Adobe BC on my computer to build the website can I also use it on another computer to keep the products updated? I read that it's online so i'm assuming this can be done for no extra cost but i want to make sure. Yes you can have SFTP access from any computer.
3) Can you host your website using godaddy or other hosts while using business catalyst? NO, BC is a hosted solution. You can although host email services third-party (i.e. Gmail).
4) Lastly, if you were to make an ecommerce website for a CLIENT how would you do it? WOuld you use business catalyst or other software such as, authorize.net and a shopping cart? BC includes a full-featured shopping cart (http://www.businesscatalyst.com/features/online-store), so you would manage products in the backend. A payment gateway like Authorize.net or Paypal will be needed (http://www.businesscatalyst.com/features/payment-gateways).

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?
I am new to Muse and love it! Not sure if the hosting site matters one way or the other.

Liam has some great points. Some other things to consider is that google (just talking one search engine at the moment) more than likely know what a BC site looks like and is made of and would know the best ways to index it assuming you use some of the features of BC and not just straight up HTML.
Godaddy is straight up HTML so as far as indexing goes I think BC has an advantage as it is a known system much like wordpress.
As far as IP blocks, bad neighbours, etc only google will know that information and it's not easy to say which is better.
For example if someone on BC spam's there website everywhere or engages in dodgy SEO practises, spambots etc. Their site is going to be pushed down, if you happen to be on the same IP or close to that site you will be in a "bad neighbourhood" and it may affect your site in the short term. This is the case for ANY hosting solution, so take it all with a gain of salt.

Business Catalyst Technical Questions?

Hello All,
I will be working with Business Catalyst soon because of its integration with other adobe programs. However before I move on I do have a few questions that I could not find an answers on.
How many products/ rows can the catalog feature handle? - for sake of conversation lets say I have 2000 products, will the catalog be able to handle that or is there a limit?
Lets say I want to have an auction on a website, is that possible through business catalyst?
Since I have a hosting plan with godaddy I have to change the nameserver so that the site can us BC features. However I have several emails set up already, will I be able to keep using those regularly?
Over at the webCommerce pricing, there are options for number of users. If I were to pick 3 users does that mean I can only build 3 websites with this plan, or I can only have 3 custom emails for one website?
If I have 5 websites with ecommerce, do I basically need a separate webCommerce account for all of them?
With BC will I be able to build a searchable table similar to this?: http://www.conciergerealty.com/sale-search/?field_resort_tid=&title=&field_region_tid=Cent ral+America&field_season_tid=&field_vista_type_tid=&field_points_value=&field_sales_price_ value=&field_sales_price_value_1=
thanks for the help

Hi,
How many products/ rows can the catalog feature handle? - for sake of conversation lets say I have 2000 products, will the catalog be able to handle that or is there a limit?
No limit on products or catalogs. Rendering these on a site you can set the paginated limit of these and the top end per page load is about 500.
Lets say I want to have an auction on a website, is that possible through business catalyst?
Yes, but not as you really want it, it does not really support such features, you could fudge something but this is best for software designed for this purpose.
Since I have a hosting plan with godaddy I have to change the nameserver so that the site can us BC features. However I have several emails set up already, will I be able to keep using those regularly?
Over at the webCommerce pricing, there are options for number of users. If I were to pick 3 users does that mean I can only build 3 websites with this plan, or I can only have 3 custom emails for one website?
You would just change the A-record at godaddy to point only the web traffic to BC.
If I have 5 websites with ecommerce, do I basically need a separate webCommerce account for all of them?
Yes
With BC will I be able to build a searchable table similar to this?: http://www.conciergerealty.com/sale-search/?field_resort_tid=&title=&field_region_tid=Cent ral+America&field_season_tid=&field_vista_type_tid=&field_points_value=&field_sales_price_ value=&field_sales_price_value_1=
Not 100% out of the box, you would need to do custom scripting. But it is possible

Business Catalyst vs VPS

Hi there...
I've been using Adobe Muse for quite a while and I am thinking of signing up to the Business Catalyst for more functionality with my sites e.g. contact forms, ecommerce and cms functionality. My problem is, upon looking at what BC offers it appears to be a selection of hosting packages. I currently already have my own VPS which gives me access to create emails etc but all I want is the ability to develop a shop with ecommerce and create logins for my clients to have access to specific areas of the site.
Can you advise,
Thanks
