Web hosting: catalyst vs Office 365

Hello,
I am creating my website in Muse for my small business and currently use Adobe CC as well as MS Office 365 for business email/server.
I am getting ready to publish my website and wonder if anyone can provide insight about the hosting capabilities on Business Catalyst for small business. I am an environmental consultant and will not need much, if any, merchant services, so the purpose of the website is for marketing and communications, blog, social media, and SEO.
Is Business Catalyst only for web designers, or can small businesses publish there as well?
What are the security advantages/disadvantages of using Adobe BC to publish small business websites?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Todd aka Muse Newbie

With Creative Cloud, you get 5 free Business Catalyst webBasics/webHosting sites. You can find an overview of site plans here - http://www.adobe.com/products/web-hosting/buying-guide.html.
A more detailed plan breakdown can be found here - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/detailed-plan-breakdown.html
The FAQ for Business Catalyst should answer most of your general queries about the service - http://www.adobe.com/products/web-hosting/faq.html.
If you are looking to utilize the BC Blogs module, you would need to upgrade the free site to a higher BC plan such as webMarketing - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/upgrade-temporary-site.html##upgrade-webb asics. However, please note that Muse doesn't natively supporting building Blogs at this time and it isn't really a turn-key process either unless you have some CMS and coding knowledge.
Thanks,

  • Can't add images to announcements in SharePoint-hosted app in Office 365

    I tried something very simple:
    Create a new SharePoint-hosted app
    Add a new list to the app, based on the Announcements template
    Deploy the app to my Dev site on Office 365
    When I now add a new item (aka a new announcement) and try to add an image to the Body field, I encounter two errors (depending on whether I try to add an image from my Computer or from SharePoint)
    Adding from my computer gives me an unexpected error:
    Adding from SharePoint shows me a structure of all the apps in my hostweb, but no way to upload an image either to the hostweb or the appweb:
    Is it not possible to add images to a Rich Text field in a list in an app?

    Hi Rene,
    For inserting any image from you computer to you App web, you need to create a separate picture library in your app web manually i.e. in your SharePoint hosted app add a new list item, under list settings window choose "create a list instance
    base on existing list template" and in the drop down select
    picture library. Now deploy the app and try again.
    Generally when we insert any image from our computer to a SharePoint rich text field, the image gets upload in one of the document libraries, but this option is not available in the newly created app web, as it doesn't contains any separate library..
    For you next error, make sure that in the app manifest you are providing
    read access on the web, this will resolve you second problem.
    Hope it helps you.....

  • Connect to the database of auto Hosted App on Office 365

    Hi All,
    I developed a custom Application for SharePoint on top Office 365 in Auto-hosted mode. The application has SQL database which will be deployed to SQL Azure.
    I would like to read some info from the database but using another tools not from inside the developed application (e.g. SharePoint designer, PowerPivot) to generate some reports.
    When I try to connect to the database after the application installation using SharePoint Designer I get the following error message:
    Cannot open server 'xxxxxxxxxxx' requested by the login. Client with IP address '41.239.166.230' is not allowed to access the server.  To enable access, use the Windows Azure Management Portal or run sp_set_firewall_rule on the master database to create
    a firewall rule for this IP address or address range.  It may take up to five minutes for this change to take effect.
    Login failed for user 'db_c6ab7aa1_4572_4d36_b99d_741dee28a139_dbo'.

    And since I am using the Autohosted mode, I don;t have he Windows Azure Management Portal. is there a workaround for this issue?
    Kind Regards,
    Thanks in advance for you help. Mahmoud

    Hi m_3ryan,
    The error message shows you need to add your IP Address to the firewall rules of the SQL Azure to get yourself connected. As you deploy the database to SQL Azure, you mean you cannot open window azure management portal?
    Follow the steps in below article, check whether it works:

  • Move website hosting from the Office 365 to BC

    Hi, i'm trying to help a client to move his website from the Office 365 hosting to BC, but we want to continue to manage the email in Office 365 .
    this is the status of the domain,  anyone can suggest me the right procedure ? since i didn't find clear info and i don't want to have problems later with my client.
    thanks in advance

    you can try using third party tools to do the content migration between the sites in office 365.
    Check MetaVis http://www.metavistech.com/category/tools-office-365 
    ShareGate is another tools http://en.share-gate.com/features
    Interms of 5000 limit its threshold limit not the actual items in the list.
    Check the below article for list limits, the below one applies for SharePoint online as well(http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx#_Toc355079915)

  • Problems with Calendar.App in Mavericks syncing to Office 365

    About three weeks ago, my 10.9 OSX Calendar application stopped showing any calendar events for the sync'd Exchange account, my corporate e-mail account hosted in Microsoft Office 365.
    I have confirmed that Outlook for Mac 2011 and also Outlook on PC (in Fusion) both work correctly, also I've checked with another Exchange service and it appears to sync ok.  So it's something specific to the hosted Exchange environment, however as it's a cloud service my support options are highly limited.
    I was hoping someone might have an idea on how to progress this further, here are some details of the path I've walked.
    1 - Un-checked the Calendar option in the Internet Accounts Section, reboot, start Calendar, let it sit for a while and re-enable.
         No luck, tried several times
    2 - Removed the whole Exchange account, re-booted and re-added
         No luck, tried several times
    3 - Tried starting to remove caches and other temp files as per other suggestions
         No luck
    4 - Took drastic action and re-installed Mavericks from scratch
         No luck, exactly the same issue
    5 - Tried removing all calendar events from my calendar, disable calendar and re-enable calendar
         No luck, exactly the same issue
    The other gmail account that I sync with works just fine, as did my Exchange account up until a few weeks back, would be wonderful to know what has happened.
    Here is a log file extract that is somewhat interesting, however of no value that I can find at all sadly.
    Mar  4 20:51:17 sMacBookAir.local CalendarAgent[312]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.exchange.queue] [Save failed in -[CalOperationQueue executeOperations]. Error = Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1560 "Multiple validation errors occurred." UserInfo=0x7f98748156e0 {NSDetailedErrors=(

    It turns out that I may have not waited enough time for the wipe of all of my existing calendar appointments to sync through.
    I created a few more in outlook, deleted them, checked via the office 365 web calendar they were deleted.
    Then I waited another 15 minutes, created the Exchange/Office365 account from scratch, and magic I appear to be back!
    (until something else goes wrong that is)

  • NBN doesn't work with Office 365

    Anyone else having problems with accessing Office 365 on the NBN?  Trying to work out if it's specific to the NBN Fiber to the Basement trial we're on or a broader issue - and getting run in circles by Telstra.  Spent hours on the phone today just getting passed to the next department! Here's the issue. NBN connection works fine - nice and fast, no problem. BUT we have regular problems where we can;t access outlook.office365.com (our hosted exchange via Office 365) - either through Outlook desktop or Ouytlook Web Access.  Everything else still works at that time, just not email.  We can even get to the SharePoint sites in the same O365 tenant - it just appears to be a problem with traffic getting blocked to the Exchange server, If we swich back to the old ADSL service - everything works (just much slower). If we take a laptop to another network (Optus / Telstra Cable or hot spotting via a mobile phone) - everything works. So quite specifically this is an issue with the NBN network.  Either the NBN modem, or the network itself.  We've tried switching the modem, didn't help.  To be clear - it does work SOMETIMES, but here it worked mostly before with occassional problems, now it mostly FAILS and only occassionally works.  It ALWAYS works on other networks so it is not a problem with the client devices, or the Office 365 accounts.  It's not a problem with the switches or cabling in the office because it works on the old ADSL.  The only thing it doesn;t work on is the NBN. We've tried the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) - didn't help. Anyone else experienced this?  I'm thinking now it might be a configuration on the DSLAM in the basement?  Or the Telstra Broadband Remote Access Server - but trying to find somoene in Telstra to actually discuss this with me and get some help is proving impossible. Thanks 

    I not a Telstra employee, but I have a tech background, but not in internet protocols. You may consider ringing. Microsoft possibly ???  who  may ???     be using some access protocol that NBN will not access ???????? There are some extremely highly specialist and qualified  technical IT folk in some specific forums, just for example,  Whirlpool.     who actually are employed in that area of IT. You may want to search if anyone else has experienced this.  The more I think about this, the more I think Microsoft may be your best port of call ???  

  • API for office 365

    Hi,
    I'm looking to access Office 365 mail, calendar, contacts.
    Is there are REST API available for this?
    I found I can use SOAP, but when authenticating against https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx I'm not getting anything.
    Is there anything specific settings in Office 365 that needs to be enabled? I'm not developing an app for office 365. Simply want to push and pull data from Office 365 using stateless web calls without library. For reference I'm using Python.
    I appreciate any help or references. Thanks!
    Andrew

    HI, thanks for the response.
    I just have one question, maybe you can help me out with, I would really appreciate it.
    Do I have to setup a special account such as an app developer account or is web authentication via the Office 365 user and password sufficient?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Generate reports from lists in SharePoint 2013 (Office 365)

    Hello everyone,
    We are in the need to generate reports from lists in SharePoint 2013. The reports would do data mingling between lists (like a relational database) and generate the reports in HTML and maybe a link to pdf on the SharePoint site.
    We are currently generating reports in Access. This is an issue for two reasons:
    Reports cannot be generated on the fly. Whenever we want reports in pdf form, we have to go into Access and run our reports macro written in VBA. It essentially generates the reports as pdf into our synced SkyDrive, which syncs it to our SharePoint site
    Report generation cannot be done by the client. This is due to the same concept as (1). We need to generate reports in Access.
    Is there any way to do this in SharePoint 2013? Are there any apps that do this?
    Any guidance or help would be appreciated.
    FYI: Our SharePoint server is hosted on the Office 365 network. It is not a local system.
    Thanks

    One option is to run the info into a Word Template and then run Word Automation Services to convert to PDF, but I think you're still going to run into some similar issues.

  • Architecture of sharepoint App office 365 questions

    Hello,
    This is my first foray into sharepoint hosted app for office 365.      Basically just a List with some fields and lookup fields (cascading dropdowns) ,  the supporting lists for the lookups,   and then another list with Children
    documents of the first list.   
    So just taking it to the simplest terms a few lists what is the best way to build this?    should I just create the lists and maybe a couple of content types manually in a site on office 365?    Should I create an App that has the list
    definitions, content Types, etc?   Should I Create an app that has the content types and javascript necessary for the cascading dropdowns and then just create the list manually?    I'm just trying to figure out what makes the most sense.  
    This is something we want everyone in company to use to submit requests for service so we don't want a bunch of instances of it all over our office 365 we just want to deploy it once.   Also need to be able to update design easily.     
    So just being a newby to office 365 I'm trying to wrap my head around how I should put this together. 
    Thanks for any input,
    Brad

    If this is going to be an app that you want to maintain with new versions then you should create an app that provisions the lists and content types. This way you can make changes to lists, contentypes and site columns in later versions and leverage the O365
    infrastructure to automatically update the existing apps. Some links are here:

  • Office 365 Exchange

    Guys,
    I am testing Office 364 Exchange. According to the manual, I need to change the dns servers from my hostingprovidor into ns1.bdm.microsoftonline.com  and ns2.bdm.microsoftonline.com . But when I do that, my website isn't available anymore.
    So, I would like to use office 365 and exchange but I would like to keep my website @ my hostingprovidor.How an I get that done?
    regards,

    Hi,
    You do not need to change the NS record to be able to test Office 365.
    The only reason for doing so, is to let Office 365 manage you DNS entirely.

    What you probably want is to just change MX, and a few CNAMEs and some SRV records. You get the values for the records if you add your domain in the Office 365 admin center.
    Take a look at these two support documents.

  • Can I migrate users from a hosted Exchange 2010 to Office 365 Enterprise E1 without the need of third party software?

    I am hoping I am posting to the correct forum.  We are currently using a hosted Exchange 2010 service through Intermedia and due to continuing issues with them and the pricing, we are getting ready to migrate to Microsoft’s Office 365 Enterprise
    E1 platform.  My question is this, besides the fact that we will need to set up ADFS for SSO, will I be able to migrate our existing mailboxes from Intermedia to Office 365 without having to purchase additional software? 
    The current configuration we have with Intermedia allows for us to use OWA and our OST files for our current users are cached locally on the workstations. 
    We also do not have any public folders in use.  I have searched the web, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer or steps that I should take to prepare for this type of migration. 
    Any suggestions on this matter would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    It looks as I should be able to from reading that article.  Not sure why the company that want to set this all up for me wanted $12,000 for something I can do with 6 steps.
    Thank you

  • 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.
