I highly recommend for creating membership site using amember Pro. A real gift from heaven? No I think not! But if a heaven existed I think God would use aMember to manage the new entries! The aMember script is a real positive add-on to my Internet marketing carreer, as the real money is in recurring income. And aMember is more than capable to deliver and manage membership sites. Yes! CGI Central provided a more secure future for me. That being said the following message is about the support! My team of coders has developed a Desktop Application. I basically wanted members that purchased this app to login and be verified through aMember, this to see if they have an active subscription and eligble to use the software. The 4.2.4 update came with the introduction of the API that made this all possible. Perfect timing, and a outstanding explanation by the support team which solved my issues within just a couple of hours. The update however gave some admin and client errors on my side. Now what I did, I simply filed a support ticket and within 30 minutes.. Someone from support logged into my server and solved everything. Yes, everything is fixed now and I can continue with my marketing adventure. All I want to say, Thank you aMember for making my Internet marketing life a bit easier and perhaps more importantly.. FUN! Regards and I hope you BHW can find some value in this review, Thanks. Steven Jones PS. If you have ever considered running a membership site then aMember is definitely an investment you should consider because it delivers on every aspect on managing a good membership site and I promise you that you will not be dissapointed. The entry price might be steep, but membership sites will earn you more in the long run! PPS. Not affiliated in any way with these guys, just a happy customer.

BHW.. so wanna add something in this... 1. Customer Support Sucks! 2. After purchase if u want to integrate into any script u gotta pay. 3. Customer Support sucks! Its very nice script and even customer support was great before few months.. from past 2-3 months they are taking more than 2 days to give a small response.
