Creating A Paid Members Site

Need help on the coding

[Witzbold]

Hello, I am trying to start a buisness in which people pay to be memebers of a site, and once they pay there is a member name and password assigned to each person. If you have any suggestion please help me. I know very little coding and a slight grasp on webpage design, please help.

You're kind of asking for a lot of information here ... there is so much to doing this, I suggest you either hire someone who knows how to do it or spend the next few months learning the basics of the programming language of your choice.

It's not quite clear for me from your posting whether you want to hire someone or to just get help..

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Witzbold.

I assume you're looking for info about restricting site access to members only (rather than how to build the site itself). The cheapest way to do this is to use .htaccess - there is also commercial software that you can use for creating member sites, from simple password management systems to full blown content management systems.

Where can you get this .htaccess software and information on how to set it up?

.htaccess is a text file for giving directives to Apache Web Server.

Here's the technical guide from Apache's website:

If you dig around a bit, you should be able to find out how to password protect using this method, although it is not the epitome of great security from what I understand.

Here's some discussions on password protecting with .htaccess
