INSTALLATION SERVICE

We will install the software for you for $50. You can purchase this installation service at http://www.ashopsoftware.com/tech-service-request.htm. In order to install and setup AShop Software on your host server, the host service provider must provide a method such as phpMyAdmin to create a database and assign a user and password. Some host service providers provide browser based mySQL management tools to do this. If your server does not provide this, you may need to ask your server technical support to create a mySQL database for you and provide the database location, database name, user, and password. 

In order to install and setup the software, we will need the following information:
 
FTP username and password to directory where AShop Deluxe is to be installed.
