Getting Started
The best way to test out our product is to sign up for a Hosted Project Server plan and see how it works for you. If you cancel in the first 30 days for any reason, we will refund your money back. We also have a demo here: http://projectserver2010demo.apps4rent.info/ (username:Hostallapps\demo password:Completed@1111)
The first step is to sign up for a plan that suits your needs. Once you signup, the account will be setup within hours.
We need basic information such as company name and valid credit card information. You can bring your own domain, use our subdomain, or purchase a domain name from us to link with your site.
Usually an account is ready in few hours of customer sign up. However, it might take us one business day to set up any Project Server instances.
By default we provide one Project Server instance per account. This will be available to your users who has valid permissions and login details to login into your Project Server site. This can be your production instance or test instance. If you need both then you need to have another Project Server instance. In other words, you need to have a test instance which can have less users and a production instance which can have all your users. Both accounts will be billed separately.
Each paid user can access the Project Server instance from browser via Project Web App or Project Professional or Microsoft Project Pro. However, the Project Professional client software is not included in the price and should be purchased separately. If you do not have Project Professional then you can purchase it from us.
Project Lite is a lighter version of Project and is priced significantly cheaper. If you wish to use Project Lite then there are two ways of doing this. If you sign up for Hosted Project Server which is provided from our Infrastructure, then there is only one type of license in the hosted environment-which is the full-fledged Project Server license. There is no lighter version of Project License. However, with Dedicated Project Server plans, you will be able to use Project Lite licenses for your team members.
Alternately, you can choose Project Online which is a part of Microsoft Office 365 and is hosted with Microsoft. When you purchase Project Online from us you and your End Users get real 24 x 7 support via phone/chat and e-mail along with free migration assistance. We have been supporting Project Server and similar technologies for more than 10 years. We add more value to Project Online by using our years of experience. We know the pain points of migration and supporting end users. We take care of both when you sign up for Project Online with us.
We have designed the hosted Project Server solutions in such a way that the hosted software runs in a reliable and secure way right from the beginning. We provide 24×7 sales and technical support to customers via phone/chat and e-mail for any issues related to hosting. Regarding the application functionality and configuration to business needs, Apps4Rent does not provide any advice beyond technical issues.
We provide free migration help. We will need the database backup of your Project Server implementation. Once the signup is done, we will provide you the FTP location to upload the backups. Once we have the backup, we will restore it in a test environment first and on successful restoration, restore it on the production server. Typical migrations are completed within 24 hours.
