Full List of OpenEntry Services
The basic version of the OpenEntry client software is free, including lifetime updates. It can be used as a desktop tool to organize product information and produce cost-effective catalogs on paper and CD. This software also enables you to FTP a full function web catalog to any server anywhere (however OpenEntry User Support can not help you with catalogs not hosted on our server). You can also upload a complete catalog to the OpenEntry server for a free (limited to 50 products). To get the full range of services you need to purchase at least the $100/yr basic hosting package described below.
User Support is available free 24/7 via live chat on Skype or BoldChat.
After you have registered for an account you can go to www.OpenEntry.com to log into your Control Panel to see all the details of your account status. There you can take the first step to purchase a $100/yr basic web hosting package with capacity for up to 100 products. This establishes your billing cycle and the following annual services can be purchased on a prorated basis (for example, if three months into your billing cycle, you choose to purchase the $200/yr account management package, you would only pay $150 for remaining 3/4 of the first year and then pay the full $200 when it comes up for renewal at the start of the second year of your billing cycle.)
The annual prorated services (above the $100/yr basic hosting package) offered by OpenEntry are the following:
- $100/yr - extra disk space for 101 - 300 products (next 200 = $200)
- $100/yr - extra disk space for 301 - 700 products (next 400 = $300)

Other services are charged on a one-time basis and include the following:
- $200 - basic catalog setup - just send the User Support Staff the basic information on your company and products (images, descriptions, prices, etc.) so they create your first complete catalog using one of our standard templates.

This service is also relevant for having our User Support staff convert your existing web site to the OpenEntry format.
- $300 - custom template design - coordinate on-line with one of our designers to create a custom design for you starting with any web site you point them to
- $400 - custom template with Flash - if you want a more dramatic effect with movement and music, our designer can do that too
- $20 - connect your own domain - if you already own a domain and want to connect it to your OpenEntry catalog, you have to point it to our server as per instructions from our User Support (remember that you are responsible for annual renewals of your domain)

- Direct listing to www.eBay.com and free live chat
