Why is the "Professional Installation" expensive?

Hi,

Everyone says that VB is very easy to install, so why is the "Professional Installation" soo expensive?

Not sure, but you can try to install it yourself (getting free support in doing so via the ticketing system and the forums). If it doesn't work out, you can always purchase the professional installation later on.

this is a logical statement... because it is very easy to install when you have the proper requirements, you have to pay the effort invested by someone else to do the job you can't do...

also, a lot of site owners are not into web stuff, they just want a website... so they prefer to pay someone for the job to be done efficiently...

if by expensive you say 50$, i will tell you that 50$ is my floor charge for any work i do for my clients... at least 50$/hour is a minimum salary for a web coder... and i can tell you that i'm not the most expensive... some of the guys here multiply that salary by 4 or 5...

I always encourage people to try this first themselves. However some people don't want to be bothered, and some people are on hosts that make it very difficult and time-consuming to install vBulletin. For this reason the paid installations are almost always the most difficult and time-consuming ones.
