I have a couple questions. I am playing around with the trial version. I already have an active website developed through dreamweaver (not currently in concrete5) but I would like to transfer this site. I understand I will likely have to rebuild the site and I am prepared to do that. I have already purchased a theme. My current website is being hosted by ixwebhosting. What is the order I need to proceed? If I build my site in the trial, will it transfer? Do I need to start in the submit my website (or whatever that one is called?)....Anyone have suggestions on what to do first? I don't want to have to purchase the theme twice (i.e. once for trial and once to transfer it) but I also don't know if I need to activate it first and then make all the changes. Thanks anyone who can help.

Your CMS authenticates in concrete5.org and gets your theme/add-on from there. So even if you host it elsewhere, nothing you've purchased is going to be lost.
Much like your smartphone's apps.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory. And I'm not sure what happens after your trial expires, but I believe there is some grace period to purchase an actual subscription plan.

Thank you! Is there some place I can see the cost of the different subscription plans?

I was not familiar with concrete5's commercial services. I just looked into it, and it seems they have build their hosting services for larger enterprises -http://enterprise.concrete5.com/services/hosting/...
I can imagine $750 would be quite a lot for a startup, sorry for misleading you.

Otherwise just about any web host should support concrete5.
So, to sum it up:
- You can host wherever you want to
- Your purchased items won't get lost

If you need someone to take care of things for you, do get in touch!

Thank you! This is very helpful! Do you also know if I need to put my real http address in my trial version if I want to transfer it over? I'm kind of confused about the projects portion and submitting a site.
