Best Membership Site Portal Service?
Though I AM using a portal script as a homepage for the IM4Newbies Forum ... the available options for membership sites are FAR more advanced, feature wise.
Ken Evoy's SiteBuildIt! program recommends two that are pretty much the leaders of the membership portal market.
One is MemberStar's subscription and member site solution ...
The other is VisionGate's content and subscription management.
Both offer tons of features and options ... integration with all the popular payment processing methods, templates, subscription management and follow up, templates, WYSIWYG authoring tool ... I can't list all the features here, unfortunately, that either service offers their clients.
The only thing swaying me in the direction of VisionGate is my own personal preference in regards to the professional appearance and layout of the VG sites I've researched, like world renowned copywriter Michel Fortin's SuccessDoctor.com membership site.
I had the honor of interacting with Michel ... and we discussed membership site options in our conversation.
Mr. Fortin told me that he ... and other VG members, have actually made suggestions that have been implemented in the latest version of VisionGate ... VG2.
Though I highly recommend both of the aforementioned membership site solutions ... I'm probably going to use VG2, myself, in the near future ..;)
But, hey ... who knows.
MemberStar may come out with a new version that will pull me over to their side by that time. ;)

I too have been looking at Visiongate and Memberstar for a new membership site I'm opening soon. Like you, my first inclination was to go with Visiongate, but now I'm having second thoughts.
Over the last 7-10 days I've tried several times to use their demo, but their system for sending you information about logging into it apparently doesn't work. I've never been able to test it.
I've also emailed them twice in the same period of time with some questions I have about their product. I've never received a response.
Their apparent lack of customer service has me leaning towards Memberstar more and more.

: 11:53 PMIt adds value to the post ...and I appreciate it.
As I mentioned ... I think both services have a lot to offer, so customer support could easily be a deciding factor.
Thanks, again,
Mike
