Installation of pligg in a server should not be hard work. Recently I get a quite from Christopher Cummings of Pligg-Templates.com. It says

"we are offering installation services for ... $100 to install Pligg on your server ".
Ya..its $100.00. Anyone has idea why it should be that costly?

I don't know the people at Pligg-Templates and I' don't want to bash them but you're getting ripped off if you spend more than $5-10. I can install pligg in less than 3 minutes if there are no problems (not counting time it takes to upload files). I'm not sure how you can beat the a price of $5 to have a pligg developer install Pligg for you.

In the classified services we can get KB install for just $5

I can install pligg in less than 3 minutes if there are no problems (not counting time it takes to upload files).

Even uploading the pligg script will take less then a minute I'll post a tut for this later.

Don't know how simple installation fee could be 100$ ? Is it a jock?

Hi guys,

This is Christopher from Pligg-Templates. I just wanted to chime in with the rationale for the price. The installation costs are set to ensure the job is done correctly. Installation is often the point at which there are the greatest number of issues to resolve, particularly because people have different configurations on their servers. We are very focused on providing top-notch support and service for our customers and our price comes with the guarantee that we will get the installation setup and working properly. Also, the price is inline with the cost you'll find in other open source communities (for example, PHP List, a newsletter program, costs $75 GBP to install, which is well over $100: http://www.phplist.com/installed). We recognize that there are cheaper options for installation (like doing it yourself ). But for the people who want a high level of support, we think this is a fair price for the service that we provide.

All the best,
Christopher

$149 for a template?

Thankfully I am developing my own style which will soon replace the digitalnature template I am currently using.
