Tech For Free!

If you are a non-profit/charity organization seeking the ability to share your FileMaker databases with others, then this is your lucky day. Neo Code Software provides FREE FileMaker hosting to charity organizations. This is a great savings considering the cost of FileMaker Server Advanced is $2,500, not to mention the cost of paying  for hosting services,  or purchasing your own server.

The free hosting plan allows you to have multiple files uploaded to the server, although you may only have 2 files open at the same time. To apply for the free hosting account you will need to contact Neo Code Software and you will need to provide them with documentation of your charity status along with basic contact information. sales@neocodesoftware.com or call 1-888-748-0668.

If you want to take things to the next level you might want to consider Neo Code’s fee based products and services. They offer an integrated suite of products that includes content management, order processing, and email outreach, and they offer custom development to extend their products or create new products unique to the clients’ needs. They have their own data center, offering hosting and management services to insure solid deployment and response. In addition Neo Code software provides web development, consulting, support contracts and remote desktop and server administration work down.

If the you are happy with Neo Code and would like to reward them, here are some ideas they suggest:

• official donation receipt
• adding this text to your website “FileMaker hosting proudly sponsored by Neo Code Software” with a link to us
• hiring our IT managers, developers, troubleshooters and network administrators to assist with projects

This is a very generous offer from Neo Code so be sure to reward them appropriately!

I personally am not eligible for this Neo Code’s hosting service so I was unable to test their setup process and speed, but I can tell you that FileMaker Server 9 Advanced is a great product, that allows you to also work from the clouds! If you have a chance to try out Neo Code’s free service, go for it!

Would love to hear comments back on this one….I’m sure new readers would as well!
