even better, multistreaming Security features
stop users from sharing PPV passwords and tickets
with 2FA (two- factor authentication) Low fees
many providers include hidden fees and
transaction costs White-label customization
personalize and brand your video player Another
important thing to consider when you create a pay
access website is your domain name, and website
host. Lets start with your domain name. Your
domain name will be the URL that links to your
website. It should be memorable and catchy so
that viewers can easily pass it on to
others. Choosing your web host requires a bit
more research. At the very least, make sure that
your chosen host offers cPanel which allows you
to install WordPress very easily. Installing
WordPress via cPanel is as easy as installing
software on your computer and requires only a few
clicks. Your host should have servers that are
speedy and optimized for content management
systems. Waiting for websites to load is
frustrating, reduces the chances of viewers
wanting to stick around, and pushes your website
to the bottom of search results. Once you have
logged into your chosen host, follow the process
via the cPanel install wizard. This process
differs from host to host, but it should be easy
to complete.

Another method would be to install WordPress
manually via FTP. We only recommend this for more
experienced users. While there are many other
website builders, WordPress is by far the most
established one. It gives you countless
possibilities to customize your site and the fact
that its free makes it perfect for a small
business. Now that youve chosen your provider,
host, and domain name, you can get things up and
running! After completing the installation, you
will have a generic-looking website with
placeholder content. Dont worry about that for
now you can get things looking prettier once
you have your video player integrated with your
website. The first thing to do is install a
WordPress maintenance plugin. This will allow you
to display a placeholder image of your choice to
anyone accessing your website while you are
working on it. Once you have finished updating
your website, you can disable this
plugin. Adding plugins extends your website's
functionality, and is very easy to do.

You dont need a WordPress pay-per-view plugin.
You only need a PPV provider. Make sure you have
signed into the administration section of your
website. You will usually type in your domain
name followed by wp-admin. For example,
www.example.com/wp-admin. Once signed in, click
Plugins on the bar to the left of your screen,
followed by Add New.
You can install any WordPress plugins with this
method. This process is the same for adding any
plugin such as community boards, newsletter
functionality, and much more. You will install
each plugin separately, and each has its own
respective set of options. These options are
available on the WordPress sidebar on the left of
the screen. But lets not get ahead of
ourselves just yet! Luckily, WordPress and the
embed code provided by your PPV platform should
work together straight away. And you shouldn't
have to make any changes to WordPress to get
things working!
