    Hello,

    I already paid a visit to their site, but couldn't quite exactly understand the differences between phpLD2 and phpLD3?

    I know version 2 is free and version 3 costs.

    I have noticed some sites using the nulled version of phpld3, the ones you download from warez sites.

    Why doesn't their host block these sites? Does phpLD know which sites are using a nulled version?

    Possibly not.

    phpLD 3.3 is better. You need to pay for support though.

    What are the main differences between the two?

    Do most websites use the free or the paid version?

    There are so many differences between phpLD free version 2 and phpLD paid version 3.

    Such as bulk approval,reject etc in paid version (not it free version), SPAM protection in paid version (not in free version), you have to pay $25 for paid version with link back and $75 without link back (Nil in free version ofcourse with link back :D) and many more.

    DON.

    my internationel directory analyzis company reported that 95% of indian directories are buiolded on php.l.d version 2 because is best free.

    My options goes in php.l.d 2 because it is f.r.e.e and good value for the money invested.

    If I use free version of phpLD2 for awhile then I decide to go for phpLD3 (paid version) Is it possible or easy to upgrade?

    Well your grammar is getting better :)

    Just because something is FREE doesn't always mean its better.

    If you like being spammed to death or build the directory to sell
    a few weeks later then i guess free is the way to go for you.

    If its FREE then what exactly was your investment :confused:



    thx

    as mentioned above, very easy, just setup v3 and then import your db from v2, you will need a new template, plenty of good free ones around.

    it easy to look, people build using free and paid... if people build by free version it easy to see at Buy and Sell : Site.... it really easy, just buy database and put it at directory... and sell it again...

    if you looking make a good and quality directory i suggest just using 3.3 it's better for you... and paid for forum support.
