The SaaS model provides a pre-installed, ready-to-configure copy of Red Door™ Commerce on a high-grade, dedicated web server that has been fully optimized for running E-Commerce applications. Red Door™ maintains a supply of pre-installed web servers in a state-of-the-art data center, available to new customers in minutes.
The key advantage of this model is that the customer does not have set up their own web server and install the software. Also, software updates and feature add-ons automatically propagate to customers, who are better able to focus on building out their E-Commerce content without worrying about supporting and configuring the underlying E-Commerce software. The SaaS model is widely used throughout the Internet industry because of the efficiencies it creates for software vendors and customers alike. Red Door’s SaaS model is priced by the month, with a 12-month minimum contract term.

The SAL model is the traditional method of selling software, in which the software comes packaged and is installed by the end-user from disk. The customer assumes the task of procuring a web server, configuring it for database-driven E-Commerce applications and installing Red Door™ Commerce. The customer is responsible for installing software updates and feature add-ons, as well as maintaining the performance of the web server and its Internet connectivity. There is an initial license fee for the software along with annual license renewal fees.

The SAL with Managed Web Hosting offers the best of both options. You’ll enjoy long-term cost savings by purchasing the one-time software license up front, as well as the worry-free set up and maintenance of the web server by Red Door™. We’ll ensure that your E-Commerce installation is always up-to-date and running smoothly. Our expertise in building and managing complex E-Commerce servers will allow you to focus on developing world-class content. In addition, we have access to some of the cleanest IP’s and C-blocks in the world, a prerequisite for achieving top rankings in major search engines.
