Movable Type, an add-on service, costs just an extra $2.95 per month with any Web hosting plan.
Our dedicated Movable Type team will have Movable Type installed on your pair Networks account within one business day.
For your $2.95 per month Movable Type fee, you can create as many blogs as you need with as many authors as you need. If your multiple blogs become popular and require more resources, you can upgrade your hosting plan all the way up to our QuickServe dedicated server offering.
Please note that this Movable Type service is not for resale.
Yes, you can post multiple blogs to multiple domain names under a single pair Networks Web hosting account with a single Movable Type license. Please note, however, that you can only use one administration panel per Movable Type license. This single administration panel can handle administrative functions for all the Movable Type blogs you have on your Web hosting account. This administration panel needs to be accessed via one domain name on your account.
If you wish to use multiple administration panels for your blogs, you must purchase additional Movable Type licenses. But you can have as many authors and as many blogs as you need with a single Movable Type license.
Movable Type offers the ability for people to import blog entries from other blogging applications. First, you will have to export your blog entries from the other blog publishing system and then import those entries into Movable Type.
