Why Choose MyACT!

OUR KEY DIFFERENTIATOR FROM OTHER HOSTING PROVIDERS:

MaxControl® gives you full control over the administration of ACT!

When you decide to host your database, you should know there are certain things that can only be performed on the Master Database. These things include: making changes to the schema (design of fields), creating remote databases, managing Activity types, setting up new ACT! users, and backing up your database. Most ACT! hosting companies give you Citrix Access to your database which can be problematic and open up security holes in their system. You also have to install software for a remote client. The Citrix access normally comes at a high monthly price ($50-$100). If remote access is not offered, the hosting company charges an hourly fee to make changes, and when your database is hosted with them you are at their mercy.

The Question to ask other hosting providers: Once my ACT! database is hosted, how will I make design changes to it?

Our Answer:  We have a unique web based tool that no other ACT! hosting company has, it is called MaxControl. With MaxControl there is no need to install a remote client to access your database. You log on at our website and manage your databases schema, create/recreate remote databases, manage users, and more. MaxControl is included with every account for free.
