Announcing LemonStand Now

14 | published by Scott Szarapka on Thursday, November 17, 2011

Over the last 8 months we've been hard at work on a secret project, and today, I'm excited to be able to finally announce LemonStand Now. We've taken LemonStand and built a fast, secure and scalable SaaS around it, which will make setting up an easy-to-use store a matter of minutes.

We've partnered with Rackspace and Firehost to offer you a secure and reliable cloud-based platform for your current and future LemonStand stores!

Over the last 8 months we've been building this platform and the necessary infrastructure to support large-scale cloud hosted stores. But before we launch this service to the public, we're going to commence a closed beta to a select number of existing customers in early 2012. Follow @lemonstand on Twitter and watch this blog for the beta application announcement in the coming weeks!

LemonStand Now is the complete package. You get the same fantastic LemonStand experience without having to manage web hosting, and packed with some extra killer benefits.

No Hidden Costs or Extra Charges

LemonStand Now charges no transaction fees, no setup fees and let's you customize a package that fits your performance and budget needs. All of our plans are month to month and can be cancelled at anytime with no cancellation charges.

Nothing to Set Up

When you sign up we take care of the server setup, LemonStand installation, configuration and anything else your store might need at no cost. In addition, you always get the latest LemonStand updates without any additional costs.

Supercharged Servers

We've partnered up with Rackspace and Firehost to provide you with the fastest and most secure servers possible. In addition, all LemonStand Now stores utilize Akamai's blazing fast Content Delivery Network to serve up your resources.

Industry Leading Security

We've partnered with Firehost for a reason, they're simply the best at building secure networks. LemonStand Now's Grid is PCI compliant, has robust SSL support and will keep your customer data securely locked away and out of the wrong hands.

Tailr - LemonStand Fit For You

We wanted to be able to give you the ability to deploy a server that makes sense for your (or your Client's) store. LemonStand Tailr allows you to customize many aspects of your plan, creating a custom package that's just right for you. In addition, after you're store is running, Tailr will analyze your bandwidth usage, hits, performance and more and make suggestions that will save you money or help your store run faster.

LemonStand Now stores won't be locked into a predefined package, and Tailr will allow you the control needed to tweak specifics of your package to fit your needs. At anytime you can upgrade or downgrade without penalty.
