I really love this program and company. They are quick to respond, have answered every question and they have a KZbin tutorial for just about everything. Keep it up 3dvista great job!

Good that you showed us how to make it. Although i strongly believe that we shouldn't do it. You could simply allow us more space on your servers and give us better prices. I just checked and 28 tours of apartments and small houses that I made they take 4.09 GB. meaning that for that each tour will cost me about 10 euro per year and that's only if I have full storage. At the beginning of the business you buy storage for 99 euro for the first tour. the second and the third will already cost you only 33 per year but for the fourth tour already you need to buy more space as I calculate about 300 mega per tour. Google gives me 100GB for 2 euro per month and for 100 euro I can get 1 or even 2 TB. charging hundred per 1GB is way to much.

I tried ftp however my website does not have the file web. My hosting is with hostgator. Any help?

[@VisDomStudio]

there is no web folder when i logged into my server

[@ipkissmask8403]

Hello, we are considering buying the program. We host our website via hosting with Wordpress, is there the option of a Wordpress plugin? Or how can we connect the tours via it?

Great description of how to upload a published virtual tour to a website. BUT what can I do, if the website doesn't have the folder "web" ? - So I'm still stuck! Would appreciate help. Thanks.

[@3dvista]

Hi Walter. Depending on your server the Web folder can be called "www" or something different. You need to call your webmaster or servermaster and ask about it.

[@3dDataPro]

@@3dvista I see a www folder in my bluehost account. I uploaded the published 3d vista tour folder to it, but still can't get the tour to launch.

Hello! cool video! thx for it! can somebody please recommend a web hosting service (should be for free, as I'm experimenting), to simply link a vitual tour to friends? thx in advance...cheers

[@Turbosalami]

Hi! Just to get this clear. I want to buy the software. If I do and I have a plugin in my website, I wouldn't be paying for anything else right? It would just be the one time fee and that's that right?

[@-semola--activa-6678]

the software is a one of (i.e. not a subscription) for the most part. Other things you might want to pay for are their hosting, and also updates that occur after a year from date of purchase will not be updated automatically for you. You'll need to pay if you want them.

Our site is developed with React, would the virtual tour implementation (self hosted) be the same as above or need to be configured slightly differently such as for routing etc? Thanks

[@3dvista]

We are not familiar with React but if they are ftp based it should work the same, yes.

[@ilustra3D]

hello, I already upload the virtual tour in my hosting. And after, how i put in my wordpress site? Thanks

[@3dvista]

Here is how: www.3dvista.com/en/support/faq#1-11

[@darren_k8401]

What if you dont have a website of your own but want to make tours for other peoples websites?

[@3dvista]

You can publish "for web" and send the files to your client for them to upload.

[@fullframecreatives]

@@3dvista does this then give them the tour with the hotspots?

[@bossmouss8752]

I did uploaded it to the internet but the videos dont play. What can i do to solve it?

[@3dvista]

Hello, This problem might be happening for one or several of these reasons. 1. 360 videos are not supported by Apple in iphone 6. If you are checking the tour from an iPhone 6 the 360 videos will not show. 2.- The server that you are using doesn´t have the MIME types needed. Check our FAQ to see how to solve this problem: First, make sure that the video has been correctly uploaded via your FTP server (the upload process may have stopped or failed). If the uploading process was not the issue, check whether the required MIME types are included in your server (these are required to serve adaptive video). If you do not see the following extensions, add them: - extension: .m3u8 MIME type: application/x-mpegURL - extension: .ts MIME type: video/MP2T 3.- The video has not been sucessfully uploaded to your server.

[@bossmouss8752]

thank you very much i added some Mime types and it worked.

[@3dDataPro]

@@bossmouss8752 how do I know which Mime types to add, and which file do I add the mime types to?
