Technical requirements

TourCMS is managed by us centrally. This means you don't have to host and support the primary application infrastructure - or more simply - leave the worries to us - letting you focus on marketing and operating your tours.

• Web browser - Internet Explorer versions from 5.0 up, Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla 1.4
• Web browser should support SSL v3 (SSL v2 not permitted on TourCMS servers for security reasons)
• Internet connection
• Cookies & JavaScript must be enabled
• Static IP address throughout user session (but can be dynamic on reconnection)
• Individual email address

Don't worry if you don't understand the list above. These requirements are met by nearly all web browsers and internet connections. If you can see this web page, you can use TourCMS.

Advised, but not mandatory:

• Static IP address - enabling lockdown of connection between your office and the central system, giving additional security
• 1024 x 768 or larger screen size
• Internet Explorer 6 and up, Mozilla 1.6 and up
• Microsoft Excel (or other spreadsheet application) for reports
• Microsoft Word (or other wordprocessor application) for creating documents such as invoices etc. (RTF format)
• Turn off Google toolbar (or at least auto fill)

Webserver requirements:

If you wish to use TourCMS to manage your website you will need your own web hosting account.

Its preferable if you have a server / web hosting that has a scripting language (such as PHP or Perl) - especially if you want to code additional business logic with the data exported from TourCMS. However, TourCMS can produce flat HTML files. These files are FTPed to your own hosting.

From a TourCMS perspective, you don't need SSL or any database capabilities on your webhosting.
