Edition Options
See the edition options you have for shared cloud and dedicated cloud editions in MinistryPlatform.
Depending on your MinistryPlatform edition and tier, we offer optional services to maximize your use of MinistryPlatform. These options display on your invoice with the appropriate monthly cost.
MinistryPlatform editions feature the same software for end users. What makes editions unique is where the system is hosted and who manages the infrastructure. These features have additional costs because they increase the server resource use or management effort. These features are not built into the base maintenance because many customers do not need them.
Contact Support to add or discontinue features for your edition or identify your tier. For pricing, call 1-800-736-7425.
Shared Cloud
Vanity/Personalized URL
Your MinistryPlatform system users can access the software from a subdomain of your church's website. This option includes the management of an SSL Certificate you will approve. This option is available for Shared Cloud Tier 2 and 3. (Shared Cloud Tier 1 will be assigned a subdomain of ministryplatform.com.)
Partner API Access
Shared Cloud is the MinistryPlatform edition designed for churches that do not plan to customize MinistryPlatform directly. However, if you have a custom development project you want to complete with the help of one of our partners, this edition option is required. It is available for Shared Cloud Tier 3.
Dedicated Cloud
Sandbox Deployments
Request this option if you are engaged in regular user training or customization efforts that benefit from a separate copy of your MinistryPlatform system. The sandbox is installed and maintained for you by our team. If you have a single-server instance of Dedicated Cloud, we may review your system and ensure it has adequate resources for this additional load. Additional hosting charges may apply if it does not. This option is not available to Shared Cloud.
See Sandbox Deployments.
Development Deployments
Request this option if you have multiple, complex production applications using MinistryPlatform and you need to test your software before you make any updates to your production instance of MinistryPlatform. This option is not available to Shared Cloud.
