What kind of site would be a good match for the Basic subscription?
Personal blogs, micro-communities, family sites, small non-profit groups and religious organizations would benefit from a Basic Subscriptions. These sites often operate on a small budget and suffer no significant business impact from downtime. But they are still at risk for security vulnerabilities, upgrade incompatibilities, and user-generated content spam and abuse that can consume scarce resources and frustrate site visitors. The Basic subscription provides smaller sites with access to peer-led guidance and assistance through the Acquia Subscriber forums. It also offers a full range of Acquia Network services to help these smaller sites keep up to date, secure, and spam free. When a need for more complete support emerges, a quick upgrade to the Standard or Professional subscription is always available.
