Where can I go on the web to get answers about building websites, particularly e-commerce?
I want to ask how I can make a "members only area" which will display the content to people who have paid memberships and I want to figure out how to make it impossible for them to get in once the membership expires.
I am not getting good answers from Yahoo answers, on this particular question.

You didn’t say what type of code you want to use. This will have to be an active code with a database backend for membership storage, expiration date, passwords, etc. So you will have to use something like php,mysql to do this.
Personnally rather than reinvent the wheel..
try http://www.vibralogix.com/sitelokpw/
works fine is easy to integrate and manages members just like you want.
or http://sourceworkshop.com/advanced_scripts/members_manager_script.html
or
http://www.americanfinancing.net/advanced-mysql-members-script.cfm if you have the advanced skills to implement it.
There are tons of similar scripts out there. Just search for
php membership management or asp membership management etc.
