What is Character Hosting?
The Character Hosting service offers many of the features
of the Character Builder and Character Server products, but is conveniently packaged as a web-based service.
The resulting Flash files are hosted on our servers, but appear on your website.
Our growing list of applet templates lets you quicky create characters that
greet users, answer FAQs, and chat with users, and more.
With a knowledge of JavaScript, you can even use an API to play "dynamic messages" using text
that is not known in advance, such as a stock quote or a user's name.
Our straightforward pricing is based on usage, and represents one of the best values in the industry.
There is even a free level for non-commerical use.
If you grow beyond the capabilities of the templates, or if you need actual Flash or video files
for embedding, then please consider upgrading to the Character Builder.
How does it work?
Log in to your console and create a new applet. Choose from
dozens of characters, many of them customizable.
Upload your own background images.
Create messages using your own voice, or use Text-to-Speech.
Preview your applet. When you are ready, get an HTML tag to
insert into your web page.
Log in whenever you like to change your applet. Since your applet is linked to
your site, your visitors will see your changes as soon as you publish them.

How is it priced?
Character Hosting is free for non-commercial use, but is subject to logo requirements and
has no level-of-service guarantee.
While the free level may be suitable for a personal blog site, you will need a
subscription plan to unlock some features, and to ensure a consistent, logo-free
experience for all of your clients.
