Free/cheap CRM I can install to a hosted server

[andrewrob]

I'm looking for something my business partner and I can use to keep track of leads, sales, and contacts.
I've got some free software called Reflect Customer Database which is great but can't be shared between us without a dedicated server (as far as I can see).

Ideally I want something web based that I can install on my Register 1 setup (VDS Standard) but would use anything that can be shared between the two of us.
under £40 (if that's possible)

Any advice would be much appreciated

You might be better with a cloud/Saas service rather than self hosted. Maybe Salesforce, maybe not - there are other options that could be worth considering

Try SugarCRM, it's rather well known, there is a free version available and it will work on the VDS without issue.

Thanks for that, had noticed Sugar but didn't realise there was a free community version. I'll give it a go.

I found CapsuleCRM pretty good, it is SaaS but nice and quick.

Zoho is pretty good too- loads of useful things on it.

not as slick as Salesforce, but not far off......

Another vote for SugarCRM here.

I've installed it but need to wait until I get home to sort the rest as ftp is blocked connecting through my phone.

CRM is working but the icons and display aren't right, apparently its a folder permission issue that usually causes it.

Unless you've manually edited the permissions (dont ) then it wont be a permissions issue.
Best advice, raise a support ticket via your REgister1 Portal and let me staff help

Sadly I'd already messed with the permissions before I saw your post. However, your staff have put it right and fixed my problem. Top service (again)!

Anyone else on here running Sugar CRM?

I had also been thinking about adding on Simplycast for fax broadcasting, any thoughts?
