Hi everyone, I'm a fairly new poster here.

I am a user of various legitimate PTC websites, and for sometime now I have aspired to start my own PTC site.

Back about 2 years ago, I purchased a PTC script from a local company, customized the script, but never went live with the site because I had real life complications which required me to spend a lot less time on my computer.

Now that I'm back in the world of internet marketing primarily, I am looking again to make this aspiration a reality. Using the script I already purchased, I have been unable to really customize things the way I would like, and I also had some security concerns because the script I purchased only had basic .htaccess security features in place, and further security features would require further customization of the script and a further payment to the company that created the script.

I know PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS pretty extensively, but at the same time when it comes to security, I usually rely on scripting done by someone else, because it's not my strong point.

Since I started brainstorming about my new venture into starting a PTC site, I found BuxHost, which offers a premade "Bux" script and hosting/domain for $25 per month, but I don't really want to go that route, because I want my site to be unique, not a copy of a script that everyone has seen (and most are weary of these sites because of the number of scam sites that use BuxHost).

I started investigating the possibility of using WordPress as a platform for a new PTC site, by utilizing various plugins, some of which would be security plugins for added protection, user profile plugins to store all of the extra information, etc., etc.

I am currently creating this WordPress based PTC site on my home server, and was wondering if anyone would be interested to give me their thoughts on whether this will be possible to complete, and perhaps if anyone knows of any specific plugins that would work well with this type of WordPress site.

One issue that I am trying to tackle is the viewing of an ad in a new window, with a countdown which will display a success message once the countdown is complete. Initially I had the idea to load the page that is being advertised in a lightbox which loads 2 iframes, one for the ad and one for the countdown, which worked for the ad portion, however, the countdown plugin I was using wouldn't work within the lightbox, as the situation resulted in a shortcode for the countdown plugin being placed within the lightbox shortcode.

Any thoughts, feedback, and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
