Ecommerce web hosting
If you are considering ecommerce web hosting, bear in mind that the main 'extras' you will need compared with normal hosting are a shopping cart and a way of accepting payments by credit card or Paypal.
Most hosting services which advertise ecommerce web hosting make it easy to set up both of these features, often by integrating free or Open Source options into their hosting packages.
Another important feature is SSL, which you should consider adding to your hosting. This is necessary to reassure your customers that their credit card details are safe during ordering.

They offer both normal hosting, for about $6 a month, and ecommerce hosting, for about the same price.

They also have SSL options, and generous web space and bandwidth. This is a low-cost way to get started with your ecommerce web hosting. |
