Shopping Carts and Ecommerce Web Hosting
What are shopping carts and ecommerce web
hosting?
A shopping cart is a CGI scripted program that allows web site visitors to
interact with the web site. Just like at the grocery store, online
shopping carts allow visitors to collect the items that they want to buy
in their "shopping cart" or "basket" until they are ready to “check-out."
Shopping cart software makes it possible for the computer to remember what
items the visitor would like to buy as they click between pages of your
site.
Ecommerce web hosting differs
from regular web hosting because it is geared to webmasters who not only
intend to build a web site, but also plan to sell products from their
site. Ecommerce web hosting packages contain features not offered by other
web hosts, needed for selling products online such as: merchant accounts,
online credit card processing, shopping carts, product catalogs, customer
databases, web-based product management, shipping helps, etc.
Do I need a shopping cart or ecommerce web
hosting?
If you are considering selling merchandise on your site you should
definitely find a host that is compatible with shopping carts. Sometimes
setting up a shopping cart with a host that doesn’t already provide one
can get tricky. We recommend going with a host who includes a shopping
cart in the web hosting package.
