1. What Is ECOMMERCE and Factor to be Consider
While Hosting
Ecommerce derived from the word electronic commerce, is the method of
selling or marketing goods and services while transferring funds or money
online through electronic communication or networks.
Ecommerce is also known as website ecommerce, eBusiness, eTailing, online
commerce, ecom or EC.
A typical business websites do not have the same traits or features of an
ecommerce site. In order for you to effectively distribute goods or market
services online, the features of a website ecommerce can make it easier for
you and your consumers.
The features are from shopping carts, online product catalog, automated
inventory database, statistics tracking, ability to use credit cards, and other
non-computer related tasks such as product warehousing and shipment.
Opening a business on the internet or a website ecommerce shop can give
several benefits to both merchants and customers. One of the best benefits of
conducting an online business is it cost a cheaper upfront for a merchant, as it
is easy to build an ecommerce website.
If you have an existing site, you can easily turn it into an ecommerce website
in minutes by just getting a hosting website ecommerce hosting services.
The ecommerce hosting provider will give you a step by step guide on how to
turn your normal website into a money generating site, and they also offer tips
on how you can improve your sales and get more out of your investment.
The availability of online shopping greatly contributed in attracting people.
Customers can easily browse and shop any time of the day or any day of the
year.
While another separate PHP script goes through the customer's payment info
and make a format appropriate for the credit card network to process the
payment.
Depending on the response from the costumer's credit card network, additional
PHP scripts will then make a receipt about the purchase records. If
the transaction was approved, a final PHP script will send an email to the
ecommerce site owner telling them that the order has been placed.
Tax advantages are one of the best reasons why you should consider building
an ecommerce website, which you can't get from a brick-and- mortar selling.
An ecommerce site will qualify you for tax deductions and save more from
taxes compares in selling from a physical storefront.
Traditional business will oblige you to pay taxes from utilities, rent, and
mortgage bills as a cost of doing business, while online merchants can avoid all
those extra expense and still make a very good business.
Like in any other business the most important part is your customer's

2. satisfaction. You should always make your consumers feel comfortable and
safe from your website, for you to become more successful and benefit from
your ecommerce site.
Trying to get webhosting with eCommerce facilities? So many times when
trying to find a eCommerce solution it can be a difficult solution to find.
We have an option of buying a package, and hoping it will work with our web
hosting companies packages or getting a hosting eCommerce solution together.

get a web hosting eCommerce solution from a web designer. In this article we
will look at each option and see which one can benefit your needs most.
When you need a tailored system getting a eCommerce solution from a web
designer can be the greatest way to get the kind of website eCommerce
solution that you need for you business.
Though the costs can be high, you can fully know that the system in place is
the one that you want, and it is unique.
Website eCommerce packages from web designers can also benefit you in that
you can always go back and get extra features added, when you need it.
Choosing a web hosting eCommerce solution from a web designer can be a
great idea if you are serious about getting your business online. Also getting a
package from a web designer becomes more important if you plan to have
over 60% of sales online.
There are many options here, and listing them all is not an easy option to
make. There exists many packages on the market that allow you to set up web
hosting eCommerce easily on your existing small business web hosting
companies package.
These packages are designed with simplicity in mind. They are designed for the
layman to be able to easily create an online presence.
Actinic is one of the most famous of website eCommerce software packages. It
is designed with ease in mind, and allows anyone to create an online presence
at a much lower price than a custom solution from a web designer.
The big benefit also with this is that the level of support outmatches many web
designers level of support, if there is a problem you know it will get fixed
a.s.a.p.
A great way of getting an online solution is to get one from your hosting

and very likely much cheaper. You know that the solution will work with the
web hosting company.
The only thing to consider here is that many of the web hosting eCommerce
solutions from a small business web hosting company may be not what you
expected. They can sometimes be of low quality. Though shopping around you
may find what you need.
One last point that I want to go over is open source. I have personally used an
open source software (or rather a script). It runs on almost all small business
website hosting packages. OsCommerce is a leading open source eCommerce

3. solution. If you are wondering what open source is, it is a different model of
producing software.
It works with allowing people to add there input. In the end, everyone adds to
make the software the best it can be, and you get it free to use. The negatives
with this is that you have a lot of work cut out to make the package unique to
your needs, and add the extra feature scripts to make the website hosting
eCommerce solution how you need.
In fact a 5 year old very likely could install OsCommerce with Fantastico. It is
as simple as typing in your desired username, password, and name of your
site.
The process and activity of getting involved in business over the Internet is
known as ecommerce. As more and more people engage in online shopping,
popularity of eCommerce website design continues to increase as a major
economic activity around the world.
As a result of this trend, many companies are now establishing their online
presence and reaching a global market through eCommerce websites.
eCommerce website design aims to encourage online users to buy products
and to stay longer on a website and to spend more. It incorporates a relevant
and attractive business feel and look, reflects the businesses' philosophy and
vision, displays a professional design, has proper navigation and a well-
organized layout.
It also incorporates clear, market friendly content, and has a user-friendly
interface. An eCommerce website also includes a shopping cart and a simple
checkout. A professional gateway needs to be put into these websites to make
sure that online payments can be done smoothly and stress-free.
These websites must be designed with secured methods of payment to make
sure both the site owner and consumers have a valuable experience. Once a
consumer is finished purchasing from an eCommerce website, a number of PHP
scripts collect all the vital data about the customer's payment information,
shipping and billing address, and other important information that relates to
the purchase.
At the same time, a different PHP script analyses the consumer's payment
information and creates an appropriate format for a credit card online network
for payment processing. Extra PHP scripts will be generated to make receipts
and alert the website owner of the orders that have been made.
The designing of eCommerce websites is a very professional task based on
their functionalities and is not the task of lay web designers. To create and
design these types of websites, which will ultimately become profitable and
successful, requires a talented and professional eCommerce website designer.
If you are thinking of starting an eCommerce project or upgrade your current
eCommerce website, it is important that you hire a skilled and experienced
website designer who will work with you with the highest level of
professionalism and help you gain your website goals.
There are many advantages of eCommerce website design. One of the greatest

4. benefits is the tax advantage you get from owning an eCommerce
website that is not so with a physical business premises. The tax deductions
will enable you to save more money.
This is because you won't be paying certain taxes that arise from rent, utilities,
or mortgage bills. Another advantage is that the online presence will expose
your business and products to a global audience. Your market region won't be
restricted to where you live.
An eCommerce website allows you to add large amounts of products to your
catalogue. You can simply classify these products into the correct categories to
enable your customers to easily access the products they want.
Through an eCommerce web design, you can also enhance the awareness of
your products and brand to a global market. This will increase your brand
awareness, which is good for business.
Finally, you will be able to easily convey information about your company and
its products through the online platform. This will give your potential
customers an opportunity to know you and your products better.
Shopping on an ecommerce site can easily be done from the comfort of your
own home or anywhere that has internet availability. This also benefits the
seller, as they can easily add products displayed anytime of the day making
standard business hours irrelevant.
If you have a variety of products to sell, you won't need to worry because an
ecommerce site can make it easier for you. You can put them all in your
website but you should also consider placing them in the right product
category, and providing detailed description for each item to inform more
costumers on what you are selling.
Design is also important whenever you opt to place products in your website,
as it can greatly affect your consumer's impression about your website's
credibility and affect your sales as well.
Ecommerce websites are built with secured payment methods to benefit you
and your consumers. Once the customer is done shopping and purchased from
the ecommerce store, a series of PHP scripts gather all the important
information about the consumer's billing and shipping address, payment
information, and other relevant data about the purchase.
