Web Hosting


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, most of you have read my post on my new site and many are not happy with my site. I have been trying for days to fix this and that. Most of it is because l have many problems with my hosting, including the piece of crap cart that i recieved. Who hosts you? I need a new host that has a shopping cart integrated into the site. I also need a host that offers a site builder, i have no experience with html. Thanks.

Hi SS,

I use http://www.startlogic.com/ . Their tech support is awesome including a 24/7 phone #, not just e-mail tech support. They do have web page builder, two types of shoppng carts: Agora and osCommerce. They also have a Paypal Cart plug in.

They are priced great also. I pay $50/yr and that includeds dealing with the URL. If oyu already have your URL/domain name, you may be able to get hooked up for less.

Sashbox for webhosting. 8.95/month on month to month and if you buy a yr it is 6.95. The basic level is more than enough for me at this point. Made misteak before of getting all kinds of stuff.. like disk space and email accounts.. that were never used. And then when I needed help there was no one. These guys are great.

Zencart is powerful and easy. Just add products. Change colors to make it fit your style. Easy to use, don't need to be a computer guru to make it work. Has real time shipping calculators. Can run sales. There are more features than I use right now.. but look forward to growing into it.

We use VodaHost for our website, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about them.

http://www.vodahost.com/partner/idevaffiliate.php?id=2599

For a business website, they charge $9.95 per month, and after being with them for almost 2 years, our site has had absolutely NO "down time".

They have a forum (VERY similar to this one) where you can get all kinds of help with everything from building your site, marketing, SEO, etc., to computer problems.

They also offer 2 different website builders (both great for HTML "dummies" like me. lol)

The first builder is BlueVoda, and it's an offline builder. I use it, and the sky is the limit with what you can do with it... design your own custom site (using basically drag and drop methods), or you can use templates that are very easy to work with. They offer several different shopping carts to choose from, and it all comes with the builder, which is free - you only pay for hosting.

The second builder is an online builder, and it's called SohoLaunch. I haven't personally used it (I prefer to work offline. lol) but everything I've read on it has sounded outstanding for ease of use, especially for an online store.

Anyhoo, I could go on for HOURS about VodaHost, but I sincerely recommend them to anyone who is interested in having a website... they truly are awesome.

I hope that helps! :D

I have to qudripple fripple Hand Craft Market http://www.handcraftmarket.com/

I love love love that my wholesale customers have their own login info and don't share some generic password. They each have their own login info which to me anyway is very professional others call it a pita but but they can go through their order history to see what they ordered the last time etc. I do that myself on some of my suppliers to make sure I'm getting what I ordered the last time.

I was a bit confused..okay maybe at a complete loss at first with uploading graphics etc but PA and GG helped me out..course I probably wouldn't would have had to bother either of them if I just read the instructions..lmao..yeah right instructions smuctions, who needs em??? lol..Very easy once you get used to it and coming from frontpage and publishing was a tad new to me..but I did it.:yay:
