e-Commerce

We strive to deliver e-Commerce solutions that make business sense. If you are an existing hosting customer and would like to add e-Commerce to your system yourself, or would simply like to explore features and prices, click on the links below.

Over the years, we have found that e-Commerce as such does not normally pay for itself. It is a rare business that makes it entirely online. We do not recommend a strict e-Commerce solution for most clients. However, we *can* do it. We offer a number of different solutions, including the provision of Merchant accounts and payment gateways.

Like our hosting, pricing is competitive and we pledge to keep it that way for as long as your site is hosted with us. For instance, you can set up your own e-Commerce site using pre-packaged products on our servers. Products available depend upon the type of server and the data center. They include:

Some of the products are commercial and some are free and/or open source. Unless you have significant sales by telephone already, it is difficult to justify the expense of setting up an online shop and maintaining it while you build a business.

Over the years, we have explored many different solutions. The one that we favor for small businesses that do not have an existing Merchant Account is PayPal. It allows you to accept credit cards, PayPal and other forms of payment and the setup cost is limited to time for setting up the account and then transaction costs that are similar to those of proper online Merchant Accounts.

PayPal

PayPal is the solution currently used by HushServer for most of its own on-line sales. PayPal offers secure credit-card processing for very low fees and is simple to set up and use. You can use the link below to order hosting for a small business right now.

Here is a page that integrates PayPal. You can order a site here:

Free e-Commerce Solutions

It is possible to find various free solutions on the Internet from time to time. Here is an example configured for the Original HushServer site HushServer Sample Shopping Cart.

Commercial e-Commerce Solutions

We were signed as an affiliate with Kurant Corporation and were able to offer their StoreSense product. Since we began with them, they were purchased and now are owned by a company that is owned by Ebay. The old links go directly to 'ProStores' now. One link is left below to show the current product. We no longer work with these types of companies, since they have proven to be less than reliable.
