InMotion Evaluation
- New to E-Commerce
If you have never
made a website before you will probably want to start with a builder
that has an integrated shopping cart. With InMotion's website builder
you cart will automatically have your sites look and feel. It lets you
organize your products easily by category, assign inventory levels, and
add product attributes like colors. It also allows full merchant
account integration with popular merchants such as PayPal, Authorize.Net
and 2checkout.com.
If you are thinking about more than maybe 20 to 25 products, it can be
done, but the layout is more difficult to manage. You may want to
consider one of the shopping carts below. - Intermediate to Advanced
Intermediate to Advanced - InMotion's packages support a lot of the most popular shopping carts by default.
New E-commerce Site
InMotion's business class hosting comes with an easy auto installer. The carts available are OSCommerce, ZenCart and CubeCart.
Moderate to High Volume
High traffic sites usually require a vps or dedicated server. In some
cases, your merchant account provider will probably require a vps or
dedicated for compliance reasons. Since InMotion sets up their vps and
dedicated servers like their shared hosting it is easier to get your
shopping cart installed. If you need the auto-installer you may need to
pay for it, check with them.
Popular Carts
All the business class, vps, and dedicated servers support PHP, Perl,
and MySQL and the following carts can be installed relatively easily:
- Magneto
- Zen Cart
- X-Cart
- AgoraCart
- Cube Cart
- Lite Commerce
- Ubercart
- OS Commerce
- ShopSite
If you are new, keep in mind that hosting companies do not usually give
support for third party software. We have found, particularly if you
are understanding of the time it takes, InMotion is one of the few who
will at least guide you in the right direction.
