Resources

We recommend the following companies for your online store or small business website:



For your Ecommerce:

shopping cart, 3dcart, ecommerce
3DCart

Shopping Carts from 3dCart are complete e-commerce storefront solutions for your new or existing web site. Easily maintain your online shop and collect orders without any programming or HTML knowledge!

For your Web Hosting:

Here are two we recommend. We also use Godaddy a lot, but they don't don't have a control panel with an easy backup method. These others have a 1-click backup feature.


HostMonster

Simple Control Panel for managing and backing up your site.
REAL 24/7 Non-outsourced support with average hold times less than 2 minutes.

For an eCommerce site, make sure you order an SSL certificate.


NEXCESS.NET

Looking for affordable web hosting? They have great plans starting as low as $6.95/month, with a FREE domain name and a thirty day money back guarantee!

Interested in switching web hosts but not sure how? Nexcess.net can move you over with ZERO downtime and for FREE.

For an eCommerce site, make sure you order an SSL certificate.




For your Domain Names:


Simple Online Solutions


If you want to go with a small business, I recommend Simple Online Solutions. I have purchased domains from them since 2003. www.simpleurl.com


For your Order Fulfillment:

What is Shipwire?

Shipwire is a leading order fulfillment service that allows you to store merchandise in massive East and West Coast warehouses in the U.S. and Toronto, Canada. Shipwire can easily be connected to your shopping cart or payment solution. As customers order from your online store, Shipwire will pack and ship it for you. It is that simple.

Why do I need Shipwire?

Grow your business and save yourself a lot of headaches. Without an order fulfillment service you must work long hours or hire employees to manage order fulfillment, packaging and inventory receiving. That takes a lot of time and money. Instead, focus on growing your business, and let Shipwire handle storage and shipping.
