I have been looking and looking and have decided to go with cubecart.
Thats one decision out of the way. Now... WHICH HOST????

But as part of my selection process, my question to the group is...

Does the Host have to offer cubecart as one of its ecommerce options?

There are many host out there and many that say they offer oscommerce or agoracart, etc. And of course, there are many that offer cubecart (eg Lunarpages).

If the host does not offer cubecart, can I still go with that host if I choose to, and then download cubecart from here and install it on that host???

If I can then I have a full range of choices of hosts. If not, or if it is just going to be too difficult, then my choices of hosts are narrowed down some what.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Actually...the hosts offer Fantastico....it is FAntastico that offers the cubecart pacakge.
And just because Fantastico does not offer it...does not mean you can't use it...........its YOUR site. You can put whatever you want up there subject to the terms of use of the host.
If a host won;t LET you use cubecart....................get a different host.

thanks twisted!!!

i figured this is how it should be, but i needed to hear ot from someone...

ok now i can select a host ..... wish me luck!

Luck!


P.S. I offer hosting. VERY reasonable rate...

So long as your host provides you with a MySWQ database, php and some webspace then you're away.

A MYSQL database???
I'll START you with 50 on a basic account.

Minimum requirements Twisted, minimum requrements.

Besides which I doubt the majority of store owners don't even need more than one database. Though when we come to renewing hosting for EllisModels.com I'll be sure to check out what you're offering.
