| X-Cart Web Hosting Plan |
 |
|
X-Cart web hosting from HostW3 is a great way to ensure your
ecommerce website will get the speed and reliability that
it demands. X-Cart Gold uses Smarty PHP technology and SQL
database to deliver an 'out-of-the-box' ecommerce solution
and a powerful customizable store builder. Designed for small,
medium and large ecommerce websites. With its intuitive interface
and optimized programming code X-Cart can handle up to 20,000
products. Some of the most important problems that owners
of the 'out-of-the-box' shopping carts usually face can be
described by a set of simple questions:
- "Can this solution reflect all edges
of my business?"
- "Will it integrate with my existing
site?"
- "What can be done to make my online
shop support a special functionality?"
Different shopping carts deal
with these problems in different ways. There is no universal
ecommerce software that would work 100% in every case without
modification, but X-Cart does have the best concept that helps
provide our clients with an optimal solution for most of their
ecommerce projects.
Here's an actual unsolicited customer email from another satisfied
HostW3 XCart user.
| To Whom It May Concern at HostW3:
I would like you to know how happy I am that I found
your company. After struggling with HalfPrice Hosting
for well over a month, during which I was contacting
x-cart support (in Russia) every-other day, I couldn't
get access to the admin area of x-cart, and I still
couldn't access our database, I was very discouraged.
HalfPrice finally threw up their hands, and advised
me that I had to get a developer to fix the situation
(after I had already paid them for development services).
Needless to say, when I found Joseph and HostW3 I was
cautiously optimistic. Our first phone conversation
reassured me that he truly was fluent in "x-cart",
and he even volunteered to backup the database for me.
I have about a bazillion email addresses, that he also
set up with no problem. My existing SSL wouldn't transfer,
so Joseph set up a new for us, again no problem. I was
able to get into our "new" site and test all
the pages, order products through Linkpoint and Paypal,
just worked beautifully.
We're now very close to going "live", and
Joseph is reloading all of our pages and database to
capture all changes since we began the migration. This
is HUGE for an on-line store, with orders and inventory
and such. Throughout the process, Joseph and your team
have been timely, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful.
It has been a pleasure doing business with HostW3, so
much so that we decided to set up another site for a
wholesale product that we offer.
In conclusion, I will recommend HostW3 to anyone searching
for a quality provider at a fair price.
Thank you so much,
Kathy Weston
