Psychotic_god Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Allright, Im having a website hosted. The purpose of the site is business, and Im trying to have it look as professional as possible during "checkout". I was recommened both 1and1.com and godaddy.com. Im having a site hosted on 1and1.com, but I was wondering if I should use 1and1 or if I should use godaddy for my business website. As always, thank you. ~Xsi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I have heard of godaddy, but not of 1and1.com my mom (a real technical soccer mom) and some of her friends have a website for my the Grand Blanc High School soccer team, which is hosted on domaindirect.com. She has said that it is nice and she has not encountered any problems with the site or the hosting. she uses frontpage to upload. if you want you can check it out http://www.grandblancsoccer.net/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
upok Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I have been with 1and1 for about a year and a half. I have not had any problems so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about problems or not, since this is going to be a business site (involving product sale), I want the "checkout" to look as professional as possible.

BoyBandsMustDie Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Meh, I have a casual site on godaddy and I think their service is allright. Not the best as I'm sure they are in it for the money (due to their popularity w. commercials). It's nice however, they call me every few months on number I gave them and they check and make sure everything is going good and see if I need any help. (although this usually ends with a "Are you sure you don't want to upgrade" kinda thing..) with my whole 2 hits a month, I don't think the servers can handle my site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The checkout has little to do with the host that you are hosting your site on. You can install your own checkout system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henbenley Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 CubeCart OS Commerce Zen Cart are a few different ones, alot of stores also use PayPal or Yahoo. The only problem with something like CubeCart, OS Commerce, or Zen Cart is that you will still need a credit card processor. All the shopping cart will do is take care of telling you who ordered what and give you their credit info, you still need someone to process that and give you the money. I would suggest using either PayPal or Yahoo because they have it all included. I use PayPal for alot of buying and selling on ebay and it works great for me and I can just transfer the money right into my bank account.
