Ecommerce Website Hosting
Ecommerce website hosting is a viable alternative for the
small business websites who are not capable of managing hosting their
own websites, hiring right server space or owning their own servers. The
maintenance price tag is not too friendly either. However, care must be
taken to select the right company for ecommerce website hosting. Selecting
the right company for ecommerce website hosting easy with Excellone Web
Solutions Development Company, India and Rackspace. Quality ecommerce
website hosting depends on security, scalability, bandwidth etc; therefore
there is need for caution vis-à-vis ecommerce web hosting
Companies specializing in web hosting abound in plenty, and
enable even the smallest e-business to gain an online presence quickly
and inexpensively. But as an online business, one has a number of special
needs unlike a person running a personal home page. As far as ecommerce
website hosting companies are concerned, there is need for caution.
You need a host with bandwidth to spare. Bandwidth is important
for ecommerce websites. Your best bet is to find a provider with a minimum
of one T-3 (45 mbps) line connection to the Internet's backbone, or to
an "upstream" provider. This is 28 times faster than the T-1s used by
many smaller providers. It will help to know what percentage of their
bandwidth is being utilized by existing demands on the system. The average
bandwidth utilization should not be greater than 30 percent of the available
total, and peak bandwidth should be no greater than 60-70 percent. Beyond
that level, performance across the network begins to deteriorate. Many
hosting companies connect to larger Internet connectivity providers, running
a commercial phone line "upstream" to the larger company, who in turn
might be running a connection to yet another "upstream" provider. The
further "downstream" the provider is, the more the chances are for things
to go wrong.
A "hop" refers to each server or router location Internet
traffic must travel through before continuing on to its destination. Ideally,
it is better to have a host with few hops - or whose machines actually
sit on the Internet backbone itself. Companies cannot be judged based
on size - even small companies can pay to "co-locate" their computers
at a site that feeds directly.
Ensure that the chosen host is using top-of-the-line hardware,
preferably multi-processor server machines. In fact, many of the best
Web hosts build their own equipment. The host should have multi-homed
Internet connections. Hard drives should be backed up daily and one should
have access to them at any time. The host must have a back-up uninterruptible
power supply onsite, like a generator, that is programmed to kick in immediately
in the event of any power failure or flicker. Most hosting packages start
at 25 MB of hard disk space - enough for 500 typical Web pages. But the
important thing is to inquire about the ability to easily increase one's
disk allocation.
More About Ecommerce Webhosting
Many ecommerce hosts incorporate easy-to-use software for
building online catalogs, which enable one to maintain the storefront
without the need of an outside developer. The current standard for the
security of online transactions is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
This protocol encrypts the transaction data as it passes over the Internet.
However, a digital certificate is needed to verify the merchant's identity.
It is better to obtain one's own certificate from one of the largest and
most widely supported issuing authorities like VeriSign. Verisign's pricing
schedule is somewhat higher but a larger number supports the VeriSign
certificate.
To accept credit cards online, the service of a payment processor
must be acquired. A payment processing service handles credit card transactions
between a web business and merchant account in real time. One's payment
processor choice will depend on the shopping cart solution chosen, since
most have at least one payment processing component built in. it must
be checked with the merchant bank, as it may have relationships with one
or more of the above processors.
It is important to apply for a merchant account on one's
own, as it is a must for any business accepting credit cards. Many site
owners will want to feed data from their Websites directly to their existing
accounting, inventory and consumer database systems. A top-shelf host
will offer some degree of integration assistance. While one might not
consider this an important issue as the site is started, if one succeeds
in building a business online, integration of the systems will become
a significant issue; so inquire about the scalability and service potential
customers. Ecommerce website hosting depends on selecting the right company
and as far as ecommerce website hosting companies are concerned bandwidth
is very important.
