Hosting with osCommerce

One of the most widely used shopping cart scripts out there is osCommerce.  It gives the shop owner an open-source online e-commerce solution.  You might have already known that, however did you know a number of our web hosting plans come with a way to get it installed in a single click?  Lunarpages is a great provider of osCommerce web hosting.

You can easily install the osCommerce script by doing so in cPanel’s Fantastico, LPCP’s WebApps or by downloading it and installing it manually.  The manual install option might be tedious to some.  That is why I am so excited to see we can give you an easier way to install from the cPanel or LPCP control panels.

Can you extend osCommerce? Yes, you can.  This e-commerce hosting script supports add-ons.  Add-ons are extra scripts and services you can install to give your e-commerce business extra tools, a new appearance, or a number of new features the basic script does not provide.

The official osCommerce web site delivers multiple ways to try the script or see web sites using the script.

• Visit the Demonstrations page for online demonstrations.
• Visit the Live Shops Directory site for a list of worldwide online shops powered by osCommerce.

osCommerce is a great feature rich tool, which provides out-of-the-box shopping cart functionality and style.  If you are looking for the perfect osCommerce hosting plan, you might check out the extra benefits the Business hosting plan offers.
