Frequently Asked Questions
We already have a web site. Can we just add e-commerce?
The quick answer is yes. However, we offer a web site solution that is more cost-effective than adding a shopping cart to an existing web site and includes eCommerce capabilities already enabled by default. More>>
How much storage space do you provide for my Website?
On average, Web sites use between 10 and 20 MB of space. 500 MB our minimum space is enough space to store an e-commerce Web site with thousands of products, hundreds of images, and pages upon pages of text.
Can we have www.ourname.com as our address?
Yes, many of our users do. Your web site includes an easy domain manager tool, located in the Tools section in your active online control panel, that lets you register your domain name (ourname.com). If you already have a domain name, you can use the tool to transfer it.
We don't have a merchant account yet. Can you help us get one?
Yes, we have several sources for online merchant accounts. Call us for assistance!
