Web
Hosting
Tips
Do
you
have a domain website hosting account with
us? If so, you'll want to check this section for handy tips
to
help make your website standout from the crowd. Sometimes
we'll
give tips about working with your Plesk Control Panel.
So You Want to Sell Online and Have Your Own Shopping Cart? Then
use osCommerce instead of spending hundreds of dollars for shopping
cart software. All of our hosting accounts come with the
capability to install osCommerce with just a couple of mouse clicks
from within your account's Plesk Control Panel. Just click on the
"Application Vault" icon and then click the "Add New Application" icon.
Select "osCommerce" from the list and click the "Install" link.
While
you can still install osCommerce if you have one of our regular
hosting accounts, you'll need to consider upgrading to our "Pro"
account which will allow you to install an SSL certificate so your site
will show up as secured for your customers to place online orders.
Check the following links for additional information...

Please
note that along with osCommerce, there are many other applications
listed in your Plesk Control Panel Application Vault that are available
to you for free. We decided to make them all available for free because
they are all open-source applications and provide "best effort" support
for each of them. This means that if you install any of them, you
are primarily responsible for learning how to use them. If you have any
questions we will try our best to point you into the right direction.
