Which Host Pt 2
ReMan - 11/7/12 at 06:31 PM

Well I've chosen a (available ) domain name and looking to order it.
That took weeks!
And I think I,ve learnt a bit on the way.

My want list has now grown and I want also want to be able to host a small e-shop.

Some of the providers seem to want to do this as a separate and paid for option (around £9.99 mth).
This is too much for me at this point on top of the web hosting, I'm looking for something with a bit more flexibility whist I get some practice in.

Has anyone any experience of eshoppy ?

They seem to be offering a good package with e-shop tools for a good price?

Of course any other opinions advice beyond that you already have is always welcome

i would just look at the free e-commerce stuff that comes with most hosting packages e.g. http://orchardhosting.com/auto-install-scripts (and go to e-commerce) shows a long list of FREE e-commerce programs that you can play about with to your hearts content without having to pay a monthly charge.

That this is all new to me was why I had no idea that "auto install script" had anything to do with an e-shop!
And Orchard don't seem to mention it or push it.

So thanks again, Orchard it is!

Orchard aren't about loads of fancy advertising etc. It's pretty straightforward type of company who tend to get a lot of trade from recommendations.

If you do have any questions, just drop them an email, someone will get back to you quite quickly. Or feel free to drop me a u2u if you have any other questions or want my number to just chat things through.
