What is an e-commerce hosting?
Before we answer these intelligent question, let Miss Sansan explain to the class what e-commerce hosting really is.
What is an e-commerce hosting?
Here are a few disadvantages of a free or low-cost e-commerce web hosting........
Ads Free hosts will always force to show advertisements because that’s where their money source. Sure it’s OK for a while. But what happens when often those ads are specific targeted ads that is actually the other competitor business’s ads?? Which means that it could actually resulting in lost in customer…like…forever. No one wants risk like that.
Reliability “You get what you pay” What if you don’t pay?? WHAT WILL YOU GET??? Get my point? Uptime is very important in ecommerce since time is money and if the business’s website could not be accesses because the host e-commerce provider is offline, the value of lost sale will be great. If the provider host is down for hours, days, weeks, months…wheew opportunity lost. Free e-commerce hosting is not recommended in its reliability.
The Technology Free or low-cost e-commerce hosting tends to use use-up old technology rather that advance expensive new technology as on a well-paid e-commerce host. This means it can be very less effective and not so reliable because of the poor functionality provided. Which in these days, we really need to rely on fast advance technology because it is why in the first place we choose to built e-commerce!
Usually Technically Unsupported Since it is free, no payment required, or very low-cost host the biggest disadvantages is in the lack of technical support because the host could not afford it either. Little, or worse - none, technical support is always not a good plan for a long-term period in the business world, especially at some point wrong things are bound to happen – Hello! We’re talking about man-made technology, and mistakes do happen. The risk is to great, with those unexpected technical mistakes happening business could not compete with its other competitors or peers.
