I need an e-commerce plan which is inexpensive but resourceful.
Do you think allwebnow.com is good for this goal?
Thai plan seems quite nice for me but I would like to hear your comments of them and maybe some other offers.

Not heard of allwebnow.com, but it sounds to me like your requirements may have some conflict: ecommerce sites and low cost hosting don't typically go well together. Many of the usually ecommerce scripts (magento/oscommerce etc.) are quite demanding on server resources and therefore the usual suspects who oversell like crazy will suspend your service quite quickly when your site receives a lot of traffic (and hence puts their server under strain).

If you're trying to start a new venture on a low budget then maybe you don't have any other choice, but otherwise if you're looking to find a new host for your existing site then it would help to know what the problems are you're currently facing. Often ecommerce sites benefit from the added security/stability of a VPS rather than using shared hosting (though "added security" only applies if the VPS is managed appropriately, which means using your own technical expertise or having someone else with appropriate skill handle that part for you).

I'm using Magento for my e-commerce business and tried cheap hosting - really bad results. After I decided to improve it my bounce rate decreased from 66% to 40-43%.

So the trade off is to have poor eCommerce software or to get more options with more expensive hosting... I prefer the second.

I do not know exactly of this provider, but i think youneed to be careful whjen с hooseing where to host, as the company has to be reliable and stable to make your business grow. I know fine conditions for eCommerce are created by the company called a2hosting.com, which I personally recommend.

I have looked through allwebnow.com e-commerce plans and should say they are feature-rich, they offer a free domain name with it.
Prices are quite affordable.
Support works fine.
Give them a try.

If you are still in search of reliable web hosting provider, I can advise you to check serverpoint.com web hosting plans as they are really resourceful and affordable. It has OsCommerce software, so I am sure that you will run your e-commerce web sites fast and efficiently. It has a forum and live chat where you will be able to ask any question you want - it is very convenient.

Think allwebnow.com is good for your purposes, the OP.
They provide e-commerce plans which contain many features that are so necessary for running e-stores in a profitable way.
Would like to draw your attention to e-commerce plans which simplehelix.com provides.
They support Magento on their servers and their services are affordable.

Don't sacrifice security and quality. It is not ideal to jump into affordable web hosts in which in the long run can lead to many problems such as web site accessibility and, worst, shutting down of web site.
As a matter of fact I suggest you to check espinda.com e-commerce hosting plan. This plan is optimum for anyone who has merchandise or services to sell.

never heard of this site, but if I were you, I would choose a more popular/established service providers...

I assume you need do your search for the plan according to the ecomerce web application you have. Maybe on the web site of the developer you might find the solution.

Allwebnow.com is quite a good company for hosting e-stores with them.
Prices are not high plus you may get a free domain name from them.
Plans have all necessary applications to run them smoothly.

I am sure that the truth comes out of comparison and as a matter of fact I can put forward a suggestion to have a look at serverpoint.com, webintellects.com and site5.com as these are the companies you can trust and which offer secure and cheap e-commerce web hosting plans with many useful features. It's up to you to choose the best host suitable for your needs.

I suppose you need to make your choice according your needs, not just because you was suggested with the company name. But if the suit you maybe that would be good idea o make the step ahead

I can't find any reviews about them but their prices look pretty steep.

~ServerPoint~ · #16 (**permalink**) 07-28-2009, 02:11 AM

I believe that would be better to get in touch with particular web hosting provider and ask them if they can handle what you need to

And once they tell you how much their servers can handle then post it here. That way you can find out from other people if that is true. Some hosts will tell you that they can handle more than they actually can so learn from others' mistakes before you signup with a host that is lying to you...
