Website Hosting

There are different levels of site hosting, depending upon your needs.

A lite package can now include your own domain name (URL). This package is great for a small business! Specifications are in the table below.
The business package is used for most sites. You may have your own domain name (URL) , more space and traffic than the lite site, POP mail accounts from your own domain name, and forms with this package.
The merchant package is for an e-commerce site, using 2checkout.com to process credit card payment. 2checkout is 3rd party, supplying secure gateway and credit, requiring a percentage of the sale as payment for their services. Great way to start out an online catalog, reducing high up front risk. If volume is high, you can then move up to the commerce package.
The commerce package is for an e-commerce site where there is a larger catalog of sales items, database driven, with a lot of traffic. Your site will need even more of the server's resources.
