Web hosting provider BuyHTTP, LLC (http://www.buyhttp.com) is offering specialty ecommerce hosting packages, the company announced today. The shared, reseller, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting specialist hopes to reach a wider assortment of small to medium-sized businesses with their new packages.
BuyHTTP has previously offered ecommerce services to select customers, but the company has never specifically advertised or promoted ecommerce offerings. The company’s new packages focus on support for the VirtueMart shopping cart system and the Joomla! content management system (CMS).
“As increasing numbers of small- to medium-sized businesses move toward web-based sales platforms, there will be a heightened demand for specialty ecommerce hosting solutions,” said BuyHTTP’s owner, Mr. Doyle Lewis. “And by focusing heavily on support of integrated ecommerce applications, like shopping carts, SSL certificates, and content management systems, in addition to hosting, we have developed a distinctive edge over our competitors.”
Customers ordering an ecommerce package, a shopping cart and integrated content management system from BuyHTTP receive installation free of charge and future upgrades and software patches are added by BuyHTTP staff. “To encourage small businesses to embrace the Internet as a sales tool, it is important to understand their historical barriers to entry—one of which is a lack of technical expertise. We’ve been able to conquer this barrier by completely eliminating the component of web design and development; the only thing our customers need to do is run their business,” concluded Mr. Lewis.
