I am using the following IX Web Hosting review of how to put up an online store/shopping cart for my own site, but I’ll also share it with you. As your own IxWebhosting site grows you will probably be looking for how to set up ecommerce on your small business site that accepts credit cards like Visa, Mastercard and also PayPal. Although we’re assuming you are you already signed up for an IX Web Hosting plan, you actually can set up an online store with any affordable web hosting plan that has PHP scripts and MYSQL databases.
IX Web Hosting Commerce Set-Up
1. Have a IXWebHosting web hosting package in place.
2. Google and download the free shopping cart script from oscommerce.
3. Using an FTP client like Filezilla or IXWebHosting file manager, upload oscommerce shopping cart script to your ix web hosting server.
4. Go to php.ini settings located in root and ensure it is set to “register_globals = on”.
5. Sign into the IxWebHosting control panel (H-Sphere) and create a new MYSQL database
6. Begin the oscommerce install by navigating to the folder (yourdomain.com/store) and let the installating program guide you the rest of the way.
7. Enjoy your IXWebHosting shopping cart and online store!
