here we go..my initial requirements as follows:

100-200MB space
<1Gb per month traffic
eCommerce: osCommerce or ZenCart with the above modules + Paypal (included with ZC 1.3.7) & eway payment modules
sitebuilder+templates+other usual stuff included in eCommerce package

ability to increase disk space & bandwidth should the business grow faster
than expected (unlikely)

quotes to xbuilder@yahoo.com

pls include
* how many years you have been in the game
* very brief description of your gear & net. connection, datacentre phys. location (State/suburb) uptime etc
* any happy customers/reference sites (ecommerce only please)
* charges for extra traffic/disk space
* ping roundtrip to eway and paypal processing gateways

NB: I have a sys. admin background - just dont have time to stuff around with collocation - so I can be very anal and unforgiving when host provider stuffs up and things go pear shape

Hello xbuilder,

Zen Carts and Site builders - do not go together. (at least notmine )
Is that what you are after ?

Is the Ecommerce shop going to be the site or is it secondary to the main content ?

Brad

drop SiteBuilders, the shop will be the site

forgot to add..looking for a provider who knows his eCommerce stuff, the shop will be operated by my missus, if things dont work she'll bug me and I hate being bugged

btw - which is better for a medium size electronics gadget e-shop osCommerce or ZC?

Why not use my LoadedAU release of osCommerce. Everything is pre-installed and ready to go

http://www.snowtech.com.au

We can provide hosting packages and free installation of the script, plus a personal level of support, given that i am the developer behind a lot of the modules

I've just looked at your site and it says it's been hacked... this isnt good advertising!!

I've just called the sales number and let them know he said he'll get in touch with you

Hmmm .. osCommerce installation what do you expect.

in general osCommerce doesnt appear to be weaker than any other system, I recall seeing a couple of cross-scripting and SQL injection vulnerabilities in 2006, but they all should have been patched up if the site admin wants to keep his users

a decent server lockdown + regular patching + a well configured firewall should have keep the script kiddies away..agree it isnt good advertising

When you really look at the software design of OSC its much different then what it appears to be.

- The development style is not structured as well as it could be (im being nice here) no real template engine, no db interface for proper portability, the list here doesn't end. The only way is by patching such subsystems. A lot of things like this could of been made to be modular. Nows its the microsoft issue of having to retrace their steps to fix things.
- When a concept like "register_globals" had become a concern the developers made it difficult more then anything to have such a facility patched, even now its causing headaches because php is attempting to drive globals out of programming. And if you want to run a secure PHP / Apache system enabling phpsuexec and disabling globals is important, OSC didnt really think so.
- Customization is awful, it could be done millions upon millions times better going back to having a decent template engine
- Exploits released in the past a few of them were not minor, for instance enabling people to inject code that would be included in "require_once" statements. Maybe thats how the above site was hacked.

My advice is if your going to use it back up what you do, don't store credit cards in the db and make it so you can regularly upgrade your OSC, which after you customise it usually is a time consuming toe stubbing exercise.

A good program should never rely on server security. Even though it should be an important concern, defective by design they call it.

BTW I have over 4 years of OSC experience, i could show you my portfolio if your interested
