I want to setup a simple ecommerce site with a shopping cart and credit card purchases. I asked IX Webhosting about this and they told me they provided this service with their hosting plans. They said all I needed was a merchant account and my site can be created and maintained via their control panel. IX Webhosting has inexpensive hosting, about $7.00/mo for what I need. My question is: how well do these bundled ecommerce solutions work? Should I instead buy hosting software? There seems to be a wide range in prices for hosting software solutions. How much difference is there between a $60/mo solution v.s. a one-time software purchase? TIA.
