Hi there,

Currently I use a normal windows hosting plan from a "non DNN professional provider" to host my Dnn website and I am intending to integrate  NB-store module to the website so that I can sell some stuffs on site. 

My question is that "do I need to upgrade the current hosting plan to a special hosting plan so that I can have my website e-commerce enable?"  

I am confused because when I look at some professional DNN hosting provider, they normally separate/dedicate hosting plan for  e-commerce DNN sites. So what is the difference between normal hosting plan for catalogue sites and the dedicated hosting plan for ecommerce sites?

Any one can suggest?

Cheers,

Timmy

Shared Hosting shared a Server with other users and applications, this can be critical if you have many visitors on your site.  Of cource you can start a e-commerce site also on shared Hosting, but be sure you have Access to SQL Server backup and your files, so it could be possible to Change to a other plan.

There are also some security aspects, about a Hosting plan can also be compromissed from outsite your application if any other application on an other Hosting plan have an security issue.  This is also a point to use a dedicated Server for ecommerce applications.

Thanks Matthias for your response. I would keep my current hosting plan for the site and integrate e-commerce functions into it then see how far the business can go later on. If it goes well I will change to the dedicated server plan.
Cheers,
Tim
