Establishing a presence on the Internet requires a unique domain name that is both registered and hosted.

 

The price of setting up an e-commerce site often suprises new online business owners. However, if looked at as a real business (which it is), the costs associated with running an online store are relatively inexpensive as compared to a physical storefront business.

There are three requirements for an ecommerce site:

• Registered domain name
• Shopping cart
• Merchant Account
• optionally, SSL site certificate

 

SSL Site Certificates

SSL certificates have a calming psychological effect and they make (yes, actually make) people want to buy from your website. This is because we have been taught to believe that a site secured by SSL is safe to shop.

Now the truth:

SSL certificates do provide an extra layer of security when performing online transactions. They do not however make a site safe to shop.

SSL certificates are oftentimes considered optional, but if you run an ecommerce site be prepared to add one to the shopping list. An ecommerce without a SSL certificate will most likely be a very lonely ecommerce site.
