osCommerce Installation

- Login into your cPanel account and click on the Fantastico icon at the bottom of the main page.

- Navigate to the “E-commerce” section and click on the “osCommerce” link.

- Next, click on the “New Installation” link.

- Now you must go through a multi-step process in order to define the installation location:

Step 1: Choose your domain from the provided drop-down menu.

Step 2: Enter the name of the directory where you want osCommerce to be installed.

Keep in mind that the “install in directory” field is the one part where several users make critical mistakes.  Enter a single phrase of the new folder that will be created for the osCommerce application.  If you try to add dashes, the installation will fail every time.

Step 3: Return back and double check the information you entered in the above field.  If you want your customers to access your store when visiting “http://yoursite.com,“ you would then leave the “Install in Directory” field blank.  On the other hand, if you already have an existing website, you want to enter a given directory name in that field.  For example, if you decide to use “store” as the name of the directory, customers would access your osCommerce store by visiting “http://yoursite.com/store”.

- After entering the required information for the installation destination, enter a user name and password for your osCommerce administrative area.

- Next, enter the name of your store, an owner name, and valid email address.

Activate SSL

Once you have the installation destination squared away, the proceeding steps are self explanatory.  The SSL process deserves a little more detailed explanation.

- Set the “Use SSL” option to”Yes”

- Enter the hostname for your secure server.

If you have a dedicated IP address and SSL certificate for your website, simply enter your domain name in the next field.  If not, just use the server name entered above.

- Choose the information you want to require from your customers.  You will see that these options are pretty straightforward and can be either set to “Yes or “No.”

- After entering the information, click on the “Install osCommerce” tab.

- Lastly, on the next page click “Finish installation”.

You have now successfully installed the osCommerce shopping cart program equipped with an SSL certificate for security.  Now all you have to do is the click the provided link or type the appropriate URL into your browser to log in and set up your online store.

While most of the web hosting providers will offer a control panel tool to enable easy management of your website and other resources, it is important to know that there are various kinds of such tool, and so, you need to be certain that what you have, or going to get has all the features that are vital. Here are some basic features of a good control panel to watch out for.

Getting started

If you are new to the panel, the system will take you through guided steps so as to familiarize with various functionalities in your website back-end. The wizard will take you through steps on how to manage your email accounts, create FTP programs, manage files and applications like databases, install scripts, tune up security features and view statistics, among other things.

Managing emails

One of the most common features you will be using is no doubt emails. Through a control panel, you will be able to create new email accounts, delete existing ones if needed, manage passwords for each account, manage forwarders, auto responders and email filtering system, among others.

File management system

In order to upload content to your web server for public access, you will need to either use web based file manager or an FTP client. If you choose to use an FTP client, then you will have to create FTP accounts with corresponding passwords and target folders. All these setting can be accessed through the control panel. You can as well fine tune security settings so as to make sure your FTP accounts are safe from hacking and intrusion.

Installing additional applications

Among the things you would want to do in your website is extending functionalities by installing third party applications and scripts. Through the control panel, it becomes quite easy to do so even with no deep technical knowledge. Depending on whether your website is on Linux or Windows hosting platform, you can easily install Shopping Carts, Forums software, Blogs, Content Management Systems, Counters and customer support applications, among others.

Viewing statistics

Getting some insights on how your website is performing is quite essential. Stats like bandwidth can help you to know whether your website is getting sufficient visitors or not. If you are on shared web hosting server, you may want to know uptime degree of the servers and if there are frequent outages. This will help you decide whether you need a dedicated plan or not.

Other things you may easily manage through control panel include domains, sub domains, security features such as IP deny and directory password protection, among others.

- “If you are experiencing a problem with your hosting, we are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.” – GoDaddy Support

That’s the first thing you’ll hear right now if you call GoDaddy Hosting Support – before you even get a menu of options. The one site I was hosting with GoDaddy will not be hosted with them anymore after today.

Recommended Hosting Company
(Better than GoDaddy)

• eHostPros.com – Starting at $1.99/mo; The only con your developer might point out is that they do not have phone customer support. Besides that they do provide 24×7 online support via chat and Helpdesk.
  

Ok – now back my rant: when a company the size of GoDaddy announces to every single customer who calls the support hotline that they’re having an issue with their hosting – that’s a big deal. You can bet that thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of website owners and administrators are none too pleased with the impact this has on them. Their websites are down. And they have to wait for GoDaddy Hosting to fix the issue. Period. The good news? There are other (better) options out there.

When you buy hosting you’re essentially renting space on a special computer (the host), where the files for your website will reside. The one thing you expect of the hosting company is that they will keep your site up and running. When they fail at that primary task – especially on a scale like this, and on a repeated basis, as with GoDaddy – it makes it clear that price is not the only factor in choosing a host. GoDaddy is cheap, but  not worth the down time and speed sacrifices versus other top notch hosts?

If you don’t have someone else making the decisions about hosting for you, consider these alternative hosting companies that get high marks. Don’t just go with GoDaddy because that’s where you bought your domain – you have options.

Their serves are located in Dallas, Texas (Softlayer DC), a large facility featuring state-of-the-art security, safety and cooling systems. The servers are constantly monitored by both Softlayer and eHostPros Staff ensuring they are up and working all the time.

Hosting plans

Depending on what you want, eHostPros offers shared, reseller, and vps hosting

Here are the details of the plans:

All plans include cPanel, Fantastico – 1-click-script-installer ( install bulletin boards, chat, forums phpbb, smf, shopping cart for e-commerce sites -zencart and many more scripts), CGI, PHP 5, MySQL, Ruby On Rails, SSH, Perl, Chilisoft ASP, Python, SSI , Cron, FrontPage, Curl, GD for Captcha (Visual Confirmation), 24/7 support. All features you will need.

When I signed with eHostPros I had the option to register domain with them, or to use my old domain which I did. Payment options were CC – Credit Card(Visa, MasterCard, Discover & AMEX), and PayPal.

Nothing is more important then reliability while searching for a web host. The host should assure at least 99% uptime to the user. If host is undependable, the sufferer will be client with losing the traffic at regular interval. One can check reliability of a particular host by going through reviews of people for that particular company. A user can easily accomplish it by going to different search engines. If opinions are positive about uptime then one can consider that particular host a dependable one, but one cannot come to actual conclusion without confirming it by own.

Another centered aspect is disk space. How can a user know about the actual amount of disk space required by him/her to fulfill the task? If one talk about a basic user his/her web site will be less than 7MB. If a user does not have a lot of workload then ample amount space is not a criterion. But, if one talk about the webmasters having huge sites and incorporating video, audio and large graphics in their site then enormous amount of space is demanded thing. Paying for space not in use is not a worth while deal. Thus if one requires more space he/she should search and check if the host offers an upgraded plan for him/her or not.

What can be the ideal amount of bandwidth for a particular user? For a beginner, not receiving an ample amount of traffic the basic bandwidth is quite sufficient, but using video, audio, and larger graphics demands bandwidth. One should start with the basic bandwidth and upgrade it as per requirement.

One should also keep in mind the features required while selecting a web host. These features can be –is there any requirement for the server side scripting like PHP, JSP, ASP or any other scripting language that the user want to use in his/her program or the user should check if he/she wants to use these with his/her web site. In addition one most important feature is CPanel, which the user must check in advance as well as it offers a user interface to applications on the server, such as setting up FTP, email, etc.

Thus one must act wisely while selecting a web host.
