    Beginner in Ecommerce Hosting

    We recently started hosting a few ecommerce websites. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or warnings, things to look out for. As far as security, etc. Is it much different then just hosting regular websites?

    There's a few differences,
    Mainly you want to really offer fast support, with first call resolution.

    As well as this, keep your servers secure and clean.

    Get a SSL to protect your website and your e- commerce cart.
    It is win win situation so don't save cost on it.
    You let your website secure, your client also confidence to make the payment.

    Make sure your sites can pass a PCI Scan. In addition, tell your customers not to store credit card data in their shopping cart software. Many of the open source shopping carts (Magento, VirtueMart, osCommerce, Zen cart, Ubercart, etc) allows the merchant to use free payment modules for PCI certified payment gateways.
