Free Lifetime Server Support With our Lifetime Hosting Plan you never pay extra for server support. From help or instructions on setting up email, to configuring databases, it's yours for the asking! And that same quality support is also included free for our Monthly Hosting clients. We set up email accounts, sub-domains, ftp accounts, databases and more. And, of course, install the shopping cart of your choice.
We will also install SSL certificates at no charge.
At Small Business Hoster the words Free and Support go together like Tom and Jerry! Free Installation: Notice we say "Install", which is just put an "empty store" on your server. This includes no setup of the cart, or insertion of any images or inventory items. It is limited to the basic installation only.
We do offer several levels of setup and on-going upkeep of the shopping carts. See below for more information and pricing.
Initial Setup. We suggest you do this yourself, since there are many choices that YOU have to make.
If we should do it, we still have to get many answers from YOU. This includes such settings as shipping and taxes, your payment processor(s) and policies. We can only enter what you provide.
You will also have to provide an inventory list and images if you wish for us to install them. We will furnish you with a sample spreadsheet to use for the inventory.
Initial Setup includes setting up the cart and standard About Us / Contact Us / Policies Pages, if the pages are provided in a formatted manner. We do not Design your cart, we only Install what you provide. The same applies to "writing copy" for your carts. We will put whatever you send us in your Home and other pages, but we do not suggest what to say. Some Examples. This link will take you to a page listing a variety of available colors and formats for one of the carts we offer - AgoraCart. There are 17 different color choices, several ways you can change the header (or supply us with the image) and a number of different page designs, as far as how many items per page and the manner in which they are presented. We will set up any of these color / configurations under our Initial Setup plans. Or we will simply do a free install of the default BlueGreen cart and you can make changes on your own.

Small Business Hoster has 2 levels of support for shopping cart owners. Of course, none is required, it is totally optional. And there are very supportive forums available at all of the shopping carts' own websites. We use those forums ourselves. All support prices are in addition to any hosting charges. If you have Lifetime Hosting, then there would be no other charges. If you are a Monthly Hosting client, the hosting prices would still apply.
Additional Services.
While we do not do actual site design work, we can also modify colors and text styles on many of the stock templates. In addition, some of the carts offer a variety of display styles for showing your products. Here, too, we can be of help, should you wish us to give you a hand.
Due to the variation in the different shopping carts, it is impossible to set specific prices that work across the board. For the most part, our "custom services" run from $ 25.00 to $ 100.00 for complete installation and set up of the carts we offer. We suggest you send us an email with any specific questions you might have in this regard.
Website Design Keep in mind that all of the shopping carts come with an "out of the box" look that is perfectly acceptable. And they all have additional templates available to change the look, but not the operation of the carts themselves. Usually, there is a free template to suit most cart owners.
But, should you want your very own look and feel, it is available. At a cost, of course, as there are hours spent in designing websites. You can make arrangements on your own for this. We have no problem with that, but we do caution against what we refer to as "brother-in-law" websites. Nothing against brothers-in-law, we have some good ones. The term merely reflects a friend or family member who dabbles in websites. And they may be free. But they are usually worth what you pay for them.
There are plenty of freelance designers out there. We have one we use and recommend to you. But you are under no obligation to use her, you are free to use anyone you wish.
Jen Walter of JWDesignCenter is our favorite. She has designed sites for names you know - The Gap
and Old Navy among others.
Don't let the big names scare you. She is very reasonable and does all sorts of work. View a portion of her portfolio here - JWDesignCenter
You can contact her directly, or let us know you would like to discuss a project with her and we can make arrangements. Be sure and tell her it's for one of our carts, or sites, since she is familiar with what we offer.
Other Types of Sites
Since our main effort is supplying affordable shopping carts for online retailers, we sometimes overlook mentioning the fact that we can do just about anything you want done. With the exception of gambling and "adult" type sites. Forums, blogs, single sales pages, AdSense sites, affiliate pages and more. We can do it, or we can put you in touch with someone that can!
