eCommerce hosting is a space provided by hosting companies for hosting your online store on a server that has the platform and application to build virtual storefronts and online shopping carts, to manage orders, and with payment systems to complete transactions. Propellerhead Hosting provides eCommerce hosting plans with high-end storage discs, RAM, and processors to seed up your store; as well as pre-installed applications ( apps ) to help you get started.

A shopping cart is an internet based system used by e-commerce websites that simplifies online transactions. Shopping carts allow online shoppers to temporarily store items of interest in it until they are ready to purchase them. The shopping cart software automatically computes the cost of the selected items, provides a portal for the customer to pay for them and allows them to provide other pertinent information necessary to complete the transaction. Quality shopping cart software is necessary to build and manage a successful and professional e-store.

We're Reliable!

Choose a host you can depend on. Think of all the time and effort that goes into building and maintaining an eCommerce site. You deserve every sale that the site generates. If your site goes down because of your host, that's lost opportunity and more importantly you're missing out on revenue that you have worked hard for. Don't choose a host who uses unreliable networks with old hardware loaded down with customers. Choose Propellerhead Hosting where your eCommerce site will be hosted on a reliable server backed by our 99% uptime commitment.

We Are Ecommerce, Not Just an Ecommerce Host

We helped write a chapter in the ecommerce book of life. Our ecommerce shopping cart software has been used by hundreds of thousands of online stores since 2001. And we built the type of hosting our users needed, that was reliable and would not easily violate a hosting company's terms of service if heavy use was experienced during a promotion or sales season.

So choose a hosting company that knows ecommerce inside and out, not just the equipment and networks. We know what you need from software development, to marketing, to reliability and speed, to payment processing, to order management and logistics. We are ecommerce right down to the very fiber of our operations and founding. Choose Propellerhead Hosting for your ecommerce hosting needs!

The Nifty E Blade ecommerce web hosting plan is a combination of ecommerce hosting and a credit card payment processing gateway, all rolled up into one bundle (but with separate signup processes). The ecommerce hosting account billing is free after the initial setup fee. It requires a NiftyPay+ payment processing gateway account. This is a great value compared to keeping the pieces separate.

When you signup with us, we reserve a hosting account for you until the setup process is complete at NiftyPay. The steps are as follows:

1. Sign up for hosting account and fill out a simple form with intial information about your payment processing needs. Only a small one-time setup fee to us is made at this step.
2. We forward that initial information to a credit card merchant account (CCMA) professional that answers any questions and helps you with the banking details and forms needed to process Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and/or American Express credit card payments.
3. Once the CCMA issuing bank issues you an MID (a merchant account identifier), your monthly automatic payment details are setup and your NiftyPay+ account is activated and billed for the first month by NiftyPay. Note that any CCMA related fees are automatically charged by the issuing bank/provider each month and performed separately from us and NiftyPay.
4. Your hosting account is also setup and you are emailed details for your new account, including logins and other important information.
5. You can then setup your ecommerce website, and start selling.
6. The following month, you are billed by NiftyPay for your NiftyPay+ account, any additional NiftyPay addons and services, as well as any per transaction fees for the previous month generated from your NiftyPay+ account. No further billing for the base NiftyPay E Blade account comes from us going forward.

If you wish to add additional products from Propellerhead Hosting, such as Marketgoo, NordVPN, OX Productivity Suite, etc; you can add those to your account from within our client portal. Those will be billed directly by us.

Note: if you cancel your Niftypay+ account in the future, your hosting account will convert to a regular "E Blade" account and normal hosting rates will apply.
