You might check out osCommerce and all the contributions. You can find any contribution it seems that will be able to help you.

Hi Corey,by using osCommerce, its asks whether i need a linux or a windows verion, is this referring to the DOS of my Web host?

If you want to try out OS Commerce, I would recommend you use a linux hosting account with Cpanel installed. It can install OS Commerce automatically.

I would also look at x-cart and litecommerce. Both are written by a Russian company but you really do get great value for money. Their support is first class and their charges are very reasonable for custom work.

fantastic can you recommend any webhosts with CPanel installed?

Yes - I was referring to the operating system of your server.

You can download osCommerce from their website. Most hosting companies have some type of shopping cart and even some resellers for merchant accounts.

I hope I'm not violating TOS by posting this. I use MoonSoft Systems for my hosting.

I found them on ebay. They updated their servers this fall, and I've been experiencing 100% uptime since then.

I think this is just a reseller, but I don't know for sure. Their website is a little rough around the edges, but I have no complaints.

They offer cpanel and fantastico. I pay under $4 per month, and their high-end plan is about $8 per month.
