GoDaddy used to have a shopping cart app. Little pricey .... But I can say they do give better than average service. It is not entirely turn key however they do have all the products such as SSL certs and Merchant accounts that can be plugged in which makes it a one stop shop. Much better than say oscommerce.

Then you have to deal with SSL Certificates, regulations on storing credit card information, agreement with banks/paypal/etc. for handling credit card transactions and if you're not willing to make the commitment to the time and energy to do it, use a web host that will do it all for you (i.e. godaddy.com) Craig --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss - - - - - - - Keith Smith - - - - - - - Improved Search Engine Ranking Travelingcheese.com/search_engine - - - - - - - --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.
