Hosting your e-Commerce with HitNet.com offers many benefits:

 

Security and Data Protection

By implementing best practices for security, HitNet can ensure that your company's store data are safe from hackers. Outside access to databases is restricted and only the necessary ports are opened, thereby minimizing the chances of attack. We use firewalls and intrusion detection systems and monitor the packets in our network for any suspicious activity. This leads to an overall secure environment in which your customers can be comfortable to place credit card transactions without worrying about their information being compromised.

Site Uptime

We would like to emphasize that ensuring that your store is online is extremely important to us. Our networks are with Tier 1 bandwidth providers with redundant backup networks in case of failures. Bandwidth allotted to your store is clean bandwidth unlike that of other vendors who tend to distribute it among many customers. The store is also monitored on a 24-7-365 basis through our network monitoring tool, and an engineer is notified should your website experience any problems.

Low ongoing support and IT maintenance costs

You can use HitNet as the hosted ecommerce solution and save the expenses associated with supporting these applications. Our engineers are specifically trained for an environment like this. We want you to focus on your store rather than the actual deployment.

Flexibility & Scalability

Time is of importance when implementing an ecommerce store. Whether we implement an ecommerce store for you or host your existing online store, HitNet would like to assure you that your store will be set up quickly with minimal downtime. Dealing with different technologies and environments has given us ample experience in migrating store platforms in a short period of time thereby reducing the downtime in such a switchover.

Rapid deployment

Time is of key essence when implementing an ecommerce store. Sometimes, switching from providers brings the quintessential question to the store owner: Can the new service provider be able to set the store up quickly with minimal downtime? HitNet's answer is Yes. Dealing with different technologies and environments has given us ample experience in migrating store platforms in a short period of time thereby reducing the downtime in such a switchover.

Development & Site Maintenance

Even though HitNet may not have developed your store, we can definitely help you maintain the store in terms of upgrading or adding new features. Our development team can customize any ecommerce store platform, so talk to HitNet’s sales representative during the setup process about development and site maintenance options.

e-Commerce Hosting

Whether your business is looking to get a start in the realm of ecommerce or outgrow your current service provider, HitNet can provide solutions geared towards your requirements. We always listen to our customers, and our support is unmatched. We make sure that your ecommerce application is always online. Every minute that your online store is offline, you stand to lose money in terms of lost visitors, marketing expenses, and overall reputation.

Hosting ecommerce applications involves maintaining a network infrastructure that needs to keep the store online. Additionally, hosting ensures a secure environment to protect these stores from being compromised of their sensitive information. Ecommerce websites are especially vulnerable to attacks by hackers as they tend to deal with credit card and other personal information.
