Hey guys,

I am trying to add a shopping system to my website that has these options:

1. Primarily used for downloadable content (backgrounds, etc)
2. Accept PayPal as available and only payment option
3. Free to use (or open source)

I am using HostGator and their Fantastico comes with CubeCart, OS Commerce, and Zen Cart. They aren't really cutting it for me.

Do you have any suggestions? I don't mind having to download and upload using an FTP client and then doing my configuration from there.

Do you have asp.net support?

I heard Zen Shopping Cart is good, I've also bought from a shop that had that, and it seemed good. Don't know if it's free though, but I believe it is.

I am on a Linux server, so I do not have asp.net support.

I just spoke with HostGator support and I would need a Windows dedicated server and those run, at its cheapest, 174 bucks a month with HostGator. I am not yet willing to commit that much for a website.

=\ Darn.

Is that for a shared server? That seems extremely high.

I don't think so. They say dedicated.

thats not a bad price, but do you really have the traffic to warrant a dedicated server? Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just trying to save you some $$$.

That's the thing.. I do not want to pay more for my webhosting. I am fine not having my own dedicated server. And no, I do not get that kind of traffic. In the month or so that my site has been up, I have gotten 250 unique visitors and 2500 page views (majority of the views being mine since I check to make sure everything looks good). I do have several peopled who use the RSS feed though, which is nice to know and every time I post a new entry, I get about 10-15 new unique visitors. I just wish I could get more people to see my site but unless I somehow become a power user on Digg or StumbleUpon, I don't see myself generating too many hits, and I don't want to have to use a website like Piqq.us to cheat on getting Diggs/Stumbles..

I do the best I can on SEO, but you can only do so much.
