Nothing is more important than uptime during peak season. Fortunately, web technologies have put high-availability architectures within reach of small and medium-sized e-commerce business. No matter your size, the ideal solution is within your reach.

If you’re ready for a more robust solution, cloud-hosted Magento is a great idea for companies that plan to self-host their website. Shopify and BigCommerce are hosted shopping carts that are both powerful and easy to use. All three of these options provide speed and reliability. Your preference for customization is the greatest deciding factor in deciding whether to host your own store or use a hosted solution.

If you host your own store, you can customize the website to meet your specific needs. However, most hosted solutions limit the ways in which you can edit the look and feel of your website. What hosted solutions lack in flexibility, they make up in cost. Hosted solutions tend to be far less expensive and even more reliable than their self-hosted counterparts.
