All of your classified business data is safely located in our secure data center. At the data center, we provide the hosting of your Shopping Cart Elite software and website. The data center enables you to set restrictive permissions for a variety of aspects. Let's say your employee wants to modify the company's business data or administrative settings. The data center allows you to restrict when and where this employee is permitted to log into your back office to perform these functions. Additionally, your customers also communicate with our data center to see your website content and products. While your business operates, Shopping Cart Elite provides your website and back office with the speedy and reliable hosting your business deserves.

Look, it's no secret. We're living in a world choc-full of instability and unpredictable circumstances. Shopping Cart Elite's data center, however, was designed to relieve you of that pressure. In order to prevent any of those interruptions from affecting your business, we have fully equipped ourselves with state-of-the-art hardware, firewalls, off-site backups, and security monitoring and backup; all encapsulated in a fireproof environment. As you can tell, reliable security is a prime objective we have strived hard to achieve.

Shopping Cart Elite's back office easily enables you to make a variety of modifications. Once this data is securely saved to our data center, you can thereby allow multiple-users to view those changes. For example, a co-worker, working from another location, can see the modifications you made in the back office, simply because both of you are communicating with the main data center at the same time. Rest assured, both of those connections to the data center are encrypted and secure.

Remember, you have an option to restrict particular employees and IP addresses; permanently or temporarily rejecting their access to your system. (Note: This option may come in handy with ex-employees). You can also enable a one-way communication so that an employee can save data, but is simultaneously not permitted to export or retrieve confidential data. This is a highly useful function, especially for those employees handling accounting information. Moreover, employees handling data entry can be restricted to access the back office during specific business hours. Lastly, you can restrict an employee's access to specific software modules of your back office, including product setup modules, as well as any other area that is not required for a particular employee's line of work.

While your employees run your business and manage your website, your customers can browse through your website at the same time and see all the new and updated content your employees are entering. Your customers' connection between the website and the data center is also secure, protecting any critical data that your customer may enter on your website such as a credit card number.

If you think security is not a concern; we hope you will never be affected by headlines like Wordpress gets hacked or TJ Max Hacker Steal 45.7 million credit cards. You can find many articles just like these which speak about online businesses becoming victims to hackers and data breaches. Shopping Cart Elite proactively implements new technology and software to protect your online business from getting hacked or breached. If a hacker tries to bypass the security of your website and back office to get access to your private business data, by manipulating SQL (Structured Query Language) injections and DOS attacks, the hacker's computer's IP address will be blocked and banned altogether from further access to our data center. Our data center staff monitors all activity 24/7 to make sure everything is running smoothly and any hacker threats are blocked immediately.

All of this happens in the background of Shopping Cart Elite while you run your business.

Also known as cloud computing, means we are able to shift computing resources and underlying technical infrastructure away from the user (yourself). Users do not need to have any knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. [You've may have heard that it takes time to build and design an excellent website, and it costs a lot of money to professionally host and support it, but you've probably never heard that it can be successfully accomplished within 10 minutes for a very affordable price, using Cloud Centralization.

Due to our implementation of cloud computing, we can give you a complete back office, website and product data almost immediately after you sign up. Our graphic designers will create and apply your website graphics within several days so you can have a complete and functional website, which would normally take over 500 hours to build. We even have our own email client within Shopping Cart Elite which means you will have your very own email with your domain name (Ex. yourname@yourdomainname.com) as soon as you sign up. We are very proud to say that with Shopping Cart Elite you can have everything you can possibly need to operate your business today.

Another reason for cloud computing is the global update functionality; whenever you have to build, buy and host your own website, you also need to do your own updates and upgrades.

You may have heard that hosting can only cost you $9.99 per month, but you've probably never heard that your $9.99 hosting provider can shut your hosting account down if you exceed their "secret" bandwidth limit. They can also have your website running slower than a turtle, infect your server with a virus and charge you to restore your data, or simply kick you out, unless you pay them a higher fee.

Without repeating what others have already said, you can read "Going Unlimited Hosting" and "Unlimited Bandwidth Overselling". The bottom line is that hosting is not free, no matter who advertises that it is, or what they might claim. Wholesale hosting costs are evaluated by hardware cost + data center cost + bandwidth cost. A server can cost from $4,000 - $10,000, renting a spot for the server at a data center can cost from $40 - $125 for 1U per month and bandwidth can cost from $10 - $75 for each megabit per month, you do the math. In other words, the average price for a standard (1U) server, which can operate a website that will draw 20,000 unique visitors per month, will cost you around $200 - $300 per month for the data center and bandwidth alone, in addition add another $200-$400 per month or $4000- $10,000 fee for the server itself.

If you're paying anything less than the wholesale market price for a server and hosting, you are getting shared hosting on a shared server that is not scalable. Do you need to be scalable? Certainly not in the startup stages, but what happens when you become successful and your traffic increases? That's when the trouble begins; you'll face days if not weeks of down time when transferring your data over to a new server and/or hosting provider, you may face synchronization issues, which will result in repair costs and more down time. You'll also be hit with greater costs if you don't prepare for scaling, for example, suddenly your website loads extremely slow, and you go from 10 sales per day to 0 sales per day because your visitors don't want to wait 10 seconds for each web page to load on your website. You will have no choice but to find a replacement provider without shopping for one. If you are not ready to scale, and you are hit with a sudden scaling issue, you will end up with a big bill and a big headache.

Shopping Cart Elite can scale to your business's demands as your business grows. If tomorrow you will receive 10,000 more unique visitors, and you will require more hardware or bandwidth to support those visitors, you can upgrade with Shopping Cart Elite immediately at a very competitive hosting price.
