There seems to be two types of solutions available: hosted software and licensed software.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the licensed software was software that you purchased\/downloaded and then there was also free software.

These solutions of course are not downloaded to your computer or server, but are hosted on the provider&#8217;s site and you normally pay a monthly fee. You would also incur additional charges based on what other features you chose.<\/p>\n<p>After an exhausting search of shopping cart software, which ones are highest reviewed? It depends a lot on a persons specific needs and what there goal is with the software. A person that has a good understanding of computers and software would probably prefer the licensed software as it affords you the ability to own and customize. However, if you do not have a proficiency with computer or just do not want to deal with the hassel of setting up software yourself the hosted software is the better choice.<\/p>\n<p>The most most educated way to go is to just, give it a try, many hosted companies offer 30 day trials and no matter how many reviews you read nothing will give you more information than just trying it out yourself.
