TomatoCart Hosting, its Need and Procedure to choose the right TomatoCart Web Hosting - By: dwslenin


TomatoCart is widely recognised as a professional and pioneered open source eCommerce solution across the world. The backend portrays as a superb desktop-like Ext JS-powered interface, which offers important usability enhancements and user experience. TomatoCart is referred to as the most easy, user-friendly shopping cart, developed in January 2009 by Wuxi Elootec Technology Co., Ltd. It is branched out from osCommerce 3 as a separate project under the GNU General Public License V2.

TomatoCart is equipped with the web 2.0 technologies Ajax and Rich Internet Applications (or RIAs), where the team is focused on developing a landmark solution for eCommerce applications. The administration site of the TomatoCart is entirely revised on the basis of Ext JS, a cross-browser JavaScript library to build RIAs. It embraces various high-performance and customisable UI widgets that can make the work with web applications much easier. It can be installed on any LAMP (abbreviated for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

Two of the minimum server requirements for TomatoCart Hosting include:
• PHP v5.1.6+ (in addition with MySQLi extension)
• MySQL v4.1.13+ or v5.0.7+

Most of the shipping and payment modules however need CURL to be installed or compiled with PHP as well as OpenSSL. The https support may also be required on the basis of the payment methods being accepted. The SSL should be used during creating accounts and checkouts. Using https (or SSL) is highly advisable for the sole objective of protection of data collected about the customers. Some payment modules, as they need SSL to function, if used without SSL, would mean violating the Terms Of Service (TOS) with the company’s merchant bank.

TomatoCart can be used on any web server as it is compatible by every server supporting PHP. While choosing the right TomatoCart Web Hosting provider for your website, you will find some may not offer their clients the basic features of file access, sockets, file uploading, emails, etc. Some TomatoCart features may not work on such providers.
