More and more stay at home parents, retired professionals and entrepreneurs are
opening up their own on-line shops. To do so they can choose from a wide range
of affordable and easy to use Ecommerce platforms specifically created to help those new to selling online.
Based on price, ease of use, effectiveness and levels of ongoing support we have chosen Internet Retailer as the best hosted Ecommerce solution for beginners for 2010.
At less than £10 a month which also includes unlimited
support and advice on everything from setting up the contents
of your shop to even helping you find suppliers for your products, they won't leave you sitting in front of your computer scratching your head about what to do next!
Their premium shop design choice at a shade under £1.3k allows you to advance your business up several levels before the need to
look for a higher capacity commercial package.

engines, Internet Retailer is our 2010 Best Hosted Ecommerce Solution for Beginners.

Best Ecommerce Software for Developers 2010
In another very competitive category, our winner for the Best eCommerce Software
for Developers in 2010 is Actinic.
We first came across Actinic many years ago displaying their first version eCommerce
software at a Business Start-up event at the NEC in Birmingham. At the time
it was a new concept but since then many thousands of alternatives have become available.
Having reviewed dozens of eCommerce Software systems we are yet to find eCommerce
software that offers as much as Actinic in terms of ease of use, the ability to
customise it, their online support and advice forums and their developer licence
which offers a quick return on investment for developers creating online shops for
retail businesses of all sizes.
Once again, Actinic is not the cheapest eCommerce software solution but now in its
eighth version it continues to be the UK's market leader for developers.

Best Do-It-Yourself eCommerce Software
For those of you who cringe at the thought of paying a developer to build a shop
for you, or pay a hosted eCommerce solution provider a monthly fee for their services,
we recommend osCommerce as the Best Do-It-Yourself eCommerce Software for 2010.
osCommerce, now in its 3rd official version, is a free to use eCommerce software
that provides nearly every feature you would hope to have in your own online shop.
It is easy to install and set-up, although to customise it to give your shop that
personal touch, it does require a bit of PHP programming knowledge.
There are now many similar free to use systems and some that openly mimic osCommerce,
but in terms of an online community of support and willing developers to help you
every step of the way, osCommerce is our clear winner for the Best Do-It-Yourself
eCommerce Software.
