Do you have a recommendation on what shopping cart to use with BH? Figured I would ask you before i use something that will be harder to work with BH.
thanks

(Post split into new thread - different subject.)

I'll have to leave that to someone else, since I've never used a shopping cart (I stick to relying on the kindness of strangers :) ).

BH is just a host that offers PHP/Linux hosting. Your question should be which is the best PHP free/paid shopping cart. I would recommend oscommerce, but for mst shopping carts, there is a steep learnign curve. To customize, you obviously need good technical skills.

Oscommerce would be the best. Fastasico should install it. Current Fantastico supports the currently release 2.2 Release Candidate 2a

Use SimpleScripts, not Fantastico. Fantastico is being phased out - there's no telling how long it will remain available.

Also if you are going to use osCommerce you need to get the patch for it to fix it so it doesn't need register globals enabled. The default for register globals was changed from on to off many years ago and the option is currently being phased out all together so the next time any hosting updates to the new version of PHP there wont be a register globals option to turn on. I'd recommend looking for a more modern script rather than running one designed for PHP 4.1 and earlier.
