It looks like it has alot of features = Ebay etc. Can you do a review on it? I am looking for a cart with all the Big Commerce features but with unlimited bandwidth which Izzonet has but I just can't find any outside information on them. Your expert advise would be most welcome. thanks Siew Hi Andrew,

By properly identifying your website and using local top level domains, address tags and the other available meta data you can easily counter any negative effects of being hosted overseas. For checkout your users will be presented with Shopify.com - despite all testing it seems to have no effect on conversions - I am always surprised but people don't seem to mind, I guess Shopify has built up a brand and people are starting to recognize it The SEO advantage of being hosted in you target market is minimal. 0.01% at most.

What are the implications of this? I want to commit to shopify as they tick all the boxes for me. I'm based in Ireland so being hosted on the U.S will impact my load speeds, google ranking ect... right? Also regarding the payment page, say I am using paypal to take payments. What is the customer presented with?, is it shopfy.com or mysite.com Love the blog BTW. Just to pick up on one of the comments above Andrew, it is regarding not being hosted in your own country.

We are a small Natural Remedy business and are currently using OS commerce through our website designer but are considering moving our website to WordPress to improve SEO and our ability to control the content.

We are in Australia and sell mainly here although will sell in the future to Sweden, HK and States.

Any advice on whether a WP online store would be suitable.

Thanks for all that you do!
Kirsty
