Easy
Store System Requirements
The
Easy Store Amazon Associate software has similar requirements
to other e-commerce storefronts. Most hosts support the Easy
Store,
which
runs on
Linux Hosting, PHP 4.0 or higher, and MYSQL database 4.0 or higher.
 You
choose your Domain name |
The Easy Store Amazon Associate store
allows you to run your store on your own domain name.
Choosing your own domin name is important when starting
an online store. By using your
own domain
name, you can customize your store's keywords and theme
to agree with your domain and increase traffic to your
associate store.
|
| Why are domains so important? |
| Domain names are important. How you choose
your domain name is important too. Every website has a URL
which is the
address from which it is served to a visitor's browser (Ex:
www.yourname.com, net, org, etc). Promoting your site requires
you to promote your URL so people
can
find all your great content and products. Sites with long
URL's have a harder time being taken seriously - while this
isn't
fair,
it is a reality. It has been suggested that some search engines'
ranking algorithms favor sites with their own domain names. |

| Asking yourself... How do I register a
domain name? |

it easy to register domain names and provide everything
you need for your website
or web business. To purchase a domain name for your store,
just type the domain name you want in the "FREE
Domain Name" search box and select "GO".
You will be instructed step by step!

 Linux
Website Hosting |
| When choosing hosting for your website,
there are two types of hosting servers to choose from - Linux
or Windows.
The Easy
Store
software
runs
on
Linux web hosting. Linux hosting will cost you less than
Windows hosting and also has a reputation for stability
and speed which means that Linux web servers will crash less
often than Windows web servers and Linux runs most processes
faster than Windows.
|
| |
| How do I sign up for a Linux hosting
account? |
| Just by choosing to purchase a Linux
hosting plan with Madfire, you
will save up to $67 Dollars when purchasing
The Easy Store software. That's almost one years worth of
FREE hosting for your Amazon Associate
Store! |

 PHP
4.X |
| PHP is a programming
language that allows web developers to create dynamic content
that interacts with databases. PHP is basically used for
developing web based software applications. It is very common
for Linux Website Hosting Companies to have PHP 4.0 or higher |
| |
 MySQL
Database 4.X
|
| The MySQL database server is the most
popular open source database in the world and is used to hold
The Easy Store's information and images. Any MySQL database
that is 4.0 or higher will work for The Easy Store software,
including MySQL 5.0. |
