ShopSite shopping cart software is designed to work in a variety of common Web hosting environments. You can get ShopSite for Web servers running on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows Server operating systems.
In addition to the ShopSite program requirements indicated below, you will require disk space for your store content. The amount of disk space required by an individual store depends on several factors, such as the number of products and orders and the size and quantity of images you use. As a general guideline, we suggest having at least 10MB of disk space set aside for your store content, but you may need more.
You will need to have administrative rights on your Web server to install ShopSite. In order for ShopSite to run without problems, your server should meet at least these minimum requirements, depending on your operating system:
Whichever operating system you are hosted on, it is an extremely good idea to make sure your operating system and other software is up to date. Software updates frequently include security and reliability enhancements, which can significantly contribute to security and stability on your Web server. Contact your system administrator or hosting provider if you have questions about keeping your server up to date.
Footnotes:
1. Hard Drive space required for installation is in addition to the space required for the program files, but is only required for the installation. If you have limited available space, you may remove the installation files after ShopSite has been installed.
