As part of various research I have created various overviews with eCommerce shop providers, which I therefore want to provide my readers here for free. Today now part 1 - rental shops.
The key to a successful online shop is a well-designed e-commerce shop system. Ecommerce store systems are a collection of software that turns an online store into a viable business.
However, running an eCommerce store is not an easy task. You need a suitable inventory management system, a secure payment processing system, a marketing platform, etc. If you are looking for an eCommerce shop system, rental shop systems can be a good solution for you.
What are rent shops?
Rental shops are complete solutions: You secure one or more domain names via a provider and rent a certain amount of storage space on the server.
These are eCommerce shop systems that can be implemented by anyone in a few minutes and are ready to go in the shortest possible time. As a rule, these systems are also compatible with various accounting and merchandise management systems and can be adapted to special needs and requirements.
Rental shop systems: This is how the technology works in the background
Technically it works like this: A functional shop system is already available on the server or can be activated with a click of the mouse. The technical term for this service is Application Service Provider (abbreviation: ASP) or application service provider.

The service provider thus provides an application such as an online shop for information exchange over the Internet. The ASP handles the entire administration, such as backup, patching, shop and server availability, etc.
The service scope
Depending on the offer, services such as merchandise management, accounting or payroll accounting can also be used as a pure shop software. The applications do not run on the PC or in the company of the shopkeeper, but on the server of a provider.
In contrast to application hosting, an ASP service also includes the service (e.g. user support) around the application. The required software is not bought, but rented for use via the data network if necessary.
Which rental provider is the best?
Providing a clear recommendation for this or that supplier is difficult at this point. The best rental shop for the one dealer can be completely unsuitable for the next one.
Too much depends on what requirements you ask, what functions you need, how much money you can spend or want. Therefore you will find here a supplier overview starting point for your own research.
What to look for in the selection
When researching, for example, also pay attention to the number of permitted currencies if you are international sell want, or we have listed medium-sized shop packages - there are usually larger-sized variants or cheaper entry-level packages.
Because the tariffs often change or vendors start special deals with favorable conditions, you should inform yourself about the daily prices on the respective provider websites.
