I checked into Ebay ProStores, Yahoo Stores, Volusion and a bunch of other shopping cart providers. I found the best value to be with http://www.iHost.Net . It's only $14.95 per month and has all the features I need. Unlike OS Commerce, there is no software to install.

Confused

Or do you have a separate database?  Do you even use it all?  

I have found nothing is more powerful than when a repeat customer calls in, to not only be able to address them by name, but to be able to ask them how their last order (widget xyz) worked out for them.  Getting a few seconds of feedback is always invaluable. 

Thoughts?
