If you are new to e-commerce some of these terms and features may seem confusing and daunting; Access databases, SSL, gateways, SQL Server, MySQL, dynamic page displays instead of creating your own HTML, taxes, shipping, payments, discounts etc.

   1. Basic Company configuration and e-mail set-up
   2. Company name and details
6. Add up to five categories
7. Add up to 10 products
8. Set-Up SSL or shared SSL if available
9. Run basic tests and complete a test order

Are you interested?

If you are interested in this service and you already own a copy of VP-ASP, you can request an installation by submitting a ticket in our online help desk and inserting your details in our secure FTP section.

If you are enquiring about our installation service you can contact us by sending us a request via our contact us page. We will verify that your web hosting company can run VP-ASP and if it cannot, we will recommend a suitable host. We will then send you a checklist of the information we need from you and a quote for doing this work.

Cost?

This service is FREE when you sign up for the Gold or Platinum hosting packages. For more information about our hosting plans and rates, go to hosting page here.

If you already have your own web host the installation service is still very cheap as a standalone service; from just US$150 for the basic install, you can have your VP-ASP online store up and running in no time. This installation cost is in addition to the cost for the VP-ASP Shopping Cart software. Please contact us if you are interested.
