Benefit of each approach:
- Hosted: Quick to market, capable and customizable, inexpensive to start, pricier in the long run, does the job for you, saves you time.
- Licensed: Slower to market, portable and configurable, higher initial cost, cheaper in the long run, you do the works, costs you time.
Plan Differences:
If you're an entrepreneur wanting to try your hand at business online, a Licensed e-commerce solution may be the right choice for you. You can manage the technical side of it like setting up a database, configuring DNS entries, adding features and performother tasks (which we could initially setup and cofigure for you if you wish).
On the other hand, if you're a business and your talents are selling products, you maywant to use the features rather than having to worry about the details and therefore the Hosted solution will fit you better.
The Bottom Line
You need the solution that best fits your business — the way it runs, or will run, in the real world. Map out your business processes. Make a chart of your workflow. Re-read your Mission Statement. Take a self inventory. You'll find the one that fits and we'll go from there.
