Hi,
For my e-commerce based website, which type of technologies I must look for ?
For that, I think, you must get some SQL supporting hosting plan, as I think, it is a must for a applications such as e-commerce. SQL server is one of the most widely used database engines available today. SQL server is designed to let you build any type of Internet application. Microsoft SQL is capable of handling hundreds of thousands of transactions per day and is a widely used database in corporations requiring large, high-use databases coupled with high reliability.
Depends on which platform you want to opt for first off.
If you want to go the Microsoft route, you will want to be looking at ASP.net combined with MSSQL server. However, if you’d prefer to go the Linux route to lower costs, you’re much more likely to utilise a PHP/MySQL setup.
E-Commerce solutions can run on other platforms, though anything mainstream will run on either of the above.
Online transactions can actually be undertaken by a third party provider. For instance, Paypal thru its Express checkout can take care of the bulk of your proccessing. Similarly this holds true for Google Checkout.
