The term electronic commerce or ecommerce is used to describe doing business over the Internet. Ecommerce has been described as the new economic paradigm. By 2002, total ecommerce transactions are projected to exceed over $1 trillion dollars annually. A direct, real-time, producer to consumer virtual marketplace will dominate the national and global economies. Hundreds of thousands of new and agile companies will emerge from around the globe. Opportunity for prosperity will abound for those prepared to take advantage of it. 

HostIQ also offers a comprehensive suite of electronic commerce products and services which cover all the facets of building and maintaining a Web Store.  The HostIQ solution is robust and low cost because at HostIQ, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in the "global marketplace." There are two basic products/services required to conduct "real-time" ecommerce 24 hours a day, seven days a week:
