eCommerce website
All details are easily changed and adjusted to fit your specific requirements: navigation structure, buttons, graphics, texts, pictures, banners, logos and YouTube videos. We don't just want to make building your eCommerce website easy, but also fun. If you need help, you can simply turn to our design assistant which will lead you step by step through the set-up process. With our new and improved solutions you can set up and start selling within a few hours.
Besides the eCommerce site builder we have presented here, 1&1 IONOS also offers a managed WordPress for which the shop plugin WooCommerce can be used. This solution complies with more experienced users or users who specifically want to work with WordPress.
The domain name (e.g. 'my-first-onlineshop') along with the top level domain (e.g. '.com') forms the internet address i.e. 'my-first-onlineshop.com'. You can also use new top level domains like .shop, .sale, .discount, .toys or .fashion to further tailor your address to your industry.
If you are building your own eCommerce website, you need to choose a distinctive shop or company name for your domain, but if you cannot find a matching domain name that is free you can also use well-known product names, important product categories or service names for your domain. To make sure your unique domain name is exclusive to you, reserve all the major domain extensions like .com and .net. This way you can protect your brand from the start. If you are building an international online shop, country specific domain extensions make sense – for example .co.uk (United Kingdom) or .fr (France). After you have set up your online store, do not forget to connect your domain. You can easily do that in the 1&1 IONOS control panel.
By the way, good performance of a web shop on mobile devices is a ranking factor for search engines like Google, making mobile optimisation a real opportunity to stand out from the competition. This is especially pertinent if the competition fails to optimise the presentation of their online shop for mobile devices. Optimising how your eCommerce website is displayed also gives you access to an entirely new group of customers – those that like to shop on the go.
Additionally 1&1 IONOS eCommerce web hosting protects your shop from crashing by employing a number of server locations. eCommerce hosting at 1&1 IONOS you make use of geographically redundant data centers. The use of server-cluster-systems – two geographically separate servers – ensures that you have round the clock access to your website. Should one server fail the other takes over all functions with no disruption in the system. The two servers mirror the data and synchronise it permanently. Should a webserver of your eCommerce website be offline, to undergo maintenance for example, the other server takes over. This means your shop is always accessible – for you and your customers. Regular backups further prevent any data loss.
With our eShop solutions you can create an online shop that fulfills the requirements of the Trusted-Shops seal. Trusted Shops certifies shops in accordance with the current legal framework and the most important customer-centric values. Along with the Trusted Shops certificate you will also receive a template of all relevant legal documents plus the terms and conditions. These templates are regularly updated to comply with the current legal status so you are always up to date.
