shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by AlegroCart

AlegroCart is an eCommerce platform that allows you to set up and operate your own online store. It is free to download and install for any type of store, which makes it ideal for companies just starting out or those on a budget. There are also no real limitations in terms of how many products or categories you can include. The platform itself is coded in PHP and runs on a MySQL database, both of which are quite standard so you shouldn’t need anything special to get up and running.

As with many free platforms, there isn’t as much direct support as you might hope for. They do have a surprisingly active online forum where people using the system can get together and discuss problems or how they get things done. Due to the overall simplicity of the system, however, you aren’t likely to run into too many real problems.

AlegroCart Pros

Cost
This is a completely free platform to use.
Limitations
There are no limits on how many products you can list, sales you can make or categories you can set up.
Standards
The coding is done very well and they use standard PHP and MySQL, which makes it easier to work with if you want to do any customizations.

AlegroCart Cons

Linux Only
This platform is only supported on Linux. Linux is the most popular web server operating system though, so this won’t likely be a problem for many people.
Features
They don’t have the option for features like gift certificates, loyalty programs and affiliates to be set up on this store.

AlegroCart Review

Initial Setup
Installing this platform is very simple and can be done in just a couple clicks if you use the installation scripts that are included on all InterServer hosting packages. Even if you choose to download and install the system manually it still isn’t too difficult. Once the system is installed you can go through and adjust settings and add in your products to sell. The entire setup goes very quickly, which most people will love.
Plugins
AlegroCart has developed quite a few plugins (they call them extensions) to add functionality to your online store. These plugins can be installed in just seconds through their admin page and they will allow you to do a lot of very nice things through their system. Things like seeing what items customers have bought in the past, for example, will help you to market to them better in the future. For a free platform, this is a very nice set of plugins.
Themes
They used a modular template design that makes it easy to find and install the templates that you want. It also makes it easier to code your own templates, which many people who want their own look and feel will decide to do. Most templates also have the option to customize things like font and color for additional unique looks. Installing a new template takes just moments and switching between different options is also very easy.
Customization
Right out of the box you can customize quite a bit of the site. Things like color, font, layout and other items can be adjusted on the fly right from the admin panel. In addition, they allow you to make some pretty significant changes using templates and extensions as mentioned above. While there are some features that more advanced systems have that are missing here, most people will be quite happy about the overall ability to customize their site.
SEO Friendly
The on-site SEO with this platform is quite good. They have built in options for describing your product and that will apply in the URL as well. Most people won’t even need to use an SEO plugin with this platform because it has things configured nicely by default.
Cost of Running
Everything about this platform is free. Even the themes and plugins that I found were free of charge. Of course, there may be some third party options out there that will charge, so watch out for that. AlegroCart is also coded very nicely so you can use a standard shared hosting system to create your site, which will further save you money.
