E-Commerce Systems
电子商务系统

It is not a very good idea to build your own e-commerce system. Some (larger) companies might do it, but we will not recommend it if you run a smaller business. Building an e-commerce system is a complicated process, with the potential for a lot of errors.
建立自己的电子商务系统并不是好主意。一些（较大型的）公司也许会这样做，但如果是小公司我们并不推荐这个方案。建立电子商务系统是复杂的过程，弄得不好会出现大量错误。

You might buy a ready-to-use system and run it on your own server. Many systems are available on the market today, and most of them will cover your basic needs for order management and processing. But again, if you are not familiar with hosting your own web site, starting with an e-commerce site is not the right thing.
也许你已买了可以即将使用的系统，并在自己的服务器上运行。现今市场上有很多可用系统，而且大部分可以满足你对命令控制和处理的基本需求。但是再重申一遍，如果你对虚拟主机自己网站不是很熟悉的话，从头开始做电子商务网站是不正确的。

The best solution, in our opinion, is to find a hosting provider that offers an e-commerce solution.
最佳方案，在我们的观念里 ，使寻找能提供电子商务方案的虚拟主机服务器提供商。

Before you sign up a contract with any hosting provider, surf some other e-commerce sites on their servers. Find out how it works. Actually try some shopping and see if you get a good feeling. Also compare the other sites against yours, to see if it looks like you have the same needs. Contacting some of the other customers is also a valuable option.
