Get Your Next Year Free
We've made it easy to get a year of free
hosting!
As many of you know, the GloRewards™
program rewards you for referring your
friends and family to Globat.com. For every
3 new Web hosting referrals you make, you'll get
a full year of hosting added onto your
account, absolutely free.
To make it even easier for you to make
those referrals, we've created a special,
informative site to which you can send your
friends. It'll tell them everything they'll
need to know about hosting with Globat.com
and will help them make the decision to sign
on.
To ensure that you get credit, tell your
friends to enter your domain name in the
referral box during signup.
The site to give your friends and family is:

eCommerce and Globat.com
Using your Web hosting account for an online
store
Have you always wanted to sell products or
services online, yet aren't quite sure how?
With Globat.com, you can get everything you
need to have your own store online. Here's
what you'll need to get started:
- Domain name
- Web hosting account
- Shopping cart system
- Payment processing gateway
- Merchant account
As a Globat.com customer, you already have
the domain and Web hosting for your site. To
create a store at your site, you'll need to
install shopping cart software on your Web
hosting account.
Within your Globat Command Console®, you can
find easy 1-click installs for 2 of the most
popular free shopping cart systems: ZenCart
and osCommerce. Installation of either
software program is a breeze, and if you
need help after installation, you can find
support among the many active online
communities for these programs. A simple
search engine query will bring up many
results.
With either ZenCart or osCommerce installed,
you will be able to add products, create
categories, and allow your customers to add
items to a "shopping cart," the same
method used by most online shopping sites.
Though your shopping cart can collect payment
information, in order for your customers to
"checkout,"
you will need a payment processing gateway
that is authorized to receive and capture
funds from your customer's credit card, and
a special merchant bank account to which
these funds can be deposited.
There are some quick and simple alternatives
online such as using PayPal or Google
Checkout, but both of these methods will
require your customers to pause and take the
extra step of setting up an account in order
to pay. You could potentially lose customers
this way! The professional choice is to
obtain your own payment processor and
merchant account. There are many options
available, with rates and fees varying
widely. Globat.com has teamed with one of
the most reputable and affordable companies,
e-onlinedata. We've also obtained special
discount pricing for our customers. Click here to
learn more about e-onlinedata's payment and
merchant offerings.
Though setting up an online store is a
relatively simple process, if you're not one
for do-it-yourself projects, consider
upgrading to ShopSite. This premier online
store management system is available as an
add-on to your Web hosting account. Click here to learn
more about ShopSite.
Using the tools and resources provided to you
by Globat.com, you too can become the owner
of an online business. We'll be here to help
you along, but having the next big thing to
sell is up to you!
