I'm currently running my online book store website on EasyStore. After few months of using it, I've decided to build my own e-commerce website using Wordpress + WooCommerce during my renewal month (4/2015).

EasyStore and other related e-commerce solutions are good for business owners that doesn't have the time to configure and build their own e-commerce website, but the sacrifice will be the flexibility and the ability to expand the feature of the website (yes you can, pay more to upgrade).

I have explored a few open source e-commerce platform such as Magento, OSCommerce, etc and found out WordPress + WooCommerce might be a good choice because it's simple and there are a lot of plugins available to be used for free.

So now I need suggestion on webhosting+domain (for .com.my) service which is good and affordable (budget RM 300 and below). I'm still thinking whether to sign up the EBiz Power Hosting Plan from Exabytes and at the same time explore other more affordable choices.

To web hosting sales agents, I welcome you to post your webhosting+domain packages here. Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll download Opencart and try out soon.

As for security issue, my e-commerce website currently only accept cash deposit/bank transfer and Maybank2u Pay. Is it okay to compromise to this simpler solution if my website doesn't accept credit card payment now?

By the way, after browsing the packages offered by ServerFreak, I'm very interested in the Linux Shared Hosting packages. Might contact your team next year when I want to order the package and transfer my domain. Hope that you'll have promotion when I want to order.

Mind to PM me the details or send me the link for more info on your website? I saw there's a RM 0/year package for 100MB but my current domain is currently tied to my EasyStore package.

Thank you for the information. My domain (.com.my) is currently hosted by Exabytes and my renewal month is April 2015 so I won't need it now. As for the SME EBiz Power Hosting, I have browsed through the information and contacted your sales team. Now I'm trying to explore other cheaper and better options since the cheapest package of SEPH is RM 300 with 25 GB HD space and 5 email accounts only.

By looking at the positive feedback, I've decided to transfer my domain and sign up a new web hosting package at ServerFreak. I'm getting more frustrated with the search function at EasyStore that giving me and my visitors incorrect results. I have complaint the issues to them at least 3 times but the problem will come back even after they fix it.

But now I'm considering whether to maintain my existing domain (.com.my) or just use the free domain included in some of the web hosting packages (e.g. Deluxe).

It might be expensive for me to maintain both domains as my business is just a start-up with low volume of sales actually.

Thank you guys for the great suggestion and comments!

I have decided to transfer my domain (.com.my) to ServerFreak and sign up a new web hosting package as well for my new e-commerce website using Wordpress.

I'm currently building it on my local machine and getting it ready to be migrated to the real server. Now I can have more products than what I'm allowed to have with existing package!
