Mar 1, 2006 : Register.comAddsE-commerce Solution

📅 March 1, 2006 - Domain name registrar and Web host Register.com (register.com ) announced on Tuesday it has introduced its new Web design service, Build-It-For-Me + eCommerce, offering small business customers a complete online storefront designed and ready in as little as a couple of weeks.

Register.com is working with eBay arm ProStores, to provide customers with online stores that include features for inventory management, shopping cart functionality, payment solutions and search engine optimization. The ProStores-based stores can integrate seamlessly with the eBay marketplace.

"We all know that big business is well established both online and in e-commerce, but small businesses - the driving force of our nation's economy - and their owners, now have an easy option to begin their own push toward e-commerce," says Monica Hodges, GM of retail at Register.com. "An online storefront that would normally cost thousands of dollars with a private Web designer can now be obtained easily and inexpensively at Register.com."

The Build-It-For-Me + eCommerce offering provides customers with professionally designed five-page Web sites, as well as a package of e-commerce software. The sites can include up to 100 products in an online catalog, integrate shipping tables with FedEx, UPS or Canada Post, use integrated storefront management tools and sign up, post and manage auction-style and fixed-price listings on eBay.

In January, Register.com announced a set of changes to its wholesale domain registration business.
