Use cPanel or DirectAdmin to Launch a Fully Functional E-Commerce Website in Minutes
What’s an E-Commerce Store?
An e-commerce store is your digital shopfront, enabling customers to browse products, place orders, and make payments directly through your website. Whether you’re selling physical items, digital products, or subscriptions, having your own e-commerce setup puts you in charge of branding, data, and revenue.
Thanks to cPanel and DirectAdmin, getting your online shop live is easier than ever—no coding or advanced setup required.
Why Use cPanel or DirectAdmin?
cPanel and DirectAdmin are powerful web hosting control panels that make it simple to manage websites, domains, databases, emails, and more through an intuitive interface. With tools like Softaculous, you can install top-tier e-commerce platforms such as WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, and Magento in just a few clicks.
This means you can have a fully functional online store live and ready to go—without touching the command line.
