Hosting

NeuCart offers two methods of purchase:

1. Purchase the software and install it on your site.
2. Purchase the hosting plan and have your store hosted on NeuCart.com

What is the difference? In general, the hosted version of the software is for customers whose primary website is not hosted on PHP servers. The chart below compares the two NeuCart software options:
