Web Hosting Solution for my Spare parts Business.

[cade.david]

I am supplier of spare parts of heavy vehicles. I want to start my online business for which I need a website which caters the Supply Chain Management of spare parts etc. in UK. I am looking for a web hosting solution that would fulfill my domain and other hosting needs. All suggestions and tips are welcome.

Basically you need a web hosting solution that would provide a domain and help you through registration and parking. You can have a domain from b1Hosting | web hosting, UK web hosting, domain, shopping cart and choose from the suitable one for you from the various hosting plans available their. Select the domain name, if it is available then select the hosting plan: basic/ silver/ gold. It would also help you in reselling hosting and other services like a dedicated server for a flat monthly fee. You can even have a basic web design for you by one of the website’s professionals.

HI David, welcome to the forum. I am a civil Engineer by trade, loved the job, hated the crap hours through the summer when I wanted to be ripping around the country on my Honda

I took over the tendering and the buying for the company and sourcing spare parts was a nightmare for me. Today with the web it would have been a breeze.

My reason for posting the above is to give you encouragment that you are doing the right thing

Just about any decent hosting company will give you what you have asked for above, but what EXACTLY are you looking to do? are you setting up an ecommerce shopping cart thing? or are you looking to take orders by email etc? How will payment be processed (I used mainly account or cheque with order/ Chaps).

When you say 'spare parts' what EXACTLY are we talking about here ? New? used? specific items from specific suppliers? OE manufactured stuff? I tracked down some airbags for a dumptruck that were being used in aircrafts and I was buying them for £300 a piece, when the Swedish manufacturer was charging almost three THOUSAND!

OE part numbers are king in this game. Whenever a fitter stripped anything, I took the numbers off seals, bearings casings just about anything that had a number on it was logged down, and dimensions taken. THEN came the ball breaking part of telephoning people to try to identify everything.

Had this information been on the internet someplace, then whoever had it up there would have got my order!

So post some more and lets get you going.
