Self-hosting your eCommerce website has many benefits. The most important benefit is that you&#8217;ll have full control over your website and data. You must host your self-hosted eCommerce software somewhere. If you host it with us, we&#8217;ll install it, configure it, and optimize it for you, free of charge. You&#8217;ll also have our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/support.html\">EPIC Support<\/a> at-hand ready to help you 24\/7.<\/li>\n<li>You should use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ssl-certificates.html\">SSL certificate<\/a>, especially for your payment pages and client areas. Your site will be more secure, more trustworthy and it will improve your search engine rankings.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll need a <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.rosehosting.com\/clientarea\/index.php?\/checkdomain\/domain-registration\/\">domain<\/a>. Though some online hosted eCommerce apps may give you a free subdomain, having your own domain is a must when it comes to self-hosting. Your business will be easier to remember and easier to brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Magento\"><\/span><strong>2.
