Yesterday, Pinnacle Cart and GoDaddy announced a new partnership that would provide Pinnacle’s PHP shopping cart solution to GoDaddy users through GoDaddy’s Hosting Connection. Both companies have carved out market share in their respective industries, and this partnership will only further their reach.
Pinnacle cart has been offering a PHP based shopping cart solution to tens of thousands of customers for over six years. GoDaddy is one of the leading hosting companies on the Internet and the top domain registrar. As GoDaddy has grown, they have expanded their product offerings from simple domain registration, to a suite of online tools including web design, templates, hosting, and now an ecommerce shopping cart through Pinnacle.
In a recent press release on the topic, Pinnacle explains this merger by stating “Pinnacle Cart will offer the same robust features and functionality that have already been deployed to tens of thousands of users worldwide. Their powerful PHP shopping cart and website builder has over 400 features designed to increase sales and web site traffic.”
A partnership like this could lead to a growth in Pinnacle users, making it easier for prospective merchants to quickly deploy their online storefront and enter into the ecommerce world. Other changes might include Pinnacle’s hosting service moving to the GoDaddy server farm, which could decrease monthly hosting fees across the board.
It’s also good to try checking out various php hosting services from other providers.
