Answer 1

Solution:

• A good web hosting service will provide you with premium domains with the highest quality servers with minimal latency. The web host will directly impact the speed of your website which is very crucial in e-commerce hence one should choose the web host after checking their server speeds, locations of the server (servers closer to your locations will give you faster speeds), the latency and other technical factors.
  One most important factors to look for is customer support. It will always be good to have the web host with the best customer support as our web host for the e-commerce website. This is how one can evaluate the best possible web hosting services for their business.
  
• The electronic commerce software is basically content management systems that manage the content of your website from your products, to collections, checkout process, website analytics, and other crucial tasks. They work in sync with the store of most of the times these tasks will be automated within the store and the store owner would only need to monitor the sales and customer support. The other activities are managed by the software itself and the processes are automated.
  
• The size of business affects the choice of your software because some software are built for small companies and customer base whereas some software is built for enterprise use. Hence, the software chosen for e-commerce depends on the size of the business, the traffic the web store receives and the customer load that is needed to be handled. Hence, this is why the type of software is crucial because it is dependent on the size of the business.
  
• The electronic commerce software such as Shopify and WooCommerce works very well for all types of businesses. These two software allows scalability and hence customers can scale their business from zero to a million customers using these electronic commerce software.
