ISPs that Support Shopsite

Hi everyone,

Based on some of the input from this newsgroup, I've been looking into
different ISPs to host our Shopsite-based e-commerce site.

I looked into Lexiconn.com based on everyone's suggestions and they do
seem great. They replied to my e-mail very quickly and were very
knowledgeable about the software.

Now the bad news...

Our current Verio hosted website is run on an Irix platform. A
migration to a non-Irix platform such as Lexiconn uses would cause the
loss of all our "Order Anywhere" linkers (over 1000 of them), so this is
completely unacceptable.

So, can anyone recommend a great ISP, like Lexiconn, that runs IRIX
platform?

Are you absolutely sure this is the case? If so, you may be able to write a
quick script to make the conversion for you. In theory, the order anywhere
links are paths from your document root of your web directory. Thus, the
links should be the same so long as the directories are the same.

my 2cents...

Dennis,

The I believe the itemnums are whatthey are more worried about. Since the db's
aren't compatible between an IRIX store and a Linux store, the products would
have to be imported to recreate the store, and unless they are imported in the
exact order they existed in the old database, and with the non-consecutive gaps
filled in, then the new products will have itemnums.

It can be done, however, as described in the Knowledgebase article listed in one
of my other posts on this thread.
