Businesses seek e-commerce solutions that address their particular business or implementation needs. Usually, a business will match or vary only slightly from a business model. One such business model is the Hosting business model. This model illustrates how a business might use an e-commerce site to do the following:
- ISP manages a hosting site and monitors the activity of their merchants
- Merchants use self-provisioning tools to register and create a store for their customers
- Merchants have full control over their stores (for example, catalog, orders, campaigns, etc)
