Security News:

Customers have asked us about the Heart Bleed vulnerability and whether we are affected. The good news is that we are not. Our server uses a different security protocol that does not have this vulnerability.

When I started the company I managed my own servers and website software, but it wasn't long before I got to busy with customers and orders that I didn't have time to manage my own servers and feel comfortable that everything was secure and provided the best possible customer experience. I spent many months testing and exploring hosted shopping cart software before settling on Americommerce (www.americommerce.com). Though their service is very expensive (I spent almost $25,000 a year just on website hosting), their service has been excellent. If you want to read more about how they work to protect our most valuable asset, you, more information is available at http://www.americommerce.com/pci-datacenter-and-shopping-cart-security
