    Cart.com
    The Multi-Store eCommerce platform is by far the strongest feature. Anyone who has a direct to consumer business and a business-to-business side should use cart.com. Also, if you plan to grow to a 7 figure business, it is best to start and stay with cart.com because Shopify will get ridiculously expensive as you grow.

    I run five websites off of 1&1 for different outshoots of the company. For our web needs it works perfectly. We have a midgrade hosting package and it works perfectly. I know if issues arose from traffic or storage space 1&1 would have a solution for us.

    • Private registration: 1&1 offers free private registration which makes them an automatic favorite.
    • Reliable customer service: always someone available when I call in and I have never had my issue not get resolved.
    • Easy to use dashboard: domains in one place with DNS settings and other things that can be tweaked. It's easy to add an SSL certificate to domains as well.

    Cons
    Cart.com
    • The integrations are good, but not great. Shopify is really good at integrations.
    • Tech support is fairly slow and it can take several days to a week to get a simple question answered.
    • Stronger reporting. It hasn't changed in the last 4 years.

    The email system has not impeded out mail flow in any way, and we do not notice the delays we sometimes see with other systems that include spam/junk mail filtering.

    Rackspace I find to be too pricey for the service they offer. Pagely is very much WordPress oriented. I've had downtime with both that I haven't experienced with 1&1.

    The scalability of the email solution far exceeds our needs and would be suitable for organizations not looking for an enterprise sized multipurpose solution (O365, Google Workspace, etc).
