    I like the fact that it is part owned by Ebay so you know it has great support behind it. So the chances of it going away anytime soon are small. Plus it means with great backing and support it is kept upto date.

      I know this post is from quite a while ago, but would've also expected an eBay service to continue. If you haven't heard, eBay is no longer offering the Go.Magento.com hosted solution.

      Magento Go is not available to new merchants, and is being discontinued for existing merchants as of February 1st, 2015. Current merchants on the platform have been receiving migration instructions for moving their stores to other solutions.

      xCommerce is no longer an active site. All of the information on store platforms at X.com has been removed and the domain now redirects to eBayInc.com

    I think if you're new to ecommerce, or even if you're a developer or semi-skilled in development, it's best starting with a hosted solution i.e Shopify or BigCommerce. Starting out, you will want to focus on the actual business of retailing i.e inventory, shipping, marketing etc versus technical aspects of running an ecommerce website.

    Once you scale the business, Magento and other open source/self-hosted proprietary options are definitely the way to go.

    Magento makes online shopping more user-friendly, which deliver remarkable shopping experiences to internet users. It helps to follow the latest sales data of your e-store from any mobile device. I don't think so there are any other open source rather than Magento, which helps to online businesses to grow its productivity & success rapidly.

    Magento CE is best for one who like to expand there store functionality and get full control over it.
    You can customized it to take any level you want.
    Using this version you don't need to worry about going away because you will have all the source code in your own server.

    Simply because Magento CE will allow you to generate 100-200% automation efficiency if you implement it correctly (most don't) - the highest of any open source solution, platforms like Shopify are 50%. The only problem is that Amazon and corporates run at 1,000% who are starting to encroach on Small Business markets - but one problem at a time!

      I agree, Magento is great - if you are a programmer or have the money to hire a Magento expert to customize it for you or are a big company with a lot of money to develop your cart.

      If you don't have the skill level though, trying to do the simpliest change in the template will probably make you pull your hair out and break the store. Their backend is also very complex and even simply tasks like setting up shipping and payment options will probably take a while - I played with it for 3 months and never did figure out their shipping system and that was after 10 years of experience setting up ecommerce carts. Their addons will also on average cost you $50+ to customize the function of your store the way you want.

      Though personally I don't like hosted solutions, if you have 0 experience or programming/design knowledge, go with a hosted one like Bigcommerce or Shopify, etc.

      Otherwise, I recommend Opencart over Magento for ease of use, ease of updating, and ease of getting help. It is also free and opensource like Magento CE. Addons range from free to $10-15 on average (there are some pricey ones but mainly for very specialized functions most store owners won't need). I've run my 30 stores on opencart now for nearly 3 years and haven't regretted it.

    When you use Magento, the products of your store can be displayed easily. That gives the people a great buying experience. Effective layout help people in site navigation, hence helps to find out the things they are looking for quickly. Zoom-in capability, product reviews, multiple images of a product are some of the features that make Magento user friendly and inspires the visitors to make a buy and revisit the website.
