Create a website with an online shop:
Security, configuration & fine tuning

Every online shop should have an interface that matches its industry and its product range, and also harmonizes with your corporate design. After all, not only books are judged by their cover.

At Hoststar, our website builder, the Designer, is the tool for that task. With our Designer, you can select the perfect template and layout and can add the finishing touches to your online shop after. You don't need any programming skills for this.

With the convenient drag & drop feature in our Designer, you can adapt the selected layout to own ideas. The modules can be moved and changed easily—any changes are shown to you in real time in the live preview. You can therefore react directly to layout shifts or display errors.

Create a cheap online shop

At Hoststar you can create an online shop at a low price. You get our shop offer with our StarBiz and StarPlus hosting packages. A whole range of other additional services are also included.
