The MIVA product is a streamlined e-commerce solution designed especially for new businesses. MIVA says the cart is built around five key steps to success, including building the store, stocking the store, setting up the business, running the store and marketing. Each element of success is laid out inside the program, making it easy for beginners or seasoned ecommerce professionals to follow along.

“There is a definite need in the industry for a powerful, yet intuitive shopping cart system, and MIVA Small Business has provided that system with Fast Track,” says Apollo Hosting's CEO, Martin Field. “Many carts are too complex for the beginner, and provide little or no guidance on how to succeed on the Web. Fast Track lays out those steps in a simple, direct manner, and we're excited to offer it.”

MIVA Merchant Fast Track is available as a monthly add-on service via Apollo Hosting's premium shared hosting plans, virtual private servers, and dedicated servers. Apollo Hosting continues to offer the more sophisticated MIVA Merchant 5 shopping cart system for advanced users, providing a full range of ecommerce hosting options to prospective customers.
