Partners helping partners – Mike Masin of ATStuff.com Helping
I wanted to take the time to write about an experience YourHost.com had with Mike Maison of ATStuff.com. Yesterday, YourHost.com had a current 8year plus hosted customer that needed to update his UPS shipping code so they could perform live calculated and negotiated UPS rates for it’s customer. I contacted him and he called the next day which was awesome. We have an in-house programmer and before I turned it over to him, we were asking Mike if he could share some direction so our in-house API programmer Josh Duffy, had a solid proven starting point or direction to apply the API to our ShopSite Pro customer.
Behind the scenes – Mike was Referred the “Mr. Wonderful”, Guy Pribyl of ShopSite. Mike graciously gave of his time to assist us with a direction to go so we could return a concise solution for our customer. In addition, Mike and would not take a compensation in exchange and has set the bar for coder ethics in a somewhat selfish “whats in it for me?” world.
YourHost.com looks forward to returning the favor and hopes this post will return new clients to Mikes business.
Thank you Mike, Look for him in the ShopSite partner

ShopSite stil holding its own SP2 New Features
Is Shopsite still the best platform? We can all agree that this answer is yes. If you have known YourHost.com management and staff for any amount of time, you know that we do not stick our heads in the sand when it comes to shopping carts and what new technology has to offer. ShopSite continues to be a steady and stable ecommerce tool .
Over the past 15 years, others systems have come and gone. Some stick, but have their challenges.
ShopSite is like the Tortoise and the Hare in its offerings and it still stands out.
YouHost.com staff is continuously getting feedback from it’s customers and from our YourHost.com internal design staff as to what we would like to see improved.
We are fully aware that ShopSite could use a short list of items and we are working with ShopSite to improve.
One of the big improvements we have seen in the past updates is templates (request a peak from tech), especially in the new release SP2 that is coming in a few weeks. Learn More…

Shipping API for 10x , Free Shipping , Weight vs. Price
Many of our customers have asked for a way to allow for Free shipping based on a combination of purchasing metrics.
Issue – Free shipping up to a certain weight and price for single and multiple items. Over that threshold, which was 20lbs, they charge the customer based on matrixed parameters. The parameters they were looking for was Free shipping as long as the total combined weight was under 20 lbs. They needed a way to control shipping cost on items by combined weight.
Solution -
YourHost.com programmers made an addon-module that will allow the store owner to get a wide variation of weight, zip, dollar amount to calculate shipping, and more.
