Normally, developing ecommerce in-house or using off-the-shelf software requires the purchasing of secure Internet and database servers, digital certificates, monitoring software, security systems, payment gateway, and a range of computer and networking hardware. In addition, there is staffing cost for design, development, management, and maintenance, monthly costs of colocation hosting, bandwidth, and secure building, and of course the costs due to delay in development, time-to-market, etc.
