eShox 3 Product Literature:
eShox3 is the most complete PHP Ecommerce solution available. With
installation taking less than 15 minutes, you’ll have your shop ready in

programming, no special hardware or software required.

eShox uses highly reliable UNIX technologies for maximum performance and
reliability; is fully compatible with WebSTAR V and Apache Web server
software; and can be hosted on virtually any server capable of running PHP
and MySQL.
