My OSC outdated. Time to switch?

I have 2 Osc webs sites A and B. A has been running for 7 years with 6000 products. B has been running 1.5 years with 1500 products. I have a full time web master plus 20+ full time employees working in my company. We always have things to change in web like creating tools for our admin work, enhance the exiting tools, update SEO, update/create this and that............ The main problem I see is you don't know when the bug comes up. Plus I don't think the web master do a neat work on the coding. This is what makes me feel insecure of my current webs. Not talking about our dedicated server issues. All things can make my sites down. When the site down mean you're losing money.

 

Today someone told me there is a good cart called Bigcommerce. I feel this is a very aggressive shopping cart. With build in Ebay, faccebook, google control and more features that makes your admin work easier and maintenance. Check this out yourself....

 

OSC has tons of plugin but they are not well written and you may need a web master to install for you. Also, fix bug if there is. Is not guarantee working. And you may need to do some tweaking to make it work for you better.

 

Seems to me the Bigcommerce is very a update cart for today's web market. Plus they offer the hosting service together means I can forget the dedicate server taking care myself (good for me). Also, I may fire the my web master and spend his budget of salary asking Bigcommerce to write the code for me if I need custom features (expecting way less bug). One thing they are missing is they don't have integration with Quickbooks enterprise.

 

Do you guys think I should do the switch?

 

Do you think if there is any better shopping cart?

Peter,

 

Consider this.... BigCommerce maintains all rights to your website, you never own it. All content uploaded becomes their property and you don't have FTP access to make changes yourself, all code edits are done by their developers at their rates.

 

 

Edit: You don't need a dedicated server to run osCommerce.
