This web page is an often good place to start for some quick answers about products, aquarium/pond keeping, and why AAP is designed the way it is www.americanaquariumproducts.com/FAQ.htmlHere is an excerpt: " Why AAP does not use popular Magento E-commerce Platform?
We chose to use a platform designed by web and computer tech guru Mitch Cohen which is based on eBay and the PayPal e-commerce platforms. We continue to use this as we believe it lends itself to our content rich website much better then the popular Magento ecommerce platforms.
As well it is also much more secure, as borne out by recent hacks of customer private information at Bulk Reef Supply and others that use this selling platform (this point is about the web site platform, not the web sites using it). Reference: Bulk Reef Supply Security Breach
In fact the SiteRightNow tech guru provides one of the most secure sites for AAP, which includes blocking pinging of AAP to prevent DoS attacks. AAP is more secure than Amazon and most of the vastly bigger web sites, so while AAP may not be as user friendly as some sites (including Amazon), you will not find a safer place to purchase than AAP! Reference: Wikipedia; DoS attack
Finally, why should we be like everyone else when our content is also very unique? Google was successful early on because they were different."
