It is PHP based, and a self hosted solution. There is an active development community that is constantly growing. You can check out a store demo here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/demo . The reason that Magento is a good e-commerce solution is because it can be skinned to your website design, and it has a professional looking checkout process. The cart integrates with several well known payment gateways like Authorize.net, and Paypal.

Magento has an impressive backend where you can manage your users,stats,pages, products, and much more.

If you are looking for a free shopping cart solution, then I would recommend Magento. It is far supperior to earlier shopping carts like: OScommmerce, Zencart, and others.

However, you can check it out for yourself at http://www.magentocommerce.com/

While in the Trade Show I found a company that hes developed a Content Management System as a foundation upon which your websites can be built.
This caught my attention because as a web developer I am always looking for ways to make it eaiser on my clients, and myself. The VerbCMS system seemed to cover all of the issues that I deal with on a regular basis. I continued to attend an one time training session held by the Founder of the company himself. He went through creating a website using their system, and then proceeeded to take questions, and show everyone in the room how to acheive the answers to their questions.

So to sum it up VerbCMS is a hosted Content Management System, that can be used for secure E-Commerce sites, that allows the web designers to have the freedom to code the site using the proprietary VerbML language, making it possible to gear the backend specifically for each of their clients.

I am using VerbCMS, and I strongly recommend that you check them out: http://verbcms.com/features
