protect a store from blocking

[marina_said]

Hi guys!

I am looking for an alternative to Shopify. My store after developing was blocked with probably no reason (typical situation with Shopify). So I am really afraid what is something goes wrong at the most important moments. That`s why I am looking for an anlternative to Shopify. And I think Magento is smth I am looking for.

So I have a question:

1) Can I protect myself and my store from blocking? I mean can I provide To Magento Team all necessary information (like ID, business info/details and so on...) to get verified and approved before launching to avoid any troubles like blocking my store in the future?

Hi @marina_said,

Can you explain why you think you were blocked?

It seems you're talking about business issue and not a technical one.

@marina_said You don't have to provide anything to Magento.

You are never going to be blocked from Magento end.

It is completely open source.

Thanks

Hello @marina_said 

There are several reasons why you may have been blocked, 

I am not sure you are blocked due to any payment or business issue by shopify.

If you are blocked by Google, then there are chances of malware or virus issue but shopify itself take care of security, so shouldn't be that troublesome.

Anyways, Magento doesn't block or have control to block your website if you use the community version of Magento which is completely open-source. You can download Magento, make website and host and point the domain after development.

Take care of domain and hosting renewal only that's it.
