I run on bigcommerce, but the new pricing isn't as good as I am paying.
We tried several others and it was such a pain to use them and/or they were
missing features that when I found bigcommerce and it just worked, that's
what we stuck with.   Recently, they've been removing various features
(mostly all the useful reports), and wanting you to upgrade to get the "new
improved version" of them.   Fortunately, I use shipstation as a shipping
platform which is going just the other way - I can run all the reports over
there.

But... I'm seriously considering moving to WordPress+Woo Commerce.   Mainly
for the WordPress integration since we're going to need a CMS soon for
corporate reasons.

If you care about 'too big to fail', see

Note that Magento (the top market share) was one which we found just too
cumbersome to use.

Don't discount just adding your products to amazon and the like.
