The e-commerce space is packed with competition. While behemoths such as Amazon and Walmart dominate online shopping, smaller players such as Shopify and Etsy have proven to be formidable players in the e-commerce realm.

One alternative to Shopify that I like is GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) , which was recently added to the S&P 500 .
