THE eCommerce wars are hotter than ever now that the free open sourced Magento eCommerce platform (features) has come onto the scene with a bang. Heck, they’ve amassed over 750,000+ downloads already over a 2 year period. Amazing!! This is gonna put lots of pressure on paid solutions like CubeCart, CREreloaded, and SquirrelCart. Even the free ZenCart and OSCommerce product offerings are gonna have to deliver the eCommerce software goods nicely, or these projects just might lose momentum. Advantage: YOU the consumer.
Anyhow, the $64,000 question for me is this: Does Magento run well on a shared server hosting platform like HostGator? I know it’s a bulky piece of software and early betas were sloow like a dog – even on a dedicated server. But I’ve heard that they’ve really polished things up now, and imporoved the code to make things more efficient. If anyone has taken it for a spin on a shared hosting server, do let me know.
