Thinking about dedi for E-Commerce

CrEsT · March 1st, 2005, 7:56 PM

Hi,

I'm currently hosted as a reseller, one of my customers has a project, he wants an online store. He has 3,000 products and we obviously don't know how heavy the traffic will be.

So I have a couple of questions for you:
1.- Do you think the P4 server with 512MB and dual HD would be enough to handle a medium-sized store?
2.- Which software would you recommend as a complete suite for e-business? I've been looking at X-cart and comdevweb's e-commerce solution.

Regards!

Moving this to the dedicated thread, because you'll get better attention there.

1. No, I would say atleast 1.5 gigs of ram for that many items. If your client can afford more get 2gb.

2. Don't know but you can look at sourceforge.net for more options.

Thanks for your reply

Yes, Ram is really important, I'll talk about that with my customer.

What do you think about the processor? Pentium IV would be ok?

Yeah the P4 should be fine.

many people run stores in shared hosting. Look at Mambo-phpshop.net for a plugin shop that integrates with Mambo.
