Anyone in here run a high traffic store with at least 50.000 uniques per month?

Looking to decided on CS-Cart or Magento on a new store.


I assume nobody has tested 3.0 live yet at this level?


What I need to know is if you can get the cart to run faster than CS-Carts own demo, which is slow. And if it can handle it.

You are alive?

A store that I administrate:

90k visits
61k unique
500k pageviews.

Yes, faster than demo however I'm running on a dedicated server.
Stock CS-Cart doesn't use PHP accelerators or otherwise optimization like CSS/JS compression afaik.

What php accelerator do you use and what compression for cs and js?

Sup Jesse. Still alive I'm afraid.

Care to PM me the url?

Whats the server specs?

Do multiple CPUs help CS-Cart at all?

I may have a really big project starting and I wonder if CS-Cart can handle it. Most stores running CS are small. Magento has pretty big stores under its belt even though it is slow as hell before optimized.

Would love to see CS put sessions in memcached at least.

We have the same question.... We have been using CS-Cart for just over a year now.. We average 15k + visitors a month and have approx. 20,000 products.. We are now having issues with our VPS keeping up.. Hostgator is saying its the software.. ??

Hostgator VPS-5
CPU 2.69
RAM 1824
Disk 80
Bandwidth 1425

Have we truly out grown CS-Cart.. ????

You've outgrown HostGator....
Their VPS's are stock, so you won't get performance gains there whatsoever.

Server specs are not exactly relevant as it's our own hardware.
Multiple CPU's will help, we utilize Intel Xeon variants so most definitely - but it depends on how the server is configured obviously.

Magento is slow as hell, but we're migrating towards Magento due to third-party software offerings.
Send me a PM with your email address, I lost it a while ago.

I have one store running at over 8 GB RAM and it's struggling, so yeah.

Upgrade your VPS or move to another host.

The software optimization plays a big part but CS is starting to become a big package just like Magento and seems to require more if you get your store running.

Hostgator's VPS' aren't that great, in my opinion.

I know a guy that was on a Hostgator VPS. His sites were slow and he was having issues. I could see his stats and could watched is server load in his WHM. The funny thing about it is that even though he had a VPS, it was still only 1 CPU.

After trying numerous things, we moved his site to a Hostgator Dedicated Server and it has been a night and day difference. Where his sites were sluggish and slow, they flat out fly now. Actually the difference was so much that I ended up moving my sites over to a Dedicated Server.

Of course the problem is the cost. If all I had was my store, it would be hard to justify. But, I have lots of other stuff on my server. I'm still not sure if I can justify the cost, but I'm happy with my decision and have no plans to switch back.

By the way, I'm with ServInt, but when it comes to a dedicated server, I don't see much of a difference between ServInt and Hostgator.

I hope all that helps a bit.

Hmm, I'm thinking about also going dedicated. My customer side is actually working really fast, but I could really use some extra speed in my admin site and I'm getting more and more visitors and websites...

[JesseLeeStringer]

Just to make a point here, business perspective.

If you gain more customers frequently, there will be a glass ceiling to income.
If your server cannot handle additional load or provide the same pages to every customer below a certain time ratio then you'll never grow.

Metaphoric seedling can't grow in the most extreme of places, but with a decent soil, sun and care it's possible.
Most people will assume that they've planted it, watered it and wait for it bear fruit - It can be improved!

Convinced. Just ordered a nice dedicated at Futurehosting. Got a great deal during chat too...DUAL PROCESSOR, QUAD CORE SERVERS raid 2 x 250gb 7200, 8gb, fully managed.

Am very curious to see speed difference after moving from a 3gb hybrid vps!

[CarStickersDecals]

Let us know how it turns out. we just went to a dedicated with futurehosting also.. Quad Core and Raid SSD's ... Cannot wait to see the difference in speed...

can cs-cart handle 10k users a day with a dedicated server with 24gb ram what would we need to make this work?

If that's all the information you have, then no way in hell.

We run a db of approx. 14,000 product SKUs on a Cloud Server hosted by Storm on Demand.

8GB Ram, 4 CPU Cores, 600GB Diskspace and automated backups. Best point of all - there are no single points of failure. We don't like the idea of using 1 physical server, should any of the hardware malfunction. With a cloud server, the virtual machine can migrate over to another physical host when one fails.

Load times are super fast, with plenty of room to spare.
