Hello,
This is my first topic here and mostly will ask a lot during the coming period. Firstly, I thought a lot about hosting and found Hostinger is good for me regarding the pricing as well as the VPS specs (KVM8) with 8 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe disk space and 32 TB bandwidth , just for the first period , I was told that this plan can handle 1000 concurrent active users and more than 500k monthly visitors, right ??
using cloudflare CDN for sure
Saw on the internet a lot negative feedbacks but also a lot of positive , cannot decide and thought that I can ask you here for sharing thoughts
I just got the CS-CART access today, so any thoughts/advices for the first days would be helpful for sure (steps/plan/ do that then that and s on)
Hello Sarah, loading on your website can’t be based only on the count of users online. Yes, this is a very important parameter, but loading with 10 or 1kk SKU is very different. We have a lot of experience with CS-Cart support and we can help you find the most optimal plan for your loading. Fully Managed Cs-cart SSD Cloud VPS Hosting
Thanks a lot Zahid for your info, yes, it should depend on several parameters but as long as it is a new project, so I will choose a reasonable plan that can be scalable in the near future, so I am thinking now of netcup server or Hetzner , what do u think?
Yes, we use servers on Hetzner and this is a great data center, but you receive only hardware without support and server tune, this is only a small part of the needed for a successful setup. We made infrastructure for optimizing, controlling, detecting, and preventing problems that are needed for e-commerce solutions. Sure, you can do some of this on your dedicated server, and sure, you can take additional servers for external services like backups, but I’m not sure that this will be cheap.
I’m a zahid client for last few years, after several different hosting services used, some are much more expensive than zahid, i can say that there are no one better for cs-cart sites with any number of users, and their service quality and speed is the best i’ve experienced.
