Hello,
Who can tell me switch is a big cart between cs-cart, x-cart and prestashop?
I want to know switch one as the largest files?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Tom
I have no idea what your asking but I just moved a customer off x-cart to cs-cart and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences ever, anytime I get a chance to help a customer dump x-cart I am all over it - Sno
To download cs-cart, is it a large file?
Using x-cart on a share server, work great. But to use cs-cart on a share server, it don't working good at all.

[/quote]download is a zip file so not large at all.and free version is available here [url=“Download the most feature-rich B2B eCommerce software CS-Cart B2B&B2C”]https://www.cs-cart.com/download-cs-cart.html[/url]
and is easy to install.
Looks like tom437 already uses CSCart…Does he just wants to know what the difference in Carts sizes?
Yes, that's what I want to know.
why would you care? If cart 1 is 1GB and cart 2 is 2GB, what does that have to do with anything? I don't think you're going to make any useful decisions looking at the distribution size. What I think is important to you (since you want to use shared hosting):[list]
[]cpu usage
[]file i/o activity
[*]memory usage
[/list]
None of which can you determine from the size of the distribution.
I think Tom should simply switch hosts 
I have cs-cart running just fine for someone on a 5,95 euro per month shared hosting account. She doesn’t have much visitors or products but it’s running very smooth.
Needless to say, I hope you are planning to make your store a success, after which you’ll have to go with a good host anyway. Better do it now so that upgrades will be easier.
Hello,
I'm on a VPS now, but cs cart always have issues. I have X-CART on the same shared host and I never had any problem with X-cart, that have more products and addons., than cs-cart.
cs cart is the most stable shopping software available…and it runs on shared servers without problems
For some reason I have problems with VPS packages in regards to CS-Cart. I have sites on shared servers that blow away the VPS. We've tried 3 or maybe 4 different host and it was always the same. Right now we have a couple of sites on dedicated server and several others (that have less traffic) on shared hosting packages.
Jim, that makes no sense at all. If you have a VPS with adequate memory and cpu allocated and the host is not killing the underlying server by having it overloaded with VPS's, you should always see better performance from a VPS than a shared server. The primary reason is that in a VPS you have your own file cache where on a shared server it is shared. This is huge for things like mySQL and the file based caching used in cs-cart.
