Can anyone tell me the best hosting company for open cart and the requirements needed. Is shared hosting ok? I will only have about 500 items in my ecommerce site and was thinking about using Godaddy, any suggestions?
Do you have any particular location in mind ? I think you can get many seasonal offers at lowendbox that can help you find a good host as per your requirements.
First of all which location do you want to target? It's best to choose a hosting that is not to far away from that location. Second, for open cart almost all paid hosting with php and database will do it, take in consideration the bandwitth as it is the main limitation, also as you onlinestore will grow you want to make sure your website stay up. I won't give any name, just type on google open cart hosting, then before choosing one make some research about the hosting company, if you find to much negative review than leave it, there are enough hosting companies with almost null negative review. Best regards.
