Dedicated Hosting required for a Online store.. Recommendations?

Chandler_90 · 4 Jul 2007 at 20:08

I need some recommendations on some web hosting for a e-commerce site..

We just need something that will support PHP for use with Zen Cart.
Also any pointers on how to setup Zen Cart would be cool as its a bit awkward to set up.

What are the best options?

Thanks,

Ray

check OChostreview

only thing awkard on Zen Cart is the UK customisation, i.e. postcodes rather than zip codes, and stuff like that.

I really recommend Tsohost. They are very reliable and most questions are answered with 15 minutes of sending them. The support is the best I have ever seen. The packages there will be enough to run a online store. They support PHP and have cpanel for full control over your website

if you are after a dedicated server, I suggest dedifast. Blinding support.

Thanks for the rapid response guys.. any more options?

Also with Zen Cart.. are there any useful guides out there.. with the exception of the guide posted on their forums?

I know for a fact that if Vidahost have an automatic installer for Zen Cart. It's the Fantastico system, so it's all pretty much automated .. couple of clicks and it's up and running.

give them a call and ask .. it's a freephone number

I've used Serverstream for my osc hosting for almost 4 years and they're absolutely brilliant. Not the cheapest around but quality of service is excellent.

Been looking for a host also and just came across this one: heart internet
£30 for Unlimited Webspace & Transfer :eek:

Anyone know if this company are any good?

From what i believe they are a reseller, so i dont know if that is something that would be acceptable to yourself.

Looks like i'm gonna need a dedicated server or several of them

Whats the sorta site going to be, I can say, If its massive you want your own server your looking at 100-500 pm for a decent on. If you get some decent hosting you will be ok, Depends what your looking to run, The size off the DB ect..
