id=\"Magento_offers_this_plus_robust_marketing_and_catalog-management_tools\"><\/span>Magento offers this, plus robust marketing and catalog-management tools.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new year is upon us and it promises to be so much better than 2021. The issue for new marketers is always what hosting service platform to use. If they\u2019re looking for answers on web hosting forums, good luck. I\u2019m there every day and I\u2019m amazed at how uninformed some providers are about the system requirements for Magento applications to perform successfully.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_a_typical_query\"><\/span>Here\u2019s a typical query<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m not a programmer, but I&#8217;m trying to run a specific application and found that it requires Magento. I\u2019m currently with XXX hosting provider. Will this be an issue? I only need Magento to use JavaScript, so I\u2019m not sure what to do. In my application, the client won\u2019t actually be purchasing anything from my site, rather simply retrieving data to input on my eBay listing. Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responses to queries like this are all over the place, with many from shills or affiliates selling their wares for commissions. My recommendation is to ask lots of questions from each prospective web hosting provider in order to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_guidelines\"><\/span>Some guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The number of products that you\u2019ll be displaying will have a huge impact on the specifications of the service that you\u2019ll require, specifically in terms of CPU and RAM. As always, it\u2019s always best to ask those who are currently using or have used Magento in their own stores. Where to find those marketers? One of the better places to seek advice is on the Magento Community. Per their recommendation:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amount_of_RAM_needed_based_on_number_of_products\"><\/span>Amount of RAM needed based on number of products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<table style=\"height: 144px;\" width=\"598\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt;200 = 4GB RAM<\/td>\n<td>&lt;100,000 = 32GB RAM<\/td>\n<td>&lt;750,000 = 96GB RAM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt;1,000 = 8GB RAM<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&lt;250,000 = 48GB RAM<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&gt;999,999 = 128GB RAM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt;50,000 = 16GB RAM<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&lt;500,000 = 64GB RAM<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CPU_speed_per_unique_visitors_per_hour_per_core\"><\/span>CPU speed per unique visitors per hour (per core)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<table style=\"height: 64px;\" width=\"460\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt;400 = 2.0Ghz<\/td>\n<td>&lt;800 = 3.0Ghz<\/td>\n<td>&lt;1600 = 4.0Ghz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&lt;600 = 2.5Ghz<\/td>\n<td>&lt;1200 = 3.5Ghz<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shared_platforms\"><\/span>Shared platforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you choose to host on a shared platform, you\u2019ll need to be concerned with exceeding inodes limitations. Be very careful to read each prospective web hosting providers Terms of Services (TOS) to find out what those limitations are. The more products you carry, the greater the odds that you\u2019ll exceed those inode limits.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VPS_or_dedicated_server_platforms\"><\/span>VPS or dedicated server platforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, inode numbers won\u2019t drag your store down if you\u2019re on a VPS or dedicated server platform. These hosting platforms will cost more than shared, but the tradeoff is uptime and site performance. When you\u2019re running an ecommerce application, how much downtime can you afford? How much would a down site cost you in lost sales? I\u2019m guessing hundreds or thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improving_the_performance_of_your_online_store\"><\/span>Improving the performance of your online store<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Online stores are typically chock full of images, and that can adversely affect the performance of the site. Optimizing those images will result in improved response times, in turn reducing shopping cart abandonment.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
