Magento store hosting, technical help?
 

For quite some time I had this feeling that my online store’s response time was deteriorating, the only reason I could blame for the downturn in the monthly receipts and high bounce rate. I know I’m partly responsible for the negligence, but really I wasn’t aware of the full potential of my Magento store. I had no benchmark or even what “perfect” looked like.

First impression: I tried [spam] for three days of free trial and they seemed to know what they were doing. After a few clicks,my store was setup and I was really impressed by the performance of my store.

Right now, I feel like my store’s progressed. There’s no way the speed could have improved without the touch of an expert. After being fully satisfied, I’ve moved myself to a paid account.

Since this was a spammer, not spending much time to respond.
However, it does bring up some good points...

And that point is this: Magento is a resource hog. It hates shared environments. It even hates lower-spec VPS. Magento installs more than 10k+ files, and that's not even including any products. It eats I/O, it eats CPU, it eats RAM. It's slow to unusable on shared, and quickly runs into resource limits. Hosts either make you upgrade, or kick you off.

Magento needs a very optimized platform.

- Either shared hosting specificaly made for Magneto: Nexcess
- Or managed VPS/dedicated tweak to the needs of Magento: Liquidweb, Knownhost, InMotion, etc.
- Or just a good unmanaged box if you can tweak it yourself: IOzoom, Namecheap, etc
