Jeet Kune Do Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Are anybody hosting or had hosted prestashop on Godaddy.com? I want to know some more information, advantages, disadvantages, problems..... I really whant to try there 4. generation hosting.I contacted the godaddy support and asked for a few questions. They was very kind I don't have nothing to complain.I'm only concerned about the following question:Question # =================I asked: Are there some restrictions in numbers of file I can have on my server? Answer: We do ask that you place no more then 1024 files in a single directory to avoid issues with our file management systems. Beyond this your only restrictions are your account disk space limits.My problem and I think a problem of all prestashopers is that I have more than 8000 files (.jpg) in my img/p folder.But I have only 450 products. Now my question is what should I do next. I want to change hosting provider very badly because my current host (justhost) have a lot of trouble. I'm offline more than once every day. I keep loosing customers every single day. I'm very bored.I really don't understand. I had hosted several account with justhost but with this time I'm very disappointed!!!Right now when I'm writing my server is off (loading, loading, loading). I really have enough after 1 months of writing to they’re support.Could you please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You can try BlueHost, Hostgater, Vodien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Apart form the many many threads on the forum with complains about goddady, and customers who had problems with them, I had one of the worse experiences with their VPS server, I got no help whatsoever to get my server up and ready to go, I kept getting timeouts of my scripts, and after about 20 hours of research into every possible problem, reading their forums and trying to get any sort of support from them, I finally gave up.For small / medium sites, use bluehost (http://www.bluehost.com/track/tomer), I used them for over a year with my shop (and 4 years with some other sites).They offer unlimited space, unlimited domains and data transfer, and have great support.If you have a medium / large site (over 10,000 monthly visitors), you should go for a VPS server, I switched over to inmotion (https://secure1.inmotionhosting.com/cgi-bin/gby/clickthru.cgi?id=tomerg3) about 5 months ago, and I could not be happier, very very fast machines and the fastest live chat support I ever saw.

Jeet Kune Do Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thank you bouth for you answers.I was also thinking about bluehost but the problem is that they don't allow "adult content". I have an erotic shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Inmotion also has regular shared hosting, and I don't believe they have any adult restrictions.I never personally used hostgator, but I know they also allow any website content.

MrBaseball34 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Don't use inmotionhosting, their support is crap and PS doesn't run very good on their servers. We have a dedicated server running 3 shops and am looking at Site5 to move our stuff.IMH also, for some unknown reason, reboots your server at odd times, without warning.We've also run ino times where they restored a old backup and didn't even tell us.

I'm surprised, I have had nothing but good support from them, live chat is on in a second.I had a few issues with a PCI check, and they fixed them right away (BIND9, mysql was open for connections, and not using the latest version of PHP).There are very few hosts that will do things like that as a client's request.I also did not have a single reboot or downtime in the 5 months or so I have been using them.

Jeet Kune Do Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thank you all for your answers!Keep posting. I hope together we could find a great hosting.We should consider: adult content (erotic shop), number of files limitation, CPU usage (10%)...Regards.
