I am wondering just what it takes to host one or more Satchmo stores. Here's some rules of thumb that I am using. These are the guesses of an inexperienced developer (me) , so I'm hoping for corrections or amplifications.
A typical Satchmo store, for the purposes of these rules, is a single- location brick-and-mortar store or a home business with maybe 100-1000 products. 1- Using a shared hosting account is iffy. Performance may vary wildly depending on the host's policies and the other sharers.Perhaps acceptable for a personal store but not for one sold to others. 2- On the VPS, the most serious requirement is likely to be the amount of dedicated ram. A store should have about 160 KB, so 256Kb is sufficient for a store, and 128k may be ok for small stores and low traffic. 3- Multiple stores using the 'multi-store' module requires relatively little extra memory. Assume up to 6 stores with 256k ram, and 16 with 512k 4- Multiple individual stores should have about 60k ram per additional store, so a 256k VPS could host 2 stores, and a 512k VPS could host about 7 stores. Am I wildly off-base here? Does someone have a better approach to figuring the hosting resources required?
