A 50 item store with 50 visitors a day should run just fine on a 256MB vps. Webfaction is a bit of a hybrid and I've heard mixed results on how well Satchmo runs on it. I will say that if you must go shared, then webfaction probably a good choice and their 200MB plan should be more than sufficient."
I'm putting together a website for some friends who run a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) operation in western Wisconsin, and was looking at Satchmo to see if it might be a good base. So far I like it, but that's >$30 per month (at least), whereas I have a Pinax app of roughly the same size running fine on an 80MB Webfaction account (<$10 per month). A CSA would have fewer than 50 products and fewer than 50 visitors. And they are not big money-makers, just getting by. So, any good ways to slim down Satchmo? Or should I start rolling my own ecommerce app? Or how about incorporating some lighter-weight components of Satchmo in a Pinax-style reusable app project? (Just looking for suggestions, I'll figure something out.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
