Thank you Kevin and all the guys who left replies… this page is very useful for everyone who’s testing Magento right now and pondering about switching from another ecommerce solution.

Thanks a lot for the great article Kevin and to all who commented on it as well!

I read somewhere and I believe someone also told me that Magento can now be hosted on Amazon’s cloud. Does anyone know if this is true, and if yes, would it actually speed up the software to host it on the cloud?

Hi Kevin, Thanks so much for this article. Both that and the comments have helped me tremendously. The comment you posted on March 11, 2009 was cut off and I am dying to read it. That person asked the questions I need answered! ; )

I have a small website that is ready for the next step but I want to take the next step preparing for the following 2. Hence why I am looking at Magento and the Enterprise Edition… I am in love with what they say it can do. But the cost is high for a smaller company and the risk seems higher.

Any updated thoughts would be greated appreciated.

For a small non-profit organization that just wants to collect payment for membership via their web page, would you still recommend magento over osCommerce? (And are either set-up to do simple collection like that?)

This was a good post to read when I was originally looking into Magento. I decided to go for it and have done an analysis of the system here:

I am looking for review about Magento, I heard there is a numbers of bad comments, however one of my development partner highly recommend Magenta. Anyway thanks for the review t least I will take a deeper thought before implementing using this.

I found this very very useful. I am looking into something with magento, however I don’t have a huge amount of products to sell. I am going to do a lot of research so that when I am ready, I’ll hopefully know how the install goes.

Wondering if there are links out to forums and other blogs about it

Hi,
First off Thanks Kevin for the post and everybodys input. It is always great to hear everybodys thoughts and opinions.

Ok so I dont know anything about programming (except what I teach myself and that dosn’t even scratch the cover of programing and designing)

I am working on getting some one hired through Elance.com to design and program my shopping cart site.

Basically I have a some one that insist on CubeCart than I have another one that insist on OScommerce + ZenCart and another for Magento.

If I am looking for the best SEO Google Friendly cart that sells products to an older age market what should I look into? I can learn the back end if needed if it’s not EXTREAMLY complicated if it means a more friendly SEO. ALSO I have been shopping for hosting aswell.

Kevin if you have a personal recomendation for hosting that would be great! My site will grow to have approx 10,000 – 15,000 visits a month with as basic design as possible.

Anyway thanks again
Jon S.
