a good hosting for Zencart

Hello, I'm new to Zencart and looking for a good hosting for my shop.
I've experienced two US hosting companies that had Zencart but it didn't install correctly (dreamhost is one of them and I currently use it).
if anyones got some info on good multi-domain hosters that can handle zencart in an easy way, let me know thanks.

Take a peek here :
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=infopages&pages_id=10

yeah, that's what I did before I posted the message... that page is simply... empty! or I just don't see where the links are?

Do you have images disabled in your browser?

There are 5 wide graphic links on the page, linking to certified hosting providers.

Do you have an ad or popup blocker enabled?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

yes, I think that's the problem.

So I checked the offers, some might be interesting.

Now, talking about Fantastico, it contains Zencart, but do they really
update their Zencart? I read some posts somewhere and it said
Zencart wouldn't be updated so often on Fantastico and wouldn't
work all the time.

Re: a good hosting for Zencart

Fantastico install does not normally include sample shopping cart, which
gives demos of how to install different attributes i.e. downloads etc..
big minus point over installing manually using zencart official download.

:smile:... it also tends to tag behind the current release, especially at times like now when there's only just been a brand new release.

Some of the hosts listed above will install Zen Cart for free, and as certified Zen Cart hosts I rather hope that all wouldn't dream of giving anything but the latest version.

Re: a good hosting for Zencart

it's also worth noting that the Fantastico "upgrader" script cannot be trusted. When it comes time to do an upgrade, if you have made any customizations to your site, DO NOT UPGRADE VIA FANTASTICO. Do it manually.
