Slow Site

mthem2003:

quick question: which of the hosting companies will allow me to store credit card information so that i can process then offline?

thanks

No one in their right mind would want to assist you in storing credit card information on their server ... good way to help hackers buy new toys, cars and shoes ... :eek:

Re: Slow Site

but this is very unstable service godaddy has.. there are other websites, whether you access on low or high in the day.. it is always fast! .. and they are not in a dedicated server!!

does switching to a dedicated server the best way to go ? because i am planning to double the number of items i will have on the site.. that will be over 25000 pictures !!.. the last thing i need is a flaky service

Re: Slow Site

You don't necessarily need a dedicated server.
You just need a well-tuned server.

Talk to some of the certified hosts. Ask if they will show you some sites of clients who have 25000 products. Visit the sites and see how well they perform.
