susan767 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi, I'm shopping around to find a right hosting service, and learned that some place restrictions on the number of MySQL databases provided. Unfortunately, I have no idea what "one MySQL database" means. (Is my memberlist one database, product catalog another and inventories a third??) I would appreciate it if someone can advise me how many MySQL databases I would need to implement my OSCommerce store. I just need to operate a single store with about 1,000 items and plan to do nothing else with the hosting service. Is it just one? Lastly, some also restrict the number of subdomains to 20~30 for basic shared hosting services. Do I need to worry about this too? Thanks a bunch, Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhande Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hey Susan, To run an osCommerce shop you only need one database and no need for subdomains. What you should look for: Linux operating system MySQL 5 PHP 5 Email account Ability to add an SSL certificate Access to your hosted account, such as through cPanel Any bandwidth limitations Take a look at Bluehost.com ;) - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
