E-Commerce Site

[Ridge_N]

Hi myBBers

A quick question.
I'm a freelance web developer. I have a start up that I'm creating, and looking to order a hosting account to link to shopify.

How many mySQL databases does a startup e-commerce site need?

Thanks in advance .

This belongs under the software dev section

Why that section?

Get a virtual server and set it up yourself (not that hard these days to get Apache, MySQL etc. going), that way you can have as many databases as you want. You can also set up Cpanel or get somebody to do it for you.

Is Xampp good? And if so, will I need to build a computer for the server?

The questions you're asking don't make it seem like you're a web dev.

This section is to advertise IT Jobs. Employers etc.

Don't know if Xampp is good, but it seems so. I usually set everything up separately. A virtual server does not require your own box, it is a virtual machine running an OS you usually choose from a set list of options. If you are completely new to the arena it may be best to go for a hosting package after-all unless you can get somebody to help you with the initial setup.

I'm not advertising a job. I'm simply looking for advice and help.

Okay. Thanks for the advice.

To get back to your question, start small, 5 DB's or so. You can ask your hosting service to retain your implementations when upgrading.

To be specific, I'm a front-end developer. I don't work with server side stuff.

Thanks, I'll definitely do that.

I know that. Everyone else knows that.

You asked why that section in Post 3.

Ask a mod to move the thread to the relevant section.

I don't foresee you needing more than 1 database.

Ahh okay. Using LAMP stack you'll need to configure it yourself on a VPS. I personally use WAMP locally to test.

Would it not be cheaper to get a reseller hosting package?

I guess so. But Afrihost offers good prices. I'll compare and see how it goes.

link hosting to another hosting provider?
