Default Oscommerce Users read this! and hostgator staff :)

Hi All

Well i bow my head in shame, i was very quick to post my complaints about hostgator, when infact some of the problems was infact caused by my site as i found out today.

For that i apologise, and which to suggest to anyone who has a Average size oscommerce store, to use the oscommerce forums, and perhaps invest in a book, I spent near $3000 on trying to get my site fixed and it still wasnt doing what i wanted then after talking to an oscommerce forum member, purchased:

This Book!
http://www.packtpub.com/inside_oscom...d/200906cwe7wm

It is SO SO SO simple to use (i purchased the ebook shows in cart once u add the book!).

This improoved my site speed by almost 5000% we have a massive 400k products and this we thought was too big for Hostgator servers it wasnt, as we later found out, however the change was made to a new server, BUT we are launching a new site with other products and have decided to keep our account with hostgator for the forseeable future.

This isnt SPAM just my way of saying sorry and to stop others from wasting money when all you need is to get this book, there is other books available as well, but this was the only one i needed.

I pop on these forums regualr now, so shout if u need any help with the book.

Happy site building Guys

Once again Host Gator and Staff i apologise for Jumping The Gun.

400,000 products? Isn't that more SKUs than Wal-Mart?

I believe the post is more of a buy my book scam than anything.

I had to use some willpower not to observe that setting up the warehouses, material handling system, distribution and procurement to handle those 400,000 SKUs must have eaten up some of the resources that would otherwise have made the transition to e-commerce a little less stressful than apparently it was.
