Magento

hi guys

i need help!! i am creating magento site on godaddy shared hosting. i know magento doesnt run well on godaddy hosting. but some of forums and blog say there are few ways by which magento can run on shared hosting. unforunately it is not happening with me

i have follwed some process to make my site little fast

installed GTMetrix plugin
installed Speedman foodster

when i tried to test my speed on GTmetrix speed is 87% but in real when iT Loads first time it takes more than 20 secs to load and once it load it goes smooth.

i cant afford VDS as of now. so some how i have to manage with shared hosting only. can anyone help me to solve my problem PLEASE!!

P.S i am ready to share my admin details. please help :(

my website: http://www.jamespromoitems.com

i am also on godaddy and my magento is seriously slow.

After reading this post, i knew it wasnt just me so i started doing some research and found that godaddy is just not good enough for magento. I cancelled my hosting with them and signed up with siteground.

they are really good! as soon as i ordred my hosting they rang me within 20 minutes and transferred all my magento store for me! database and all. you can live chat with them and when i open a ticket they answered within 5 minutes!

they say there servers are set up for magento.

My website now loads up within 3 seconds and thats without any tweeking. you can check it out http://www.theshirt.org

also its cheaper!

Hope this helps.

Yer good advice.

Also install the Google Page speed toolbar, it will advise on what needs to be done.

Shared hosting is horrible for Magento. I always recommend Mage Mojo and always will. They ONLY do Magento hosting. Those “fixes” will only get you so far.
