Hide-Nene Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 My Prestashop store is currently hosted by SiteGround with their shared hosting plan. We have trouble of always receiving "504 Gateway Time-out error" while uploading products using csv file contains a hundred products or more. After contacting SiteGround's Help Desk, I was told that I reached the Apache timeout limit of 30 seconds and the setting cannot be changed with the current hosting plan and was recommended VPS plans (starting from $70 a month). Do you have any recommendation of good web-hosting company and its plans which can allow me to upload csv file of more than 1,000 products? I use innoDB, so it is a must condition,too. Thank you for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generaal Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Hello Hide-Nene, I have strungled with the same probs on a shared host. Past weekend I was went to another host company for a vps host server. They have done a great job for me! Move all my data and PrestaShop files from the shared hosting to the new VPS.

BlueIzumi Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Can also try http://www.hostgator.com/ I have been through a lot of hosting sites. I can say 100% for sure not to do InMotion. It's like talking to people who don't have a clue. http://www.bluehost.com/ is okay but they are limited in what they know and what they can do. I can go on I've tried at least 8 companies -,-. I have spoken with HostGater and might be switching there soon they also are supposed to move your products as well as they are in English and use US currency if you're in the US if you're not I recommend the one above <3. As well as my friend who works with php recommends it. Goodluck Edit: Found the US site for the other <3 TY <3 I will keep it in mind too http://www.hostdeal.com Edited July 3, 2013 by BlueIzumi (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaCoder.com Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you're looking for managed VPS servers I can recommend wiredtree.com, servint.com, knownhost.com (all of this are on US) for seo proposes, you may need to consider a server located on your country (if you don't have a ccTLD domain) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hide-Nene Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thank you for your advises! More information on my store. I am located in Japan, but the target is US. Considering the geolocations of me and customers, I prefer a hosting company in the West Coast in US. And I am planning to manage more than 200-300K products. Should I have my store hosted by a shared or VPS? Any further advices will be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaCoder.com Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) For 200K - 300K products, you should go with a dedicated server (a stronger one), I don't think a VPS will handle it, shared is not a viable option for 1k products. Just think that at a point you will need to regenerate images for your shop, regenerating 1M+ images (let's say you have 3-4 images per product) is not an easy job. But why not split those number of products on multiple shops? Thank you for your advises! More information on my store. I am located in Japan, but the target is US.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 one important thing to consider when choosing your hosting provider, and that is your IP address and which country it is associated to. search engines take into account the url's IP country when calculating seo, so lets say your primary business is in Germany but you are being hosted in the eeuu with an eeuu IP, this will affect your seo. you can ask hosting providers if they can supply an IP for your primary country. Note: you can circumvent the IP issue by using a ccTLD, i.e. yoururl.fr (france) for example 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
