  1. Excellent tuto, and by the way nice blog. Thanks for sharing.

  2. nice tutorial
    what about performance? i have heard magento is demanding

    • Magento is not as taxing on servers as a lot of people would have you believe. It works just fine on a larger shared hosting package like our ecommerce plan. Honestly, I think a lot of web hosting companies have mislead people into believing that they MUST have a dedicated server if they’re using Magento, but that just hasn’t been true in our experience. Glad you like the tutorial! Hope you give Magento a try!

  3. I love Magento. My business partners and I are setting up some new ecommerce websites after working for a large corporation that spent millions a year on Microsoft platforms that had to be constantly customized to what we wanted. Magento offers almost everything we need at no cost, and of the features it doesn’t have yet, many are being developed by the community already. Open source solutions are the way of the future and I wish more big companies would realize that!

  4. Thanks, been playing around with Magento, and now have a client wants an eCommerce solution. The install was dead easy, now the fun part – configuring.

  5. nice tutorial. This is great.
