Created By Varien, Magento E-commerce Solution is undeniably the most robust open source E-commerce solution created to-date. Supporting an unlimited number of products, multiple stores with different pricing structures, multiple languages, I-phone enabled, modules to handle shipping, taxation, and numerous other features. Varien seems to have thought of everything when it comes to E-commerce.
Unfortunately with such a robust package comes an increased size resulting in slower load times and higher server demands. Thus the cost of hosting this solution starts at 1,000.00 annually and can increase depending on the needs of your specific site to over 20,000.00 annually it is for this reason and this reason alone that we are not currently recommending this option. We will continue to monitor the progress of this project in the hopes of seeing more compact coding allowing for reduced server demands.
