Interchange works and they have 200-400 sites on 1 server. Imagine what =
would happen if all accounts on that server would setup a catalog and =
start using it.

Before we started hosting we also used several hosting companies that =
feature Interchange as shopping cart. Like Korksoft, they do not offer =
any support for Interchange and many of them charge extra for e.g. to =
setup the Encryption for your e-mail orders. You need Root access to do =
this.

We do offer Interchange on the E-commerce plans and we keep them to a =
max. of 10 per server.=20

So, shop around for a host that knows about Interchange. Ask them a few =
questions (such as extra charges) about the program before signing up. =
This will tell if they know about how Interchange works or not.

  I agree with Nathan. You get what you pay for. I've been using such =

the speed is dramatic (all cost about 10 to 15 US dollars). Sometimes =
it's even not advisable to connect with more than 3 or 4 people =
simultaniously. Absolutely not a situation you want.

  The only company that had good performance so far was Wizardshosting. =

you need for Interchange. You'll have to communicate with them quite =

well.

  I've now made the decision to stop using hosting providers and use my =
own Cable modem connection to host a couple of sites. If you would =
really want to use a hosting provider, pick the ones that have a 30 or =
14 day money-back-garantee and set up the demo store and test like a mad =
man. Then you will see the actual performance.

  Good luck
