I am planning to build a magento installation which will have like 100 multisites at first and then within the next 3 to 5 of months it will reach around 500 sites. Then probably 1000 stores with in an year. The number of products won't increase that much.

So basically I need a good set up on which I can set up this magento store!

  • Yea, so you need quite a lot of tricks to make this work and scale. Out of the box it won't work/load/run.

  • I would caution against so many store views, you will encounter performance problems - Is there a necessary business reason for so many stores?

    Please say you have tested this, because only a handful of people have done it to that level (we know one of them) - due to the way Magento works internally you need enterprise grade hardware, architecture & some serious consultants. You need the high end of these nexcess.net/magento/enterprise-hosting or magento5x.vanquishhosting.com or rackspace.com/knowledge_center/whitepaper/…

  • What about spanning the set up in different servers. Something like this: magento.stackexchange.com/questions/1279/… will it work?

This sounds like a really big project! I am not quite sure if it is reasonable to build a Magento store with so many stores, because scaling may be a big problem here. Although it of course also depends on the number of visits you plan to have. Anyway, you should probably have a look at some form of cloud setup. Amazon Web Services may be a good idea here. You can build big setups with it which scale perfectly. As a reference, you should have a look at this Magento SE question and specifically at the answer and resources of fbrnc.

  • Hi, thanks for replying. The number of visitors will be much less. I was thinking about having 2 dedis. One with SSD for the database and the other for the files and stuff. Anyway I will look into AWS. Thanks.
