Hello everyone,
I’m currently preparing to install nopCommerce for a new online store and would like some advice regarding the best hosting and configuration setup.
I understand that the platform requires proper server configuration (database setup, .NET runtime, and hosting environment) before running the installation process, and once everything is configured correctly the store can be installed and accessed normally.
Before I proceed further, I wanted to ask the community a few questions:
What hosting environment do you recommend for better performance — Windows hosting with IIS or Linux hosting with NGINX?
For a small to medium store, what server specifications (RAM / CPU) have worked well for you?
Are there any configuration steps that beginners commonly miss during the installation process?
I’m trying to make sure the installation is smooth and scalable from the start. Any tips, recommendations, or real-world experiences would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your guidance! 😊
