05/12/08 - Magento Installer Updated!(1.0.19870)
SimpleHelix.com provides that for their clients.
Is that good e-commerce software?

Depends on what you would like to have or rich on your web site.

I have only read good things about them ! But havent tried it yet ! Will probably do so in the future !

@ OP, if you want to check SimpleHelix.com speed you may try their download file for that. http://www.simplehelix.com/stest/35m.tar.gz

Think it'll show how fast you may load Magento software from them.

You shouldn't forget about the alternatives to Magento: Miva, OsCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento might be slow at times, I think that could be a serious minus.
E-commerce solutions are widely presented on today's hosting market, apollohosting.com, mmhosting.com are just a few names you may start your search from.

Apollohosting.com and MMHosting.com provides a wide range of e-commerce software: Agora, CubCart, Secured SSL, etc. but not many companies that offer Magento as it must be not very easy to run. But still the clients may choose the one they like most of all.
As I see SimpleHelix.com provide shared web hosting plans with resource intensive control panels. They also offer a promo code for their clients - Halfoff. It's a 50% discount on their services.

See not many companies offers Magento but why?
Among MMhosting.com offers I haven't seen this e-commerce software. If these features are included in the shared package plan, can I use them all simultaneously?

There's definitely some good alternatives to Magento

I think that the bquerstion is more related to the web hosting not for the software.

These are reviews for Magento that was released in April, they make me think Magento is one of the best players on e-commerce market.
You will find reviews for Simplehelix.com there as well, they provide one-click Magento installer.

I am actually using Magento with Simplehelix and it seems working good even if I am located in China.

It seems you are a lucky client of SimpleHelix.com.
Being in China and having a nice running of your web site there mean much IMHO.

Wanna add to the above-said that SimpleHelix.com servers are optimized for running e-commerce web sites smoothly. Plus they offer a discount - Halfoff.
