How many files in magento?

Question

I am new to Magento. According to other sites, Magento seems to be the best open source store software. Does anyone know how much files are in the latest Magento?

My hosting provider has a limit of 20000 inodes, so I need to know if I need to upgrade my plan or not.

Answer 1

out of my head, magento can easily reach 13.000 files/folders. each product image creates multiple files for caching purposes. theres also other caches. I suggets you find yourself a hosting company who knows a thing or 2 about hosting magento webshops becouse it really needs some good hosting to be able to deliver good performance. About the 20k inodes, youll reach it pretty quickly is my guess, depends on the shop ofcourse.

My answer, go look for a magento specialized hosting company to get the maximum performance out of your webshop.

Answer 2
