TimeOut has switched to Magento

http://www.timeout.com/shop/

TimeOut traffic stats:

Compete 350,168 monthly US uniques
Quantcast 525,749 monthly US uniques
Alexa rank 5,018

2/3 of TimeOut's traffic is non-US - the total number of global monthly unique visitors is over 1 million.

ZenCart and osCommerce sites couldn't handle that amount of traffic due to the two carts' lack of scalability and sloppy coding.  Magento can handle it.

How difficult is it to switch?  I had to go with osCommerce because my host lacks the necessary PDO_MySQL extention to run Magento.  I'd consider switching if the server is upgraded in the future.

There is an osCommerce import script for Magento.  It still has some bugs though.

Good to know.  So theoretically, if I had another domain name and another hosting account, could my site be 'duplicated' and set up on Magento?  I could have two similar sites on different scripts and play with both??
