2 questions about new OpenCart installation?

Hello, all!

I am new to OpenCart, I used it just 1 or 2 times before.
Now I am going to install it in a new hosting and to use it for PCs and PC accessories store.

I have two questions, please, help me.

1. I will use this hosting, probably Mini plan - is it enough to run OC with 2 languages and about over 1000 products? Or I should choose higher plan? Or I can update it later if resources are not enough?
2. I want to use some kind of plugin to read and import products into the OC shop automatically /reading new products from vendor's websites XMLs/ - is it possible and which plugin should I use?
Can I make it to run automatically with some cron tab / cron job - I asked the hosting and they told me that they suport sron tab tasks.
Thanx everybody in advance.

Boris
