OpenCart Community

This just recently started happening to my opencart installation. It is very random and have not been able to find a rhyme or reason as to why this is happening. I will be browsing the website, addng products to my cart. Going into the shopping cart and adding more quantities and removing them then going and adding more products or removing products and then all of a sudden bam everything is gone and the cart is empty. The site is being hosted on Godaddy but am not sure if it is a hosting issue. There has been no changes to the site what so ever so this is very confusing to me.

Looks like it's a session issue, perhaps online session timing out too quickly.

I can repeat what I have said many times before: don't use Godaddy, use a better webhost instead!

In Motion Hosting or Host Gator for shared (not that I would ever recommend shared for any ecommerce) If you choose VPS or Dedicated use this post as a guide: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=67805

Im still trying to figure out why all of a sudden I am having an issue now and it was fine before.. maybe godaddy changed something in its settings?

With shared hosting like Godaddy there are always going to be issues. If you're going to run commerce a vps is really the starting point. You can find workable solutions that start around $30 per month that can easily scale. 1 decent order a month pays for the hosting.
