The latest version of True Order Edit (1.0.2) has a custom field for custom shipping amount along with any shipping options in your store already. We don't have a trial period because we didn't build our modules in a way to be "re-called", but I'd recommend checking out the screenshots on it's functionality in the PDF available on the product page under the "Documentation".

I have a client who needs to be able to edit the shipping amount as a textfield, i.e. by typing in a number, overriding any applicable shipping methods.. Does your module handle this scenario? Also - do you have a trial period, or demo of this extension I can try? If you could get back to me on this it would be fantastic :) Hi guys,

]]> Comment on Pushing the limits of Rackspace’s Cloud Hosting for Magento by evan http://blog.delorumcommerce.com/general/pushing-the-limits-of-rackspaces-cloud-hosting-for-magento/comment-page-1#comment-825 evan Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:42:03 +0000 http://blog.delorumcommerce.com/?p=104#comment-825 just got off the phone again. Rackspace confirmed(after talking to 5techs and the last one knew magento extremely well) that cloud servers is the best option bar none. Ofcourse running cloud servers would mean youd have to know what ur doing in terms of setting things up which will be very time consuming at the beginning. It will also depend on how many servers you run and how you set them up eg you could run 1 server for php 1 for html, 1 for sql database, 1 as a proxy/varnish full page cacher and 1 for media (or use cloud files) or you could try all of them in just 1 server or you could let it auto scale etc etc. Cloud server performance is much faster than cloud sites. Cloud server CAN be cheaper but even at $150/mnth(basic cloud site price) youd be getting whopping specs and performance. Another option ofcourse is to have magento hosted on Cloud Site and use Cloud server for Database. This will cost yet more money and really makes cloud sites redudant and silly option. Even rackspace admit Cloud Servers is the best and fast option. This is their own demo store all on cloud servers check performance for yourself. http://174.143.182.185/index.php/ Needless to say with lightspeed it will run veryyy fast. just got off the phone again.

Have you considered also caching/preloading for logged in users? magecache at etapcommerce does just that apparently. In addition for full page caches they also cache all categories and products etc thereby allowing logged in users fast access too.
