Magento Community Edition or Magento Go

[suejoh]

Does everyone use Magento Community Edition for e-commerce sites or do some people use products like Magento Go and then customise them as necessary?

If you are small and starting up then Magento Go seems quite a good option.

Any views?
Thanks Sue

Hello
i agree with previos post, that Go version has much more support and some new features, but i really convinced that you can just try Community version. it is free and you won't spent your money in the air. today community version a lot of solved problems and different types of modules, themes and extension which can shop the whole power of this platform.
