[ManFromDet]

I've been using X-Cart since June or July, 2003. 4.0.9 will be my third version used "live". Rather than perform periodic upgrades, I've stuck with what seems to be a stable version at the time and ran with it until newer (stable) versions were released.

I've never been brave enough to perform periodic upgrades. That would've meant spending more time maintaining software rather than concentrating on my buisiness. I simply (clean) install the newer version on a different server, configure and customize, move my data, and then transfer my domain with the host.

Any other strategy for my business - as it is, specifically using X-Cart - would do more harm than good.
