Magento hosting with room underneath for a serious catalogue

Yes. Every plan is a full-root KVM VPS, so shared-hosting limits do not box you in and Magento gets installed and run precisely as its documentation expects it to be. Pick your own PHP 8.x version, add the extensions Magento wants such as bcmath, ctype, gd, intl and soap, then pull the code in with Composer instead of a restricted uploader. Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce will both run here. Wire up a search engine, OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, and set whatever cron schedule suits indexing and order processing. Holding root means you decide when PHP gets upgraded, when the platform gets patched, what tooling goes on. Nothing here is locked down. Our team keeps the network, the hardware and DDoS protection healthy, while the Magento stack stays yours to tune as the build demands.

Catalogue size is really a memory and search question rather than a disk one. A few hundred simple products sit happily on an entry tier, but once you are into thousands of SKUs with configurable options, layered navigation and faceted search, the search engine and the database begin asking for serious RAM. Rough rule: give Magento at least 4 GB once the catalogue and the caching stack are both busy, and more again if you index often or run heavy imports. Already got a sizeable catalogue? Start on a mid tier, then watch how reindexing and admin pages hold up under load. Pure NVMe storage with dedicated CPU and RAM on every plan keeps product images and category queries quick as the counts climb. Moving up a tier is a couple of clicks and leaves your files, database and configuration exactly in place, which makes right-sizing later easy.

The room is there to run Magento's caching the way it was designed, instead of throttling it into a corner. On a full-root VPS you put Varnish in front for full-page caching, point Redis at sessions and the object cache, and keep compiled PHP hot in OPcache, so a warm storefront or category page returns in milliseconds rather than being rebuilt on every request. Underneath that, pure NVMe storage with guaranteed CPU and RAM means indexing, image processing and database queries never sit waiting on a slow disk or a noisy neighbour. Tune the PHP-FPM pool as well, set a sensible cron schedule for reindexing, split the search engine onto its own service. Dedicated resources mean the speed you measure on a quiet afternoon is the speed shoppers get during a busy sale, not a best-case figure that falls apart under real traffic.

Your Magento install occupies a single-tenant server, with nobody else's accounts alongside it, and that alone strips out an entire class of cross-account risk from the start. Free auto-renewing SSL wraps the storefront and checkout in modern TLS, while DDoS protection at network level helps keep the store reachable when somebody points traffic at it. Root in your hands means the admin path can be hardened, SSH access restricted, PHP and the platform kept patched, and file permissions set the way Magento recommends. Full PCI compliance stays a shared responsibility: most merchants pair Magento with a gateway that tokenises cards, so raw card data never lands on your server, which keeps the paperwork in the simpler SAQ A or A-EP scope. What we supply is a clean, isolated, encrypted foundation to build on. Your gateway, your extensions and your internal processes finish the job, and our team is around for infrastructure and network questions along the way.

Yes. Sign up, open a ticket with your current host's details, and our team helps shift the whole store: Magento codebase, database, media files, plus any custom configuration you have built up. A Magento migration has a fair few moving parts, so we take care to carry across the caching setup, the cron jobs and the search index rather than simply copying files and hoping. Staging on the new server comes first where possible, which lets you click through the storefront, put a test order through and satisfy yourself before anything goes live. Once you are happy, update DNS to aim the domain at the new VPS and switch free SSL on. The copy is already sitting there, so shoppers see little or no downtime. Orders, customers and product data all arrive intact. Mention any unusual extensions early and we will plan around them.

These are self-managed VPS plans, and that is on purpose. Leaving the server unmanaged is exactly what makes root access, custom PHP builds and a tuned caching stack affordable at this price. Everything above the operating system belongs to you: the Magento install, its extensions, the cron jobs, the caching layers and the updates are all yours to configure as the build requires. What we look after is the foundation below that, meaning the physical hardware, the KVM virtualisation, the tier-3 datacentre network and DDoS protection, so the parts you cannot see are not your problem. Support is available 24/7 for infrastructure, provisioning and network questions, and can help you resize a plan or chase down a connectivity fault. Would you rather not administer Magento yourself? Plenty of merchants hand the application layer to a developer or agency while we keep the VPS beneath it fast, online and protected around the clock.

Yes. Magento's multi-website and store-view structure is designed to share one codebase and database, so a single full-root VPS can run several brands or regional storefronts at once, provided you size CPU, RAM and NVMe storage for their combined load. You keep one admin panel and one server to maintain rather than several, and you can move up a tier if the combined traffic outgrows your current plan.

Every VPS plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can install Magento, load your real catalogue and test performance under your own caching setup before deciding it's the right fit. If it isn't, you get a refund within that window rather than being locked into the plan.

Daily backups run on every VPS, so a bad extension install, a failed upgrade or a corrupted import is a restore away rather than a rebuild from scratch. Open a support ticket with the details and our team can help you get a recent, working copy of your store back in place.

Yes. Free managed migration isn't limited to Magento-to-Magento moves — our team can bring products, customers, orders and media across from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or another host, and will flag any extensions or theme customisations that need extra attention before cutover. The new store is staged and tested before DNS changes, so you can confirm everything works first.

Plans are priced in USD, but our checkout uses geo-currency display to automatically show that price converted to your local currency based on where you're browsing from. It's there so merchants and agencies signing up from outside the US see an accurate figure upfront, before entering payment details.
