Managed Magento Hosting

Magento is a platform for creating online stores.

You need a special Magento hosting plan to run your online shop.

There are two versions of Magento:

Magento Open Source, which is free but does not include web hosting
Magento Commerce, which costs money but offers more features.

Hosting services provide a server where your store’s files and information are stored.

Store owners should select a Magento hosting company that has experience working with Magento and can provide technical support.

Choosing a reliable hosting company ensures that your store is consistently available and ready for customers.

There are four primary hosting options for Magento websites: shared, VPS, dedicated, and cloud hosting.

Shared hosting involves using a single server and its resources by multiple websites. Although this is a cheap option, it can cause your website to slow down if too much traffic is generated. As Magento requires a significant amount of resources, shared hosting is generally not suitable.

VPS hosting involves partitioning a single server into sections, with each section allocated to a different website. While this option is more reliable than shared In order for Magento to run optimally, it may require additional resources.

Dedicated hosting involves renting an entire server for the exclusive use of a single website. This option provides access to all server resources but requires the setup and management of the server by the user.

Cloud hosting is a server network that hosts a website with the ability to change resources based on website traffic. Cloud hosting also includes hourly backups, providing a useful emergency resource. Cloud hosting tends to be the most flexible and suitable for Magento websites.

A smoother, more reliable Magento store can be achieved with a good hosting environment.

Another advantage of using Magento web hosting is that they are specifically configured for Magento websites operation. This guarantees that there will be enough resources to handle traffic and maintain smooth performance.

Managed Magento hosting includes access to expert technical support, helping with any issues with your store on the application level.

Managed Magento hosting provides flexibility, so you can change your hosting plan based on your requirements.

Managed Magento hosting offers more support and services for the store, like regular or unmanaged Magento hosting.

Some of the additional services managed Magento hosting offers include regular backups, security monitoring, and performance optimization.

Unmanaged hosting or blank servers must be set up and managed on your own. It may be easier to configure a server with hosting experience. You need help with a technical support issue.

Managed Magento hosting makes your website better in many ways. Here are some examples:

Magento requires specific requirements from your server, like the right operating system and the right server-side components.

Without up-to-date components, you run a high risk of getting hacked or having your data compromised.

Multi-server plans allow us to cover larger traffic volumes, providing redundant servers and preventing downtime. These plans are ideal for businesses that need to scale and protect against single points of failure.

Auto-scaling plans are similar to multi-server environments. They can add or remove web servers to handle dynamic workloads. A big benefit of an Auto Scaling environment is that you pay exactly for the consumed infrastructure. It prevents the Magento store from being overwhelmed by peak traffic spikes, often caused by large marketing activities.
