Magento hosting for small and medium-sized shops
Magento needs more than standard web hosting. What a Magento server should provide and what my managed hosting includes.
Magento needs more from a server than a simple website. That is why many small shops run either on packages that are too weak or on expensive setups that are oversized for them. I offer managed hosting for shops I look after technically anyway.
What a Magento server should provide
- current versions of PHP, MySQL or MariaDB, OpenSearch and Redis that Magento supports
- enough memory for indexers and cron jobs, not just for page views
- a page cache (Varnish or the built-in one) so the shop stays fast under load
- backups that run regularly and have been shown to restore
What my hosting includes
- servers that I set up and maintain for Magento
- daily backups
- automated uptime monitoring
- TLS certificates
- operating system and service updates in agreed maintenance windows
The advantage: when something does not work, there is no discussion about whether it is the server or the shop. I take care of both.
Moving
If your shop is hosted elsewhere, I take care of the move. I set up the new server in advance and test the shop there. The actual switch then only needs a short maintenance window agreed in advance.
If you are thinking about switching, write to me where your shop is hosted today and how large it is.
