MANAGED PRESTASHOP HOSTING

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the benefits of PrestaShop hosting on a Cloud VPS?

  PrestaShop cloud VPS hosting plans come in an isolated environment with dedicated resources. You can easily scale your project up or down, and the security is as sturdy as you can make it.

• What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server for a PrestaShop website?

  Both VPS and dedicated hosting offer clients an isolated environment with resources dedicated to a single client. But while you can easily add or remove things like CPU and RAM on a virtual server, the same will require a full upgrade and account migration when on a dedicated machine. The biggest difference between the two types of web hosting services is the price. While you can easily find a reliable VPS deal for as low as $15-$25/mo, the cheapest dedicated plans easily require over $100 in monthly investments.

• How do I choose the best PrestaShop hosting provider?

  While there is no single right answer to the question "Who is the best PrestaShop hosting provider?", there are some good indications you should look for. For starters, make sure the host offers an environment that is optimized for ecommerce sites. Online stores often require more system resources than standard websites, so you could do with a scalable plan that will allow you to add CPU/RAM on the go.

  You have to ensure your online business is safe enough from malware and web attacks. Be it with some self-developed solution (like ScalaHosting's SShield) or a set of security measures (like SSL certificates) - don't just leave your ecommerce site out in the open.
