All those are a must if you are on a mission to grow your PrestsaShop store to its fullest potential. On top of that, you have a developer-friendly environment withGIT & SSH access for experienced users that want to get the most out of their app. All the above and more with the ScalaHosting VPS plans.

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

    PrestaShop hosting plans are optimized for the best possible performance, security, and scalability for online stores. As shared hosting proves insufficient for growing ecommerce websites, ScalaHosting highly recommends a cloud VPS environment.

    Consistent Performance

    The VPS “lives” in the cloud and delivers consistent performance due to the dedicated and guaranteed CPU power, RAM, and storage.

    High Security

    Your PrestaShop site runs in a secure, dedicated, and isolated cloud hosting environment, giving you full control over customizations.

    Scalability

    Additional CPU cores, RAM, and storage space are one click away. Never again lose visitors because your server cannot handle all the incoming web traffic.

  • How do I choose the best PrestaShop hosting provider?

    While there is no single right answer ti 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. Finally, any reliable PrestaShop host should be ready to offer a well-trained team of experts that are always available for assistance, even if you have some technical expertise with the CMS.

  • How to choose the right PreshaShop web hosting plan?

    If you already have an ecommerce store with another hosting provider, you can use it’s current statistics and resource usage as a base of what to look for when switching. As a rule of thumb, always make sure to have more than what you need, both in terms of server resources and security features.
