TrustpilotHigh Performance eCommerce HostingMost eCommerce websites are highly dynamic. This means that the typical caching approaches to speeding up sites used by most eCommerce web hosts are not possible. So we’ve looked specifically at how to make eCommerce shops perform fast for each visitor and to scale smoothly as traffic grows.Key Dynamic Building Blocks for eCommerceThe high end of our Shared Hosting and our VPS and Dedicated Servers have been configured specifically to support highly dynamic eCommerce shops. The following services and configurations are generally required for all shops:High Performing DatabasesDynamic sites are much more likely to write and read from your databases. A high performing database requires the following three things.NVMe SSD as your Physical Storage: NVMe has up to 10X higher I/O than older SATA SSDs. Having NVMe as your most fundamental storage building block can dramatically increase performance and resilience of your online shop.RAM for Database Buffers and Cache: Modern databases like MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, and Postgres can leverage the fastest storage of all, RAM, for many things. Having sufficient RAM allocated to your database is critical for your eCommerce site performance.Tuned for Specific Uses: Different applications have different profiles. For example, Magento uses its databases differently than WooCommerce does. Having initial configurations built by experts plus the ability to tune from there helps you get the highest performance eCommerce experience.Tuned PHP-FPM and OPcacheDynamic sites need PHP-FPM and OPcache. The more PHP-FPM processes (called workers) the more the site can handle. OPcache keeps your PHP code already compiled in the OPcache pool.High Number of PHP-FPM Workers: A high number of workers and dedicated OPcache pools are required as a base but all consume RAM. eCommerce stores typically run from larger servers than non-dynamic sites.Flexible Configurations: For larger sites on VPS and above, we support setting your PHP-FPM workers and OPcache pool specifically. This can optimize your RAM consumption against performance and may keep you from having to upgrade to a larger VPS while getting similar performance.Options to Scale for eCommerce GrowthHaving options as your store grows is critical to smooth operations. Our Shared Pro, Managed VPS, and Dedicated Servers all use cPanel. Transferring up is quite straight forward and does not require extensive learning. Upgrading your hosting plan to a more powerful option just takes a minute. Our UltraStack ONE plans are purpose-built for WordPress and WooCommerce. Explore ApplicationsChat Now TrustpilotSecure Hosting for eCommerceMost eCommerce websites are handling sensitive data. Even if you are transacting sales through a 3rd party, it is important to lock down your eCommerce site to prevent unauthorized access. The following practices can dramatically improve security for ecommerce shops.Server and Application SecurityOn shared hosting we have implemented all or most of these as defaults. With more flexibility, your VPS and Dedicated Servers can have modifications based on your particular needs. We recommend the following:Server Level ProtectionsIn addition to free SSL for connection encryption, we also include:mod_security: Mod_security acts above PHP and your Application. It is part of the Apache webserver and looks at each incoming request to your server. If the request matches the mod_security rule set, the request is instantly blocked and never comes into the server or reaches your PHP.SSH Access Rules: SSH is enabled for Shared and VPS+ accounts. On Shared, you must use a certificate and connect to a non-standard port. This prevents malicious dictionary attacks against your SSH username. On VPS and above, you can use passwords if you prefer, but you must specifically open your firewall on the VPS for your incoming IP address.VPS or Dedicated Options: Large sites are most often running on autonomous systems. If you have certifications like PCI Compliance that are required, then you must run on standalone systems including VPS and Dedicated. Those are building blocks of your overall PCI compliance.PHP Process Attack MitigationWithin our shared hosting, and optionally on VPS and above, we have introduced a security solution from Monarx. This system means within each PHP process there is a module that detects attack signatures as they are attempted to run. In addition, Monarx has file system scanning tools to identify scripts or datasets that indicate a problem has occurred outside of a PHP process.Backup SystemsIt is easy to use our built in backup tools but we also enable you to easily use your own backup tools and processes. A solid backup plan both helps protect you from attack but also protects your eCommerce store from accidents.

What type of hosting do I need for eCommerce? With so many web hosting options available, you may be asking yourself is shared hosting good for eCommerce? Or perhaps VPS? This depends mostly on the size of your eCommerce site.For example, VPS Hosting is ideal for small to medium-sized eCommerce websites which don’t need a ton of resources upfront, but do need room to grow and scale and keep your business up and running during potential traffic spikes. VPS Hosting tends to be an ideal solution for most eCommerce site hosting since it gives you flexible dedicated resources and secure hosting while remaining relatively budget-friendly.Dedicated Servers are better suited for large or complex eCommerce websites with specific server or hardware requirements.
