PrestaShop ™ hosting

A PrestaShop hosting is a hosting solution specially designed and optimized to run the PrestaShop CMS, one of the world's leading platforms for creating e-commerce sites. This type of hosting is based on a Linux operating system, integrated with a PHP interpreter and a MySQL database, served by an Apache or NGINX web server.

Specific PrestaShop hostings go beyond simple PrestaShop compatibility. They are designed with server-side configurations that leverage enterprise-grade caches, such as Varnish. This use of high-level caching follows best system practices to ensure maximum web performance. These are solutions designed to optimize the efficiency and speed of your PrestaShop site, guaranteeing your users a smooth and trouble-free experience.

Another fundamental aspect of PrestaShop hosting is system assistance. Our technicians are experts in all things PrestaShop and can handle a wide range of common situations and problems. This level of specialization ensures that your site is always in the hands of experienced professionals, capable of quickly resolving any issues that may arise.

Finally, we paid particular attention to timeout-level configurations for cache and webserver. These technical details, often overlooked, are essential to ensure correct interfacing with management systems and for importing catalogues. With our careful setup, we can ensure that your PrestaShop site works effectively and reliably, whatever your e-commerce needs.

Yes, our hosting is especially specific for production sites. We currently have hundreds of Prestashop sites running correctly and at the best performance on the market.

ManagedServer offers wide compatibility with all Prestashop versions thanks to our flexible hosting environment configuration. We are able to support a wide range of PHP versions, starting from 5.3 up to 8.1 and higher. This allows us to ensure broad compatibility with all Prestashop versions, ensuring that your site runs smoothly no matter which PHP or Prestashop version you are using.

We are not only limited to support all versions of Prestashop but we are especially dedicated to support 1.7 and 1.8 versions. We recognize that these releases are widely used and bring with them their own unique set of challenges and features. For this reason, our team of experts is particularly careful in monitoring and optimizing the performance of sites using these Prestashop versions.

No matter which version of Prestashop you are using, with ManagedServer, you can expect an optimized and dedicated hosting service that fits your specific needs. Our goal is to offer you a superior Prestashop hosting experience, which allows you to make the most of your e-commerce.

Our technology and our specific software stack for Prestashop is designed and tested to withstand over 10000 users per minute based on the application efficiency and the plugins used. Nominally and contractually, we guarantee 2000 users per minute on cached pages, although we have managed peaks of over 15000 users per minute without requiring additional costs from the customer who owns the Prestashop site hosted by us.

We have managed important events such as commercials that referred to Prestashop sites with traffic peaks of over 15 thousand users per minute without crashes or downtime.

Our hosting infrastructure is designed to be flexible and able to accommodate a wide range of needs. For this, we use different locations to ensure maximum performance and safety.

The majority of our infrastructure, more than 95%, is located and managed in Germany and Finland, two countries known for their strict adherence to privacy and data security regulations. This decision makes it possible to guarantee high reliability and excellent connection speed, also thanks to the presence of high-quality data centers and their strategic position.

In addition to these locations, we also have a small portion of our managed infrastructure in Italy. This allows us to provide an even more personalized and high-performance service for customers operating in this market.

All of our data centers, regardless of their location, are Tier V level and are ISO 27001 certified. This means they meet the highest standards of reliability and security in the data center industry. Furthermore, they fully comply with the requirements of the GDPR and other data security regulations, ensuring that your data is always handled in a secure and privacy-friendly way.

Bottom line, regardless of your location or your specific needs, you can rest assured that your hosting infrastructure will be managed with the highest level of professionalism, security and respect for privacy.

Managed Server has designed and developed a proprietary technology stack, specifically designed to optimize the performance of PrestaShop installations. This stack incorporates a number of advanced technologies, including Zend OpCache, Memcache and Redis.io as Object Storage, as well as Varnish as server-side Full Page Cache.

Zend OpCache is a powerful PHP accelerator that improves script execution performance, while Memcache is a general memory caching system used to speed up dynamic web applications by reducing database load. Redis.io, like Object Storage, is an in-memory storage tool that improves the speed and efficiency of data management. Finally, Varnish acts as a server-side Full Page Cache, increasing the responsiveness of your site.

Each of these technologies has been carefully selected and configured to work in synergy with PrestaShop. The goal is to ensure maximum performance, speed and stability for your e-commerce site.

The choice of these technologies is not accidental, but is the result of a careful evaluation of systemic best practices. We have carefully studied success stories from global e-commerce companies and used this information to inform our technical decisions. The result is an enterprise-grade technology stack that gives you everything you need to build and run a successful PrestaShop e-commerce site.

ManagedServer is fully equipped to support different development work styles, allowing for easy switching between two main modes: local development and development on the server.

In local development mode, your developers can work comfortably on their local computers, using familiar and customized tools according to their preferences. When it's time to push your code changes to the server, ManagedServer supports the use of `git push`. This Git command allows you to easily push all source code changes to the server, ensuring a smooth and secure transfer. In addition, using Git ensures that all changes are tracked, making it easier to manage versions and troubleshoot any problems.

On the other hand, ManagedServer also offers a development mode on the server. This mode provides direct access to the codebase via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This allows your developers to work directly on the server, editing files and viewing the effect of their changes in real time. SFTP offers a high level of security during file transfers, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.

In both modes, ManagedServer is committed to offering a stable, secure and high performance development environment. Whether you prefer to work locally or directly on the server, we're equipped to support your workflow and make development a hassle-free experience.

Direct SSH access is supported, and it is also possible to interface directly with mysql, use CLI tools ( Terminus , drush , WP-CLI ) and SFTP files

ManagedServer is committed to simplifying the process of migrating your Prestashop site to our platform, offering you a complete and uninterrupted service. We understand how critical your online business is, which is why we offer a free migration service, scheduled overnight to minimize any potential downtime. This allows you to continue your business operations as usual, while we take care of the heavy relocation work.

Once your data is transferred, our team of experts takes over to optimize your Prestashop site. This process involves optimizing your files, databases and mail, ensuring everything runs smoothly on our platform. Our goal is to improve not only the speed and reliability of your site, but also its scalability and security, so you can focus on growing your business instead of technical problems.

Since 2012, we have chosen to focus our expertise on Content Management Systems (CMS) for e-commerce which, while popular, tend to be slower and more cumbersome, such as PrestaShop. This choice was motivated by our desire to face and overcome the most complex challenges in the field of e-commerce hosting.

PrestaShop, despite its popularity, is known to have some performance issues. However, thanks to our deep knowledge of the system and our experience in the sector, we are able to optimize the hosting of PrestaShop in order to minimize these problems and maximize performance.

Our specialization in this field has allowed us to develop effective solutions to manage the peculiarities of PrestaShop. We have developed advanced strategies and techniques to ensure that PrestaShop sites hosted on our servers operate as efficiently as possible.

Our approach is aimed not only at solving technical problems, but also at providing a high level of assistance service. Our ultimate goal is to ensure complete customer satisfaction by offering a PrestaShop hosting service that is not only efficient and reliable, but also simple to use and manage.

The decision to focus on PrestaShop was therefore a strategic choice that allowed us to develop a high quality e-commerce hosting service, able to meet the specific needs of customers using this popular CMS.

Aware of how important data security and integrity are for your business, we constantly work to protect your site from any possible risk, whether they are hacker attacks, human errors or accidental loss of data. To do this, we make at least three daily backups using three different technologies. This redundant approach allows us to ensure that, under all circumstances, we will always have at least one usable backup available.

For those customers who manage blogs or websites with a particularly intense content production, we offer the possibility of making backups even on an hourly basis. This ensures even tighter coverage and greater security for your data.

We also understand that for some customers, data protection may require additional layers of security. Therefore, we offer the possibility to insure your business and website with an additional insurance policy. This covers up to ten thousand euros in the event of data loss, providing an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Our infrastructure is protected by hardware firewalls and sophisticated DDOS mitigation systems, which represent the maximum protection against cyber attacks. These tools, together with our strict backup policy and our insurance option, make our service the ideal option for even the most demanding customers who manage high-value businesses, with turnovers in the order of several million euros.

In our commitment to data security, your peace of mind is our priority. With us, your business is always safe.

Our hosting service is very discreet and very liberal. We do not preclude or forbid the sale of particular product categories. We always invite the seller and the owner of the e-commerce to respect the laws and regulations in force, European and Italian. The product categories that require special precautions such as specific licenses are in any case under the complete and total responsibility of the e-commerce owner who indemnifies us.

At our company, we value flexibility and are committed to providing solutions that fit the needs of our customers. In this spirit, all our contracts have a duration of 12 months, but with the option to pay on a monthly basis. This structure only allows you to commit for one month at a time, giving you the freedom to tailor our services to your needs as they change.

With this option, you have the possibility to use the server for a minimum period of one month, after which you can decide to renew your contract on a monthly basis. This approach offers a balance between the stability of a long-term contract and the flexibility of a short-term commitment.

In regards to canceling the contract, we require 30 days notice. This allows us to ensure a smooth and trouble-free transition for both parties, ensuring that all of your data and applications are managed correctly.

Our policy is designed to give you maximum flexibility, ensuring you are always in control of your services and the length of your contract. Our goal is to provide you with a service that is perfectly aligned with your needs and allows you to focus on what is most important: growing your business.

On May 25, 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, a regulation with which the European Commission intends to standardize the protection of personal data of citizens of the European Union. The regulation applies to all companies that process data of European citizens, even if they are not based within the Union. Managed Server delivers its services by correctly applying the provisions of the new legislation (EU Regulation 2016/679).
