Magento Web Hosting

Magento is an brilliant ecommerce solution that really does give you unlimited scope and control for your ecommerce website. But with this power and versatility comes a price, the requirement for web hosting solution that is up to running Magento, and running Magento efficiently. We provide Magento web hosting solutions that are created specifically to host this popular and demanding ecommerce solution.

While Magento can be run on our shared web hosting solutions, we do recommend only using Magento shared web hosting if you have a small product database. For Magento websites with medium to large product ecommerce shops, a dedicated web hosting solution is far more beneficial

So why is Magento so demanding?

There are quite a few reasons as to why Magento is demanding, here are a few reasons why you need a web hosting solution specifically tailored to server Magento websites:

Magento uses an EAV database system which is built on top of MySQL. This means that MySQL queries for single items often means the querying of multiple rows to get at that data. So its important that your Magento web hosting solution has MySQL tuned accordingly in-line with Magento requirements.

Magento is a fairly heafty and bulky collection of code, including applications configuration files, system configuration, layout etc. and these are built up into large XML trees and stored in memory and parsed via the CPU as needed. Quite of few of these trees are rather large, especially the layout tree and these can cause Magento to be a massive burden on both memory and CPU usage on your server. Magento caching does alleviate this somewhat if switch on, otherwise these tree.s are created from files on each request! So its really important that your Magento web hosting solutions gets enough memory and CPU to run optimally.

Magento allows you to override classes which is a very powerful feature, but it also adds to the resources Magento needs because each time a model, helper, or controller is invoked, extra PHP code is run to find out if a specific class has been overridden or not. So your Magento web hosting PHP needs to be in fine fettle too!

Magento also performs a lot of recursive rendering within its template system which also increases resource usage.

Magento is definitely one of the most powerful and flexible ecommerce solutions out their because it was created this way from the beginning as the first and foremost task, with performance being a latter worry.
