Magento VPS HostingThe Full Stack Magento Expects

Magento needs more than PHP and a database: a search engine, Redis, cron every minute and ideally Varnish. We install Magento Open Source with the services it needs on a hardened KVM VPS with reserved resources; you build and run the store.

  • Root and SSH access

    bin/magento, Composer and cron without limits.

  • Daily backups

    Automatic backup of the previous 24 hours.

Why a VPS

Why Magento Needs a VPS

Magento's requirements rule out most shared hosting: it needs a search engine, Redis, cron every minute and shell access for its CLI.

  1. All the services it requires

    OpenSearch for catalogue search, Redis for cache and sessions, MySQL or MariaDB, and PHP with the extensions Magento lists.

  2. Cron and indexers that run

    bin/magento cron:run every minute keeps indexes, emails and scheduled jobs current.

  3. Varnish full-page cache

    Magento supports Varnish natively for fast catalogue and category pages.

  4. Deploys from the command line

    setup:upgrade, setup:di:compile and static-content:deploy need SSH and time, which a VPS gives you.

The stack

A Magento Production Stack

HTTPS at the edge, Varnish in front of Magento, and the search, cache and database services behind it.

Request from a browser or app (HTTPS)

  1. Edge

    NGINX (TLS)

    Terminates HTTPS and passes requests to Varnish.

  2. Full-page cache

    Varnish

    Serves cached pages; misses go through to Magento.

  3. Application

    NGINX + PHP-FPM + Magento

    Production mode, compiled DI and deployed static content.

  4. Services

    OpenSearch + Redis

    Catalogue search; cache, page-cache storage and sessions.

  5. Database

    MySQL or MariaDB

    Catalogue, customers and orders.

Worth knowing

  • Magento 2.4 needs a search engine; OpenSearch is the supported choice for current releases.
  • Check Magento's system requirements for the PHP and database versions your release supports.
  • Run the store in production mode; developer mode is much slower.
  • OpenSearch runs on Java with its own memory, which is why Magento needs more RAM than most PHP apps.
What you can run

What You Can Run

  • Stores with large catalogues

    Configurable products, layered navigation and many SKUs.

  • Multi-store and multi-language

    Several websites and store views from one installation.

  • B2B storefronts

    Customer-specific catalogues and prices with extensions.

  • Headless Magento

    Magento as a GraphQL back end for a PWA or Next.js front end.

  • Staging stores

    A copy for testing upgrades and extensions before live.

  • Agency development servers

    Development and QA environments for client stores.

Sizing guide

Which Plan for Your Magento Store

OpenSearch, MySQL, Redis, Varnish and PHP-FPM all share the server, so RAM decides the plan.

Recommended VPS plan for each Magento workload
Workload Start with Why
Development or staging VPS-2 4 vCores · 8 GB RAM 8 GB fits the full stack with light traffic.
Small production store VPS-3 6 vCores · 12 GB RAM 12 GB for the stack plus PHP workers.
Larger catalogue or busier store VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM 24 GB RAM, 8 vCores and 200 GB NVMe.
Very large catalogue VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM Plus a second VPS for OpenSearch or MySQL as you grow.

A starting point, not a limit: every plan upgrades in place, keeping your data, IP address and configuration.

Magento on Shared Hosting or a VPS?

Magento's requirements decide this one: most shared hosting cannot run it properly.

Feature Shared hosting Magento VPS
OpenSearch Not available Installed at handover
Redis and Varnish Rarely available Installed at handover
Cron every minute Restricted Yes
CLI deploys Limited or none Full SSH
Resources Shared Reserved
Server administration Done by the host Yours, after our free setup

After handover

Deploying Magento Changes

The usual production deploy sequence for Magento Open Source.

  1. Update code and dependencies

    Pull your changes and install packages.

  2. Maintenance mode and upgrade

    Applies schema and data changes.

  3. Compile and deploy static content

    Required in production mode.

  4. Back to live

    Flush caches and open the store again.

# 1. Update code and dependencies

cd /var/www/magento && git pull

composer install --no-dev

# 2. Maintenance mode and upgrade

bin/magento maintenance:enable

bin/magento setup:upgrade

# 3. Compile and deploy static content

bin/magento setup:di:compile

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f en_US

# 4. Back to live

bin/magento cache:flush && bin/magento maintenance:disable

Example shell commands; adjust paths, names and versions to your project.

Free one-time setup

Installed and Secured Before You Log In

The VPS is unmanaged: after handover the server is yours to run. Before that, our engineers do the first setup once, free, so you start from a hardened server with Magento in place.

  1. Choose a plan and location

    Pick the resources you need and the datacentre closest to your users.

  2. Tell us your Magento setup

    Versions, database and domain: at order or right after.

  3. We install and secure it

    Server hardened, Magento installed and tested, HTTPS on your domain.

  4. You take over with root

    SSH access to a working server, ready for your code and data.

Your Magento stack

  • NGINX and PHP-FPM with the PHP extensions Magento requires
  • MySQL or MariaDB with a database for the store
  • OpenSearch for catalogue search
  • Redis for cache and sessions; Varnish on request
  • Magento Open Source on your domain with HTTPS and its cron jobs

Yours to run after handover

  • Ongoing server administration
  • Application maintenance and updates
  • Debugging your code
  • Migrating existing sites or data

Not included in the free setup, but we can quote for it. No control panel by default: CloudPanel, HestiaCP or Virtualmin on request at no cost; cPanel and Plesk need their own licence.

Running it well

Security and Performance for Magento

Security

  • Apply Magento security patches as soon as they are released.
  • Use a custom admin URL and keep two-factor authentication on (enabled by default).
  • Keep OpenSearch, Redis and MySQL bound to localhost.
  • Set file permissions per Magento's guide, with code read-only in production.

Performance

  • Run in production mode with compiled DI and deployed static content.
  • Use Varnish for full-page cache and Redis for cache and sessions.
  • Set indexers to Update by Schedule and run cron every minute.
  • Give OpenSearch a fixed heap and leave the rest for MySQL and PHP.
