PrestaShop VPS HostingYour Store on Reserved Resources

PrestaShop is free to run, but its speed depends on the server under it. We install PrestaShop with Apache or NGINX, PHP-FPM and MySQL or MariaDB on a hardened KVM VPS, so your catalogue and checkout get CPU and RAM that are not shared.

Full root & SSH NVMe storage Daily backups Anti-DDoS 99.9% uptime SLA 11 locations

  • Reserved vCores and RAM

  • Daily backups

    Automatic backup of the previous 24 hours.

Why a VPS

Why Host PrestaShop on a VPS

PrestaShop stores grow in modules, products and traffic. Shared hosting limits all three; a VPS removes the ceilings.

  1. Reserved resources for checkout

    Cart and checkout run uncached; reserved vCores and RAM keep them quick under load.

  2. PHP settings PrestaShop asks for

    Raise memory_limit, max_input_vars and upload sizes to what PrestaShop and its modules need.

  3. Cron for modules

    Run module tasks, product feeds and stock sync on a real schedule.

  4. Room for many products

    NVMe storage and a database sized for large catalogues and combinations.

The stack

A PrestaShop Server Stack

A classic PHP stack, set up the way PrestaShop expects.

Request from a browser or app (HTTPS)

  1. Web server

    Apache (or NGINX)

    PrestaShop writes its own .htaccess rules, so Apache works out of the box; NGINX needs equivalent rules.

  2. PHP runtime

    PHP-FPM + OPcache

    Runs the shop and its modules.

  3. Application

    PrestaShop

    Smarty templates compiled and cached in production.

  4. Database

    MySQL or MariaDB

    Products, combinations, customers and orders.

Worth knowing

  • Turn on Smarty caching and stop template recompiling in production.
  • CCC (combine, compress, cache) reduces the number of CSS and JavaScript files.
  • After installation the install folder is removed and the admin folder gets a unique name.
  • Check which PHP versions your PrestaShop release and modules support before upgrading PHP.
What you can run

What You Can Run

  • Marketplaces

    Multi-vendor shops with marketplace modules.

  • Multi-language, multi-currency stores

    Selling across countries from one installation.

    Test modules and upgrades before going live.

Sizing guide

Which Plan for Your PrestaShop Store

Modules, catalogue size and checkout traffic drive PHP and database load.

Recommended VPS plan for each PrestaShop workload
Workload Start with Why
New or small shop VPS-1 2 vCores · 4 GB RAM PrestaShop, the web server and MariaDB with room to spare.
Growing shop VPS-2 4 vCores · 8 GB RAM More PHP workers and database memory.
Large catalogue or multistore VPS-3 6 vCores · 12 GB RAM 6 vCores and 12 GB RAM.
High traffic or several shops VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM 8 vCores, 24 GB RAM and 200 GB NVMe.

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

PrestaShop on Shared Hosting or a VPS?

Small shops start on shared hosting; growing ones need settings and resources of their own.

PHP limits (memory, max_input_vars) Capped by the host Your settings
Resources at peak times Shared Reserved
Module cron jobs Limited Unrestricted
Root and SSH access No Yes

After handover

Running PrestaShop Day to Day

Common maintenance tasks over SSH.

  1. Clear the cache

    After installing modules or changing themes.

  2. Schedule a module task

    Many modules give you a cron URL.

  3. Back up the database

    A consistent dump without locking tables.

  4. Back up images and modules

    The files the database does not hold.

# 1. Clear the cache

cd /var/www/shop && php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod

# 2. Schedule a module task

(crontab -l; echo "*/15 * * * * curl -s https://shop.example.com/module/yourmodule/cron?token=YOUR_TOKEN") | crontab -

# 3. Back up the database

mysqldump --single-transaction shop | gzip > ~/backups/shop-$(date +%F).sql.gz

# 4. Back up images and modules

tar -czf ~/backups/shop-files-$(date +%F).tar.gz -C /var/www/shop img modules themes

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 PrestaShop in place.

  1. Choose a plan and location

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

  2. Tell us your PrestaShop setup

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

  3. We install and secure it

    Server hardened, PrestaShop 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 PrestaShop stack

  • Apache or NGINX configured for PrestaShop
  • PHP-FPM with the extensions and limits PrestaShop requires
  • MySQL or MariaDB with a database for the shop
  • PrestaShop installed on your domain with HTTPS
  • Install folder removed after setup

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.
