Application requirements first
Ask your developer for the Magento version, PHP requirements, database use and search requirements. Match the configuration to the actual application.
Magento hosting
Plan a managed cloud configuration around your Magento application, catalogue and integrations, with a clear route from requirements to setup.
The practical picture
Magento hosting needs to fit the version, extensions and services your shop uses. Our managed cloud builder includes a Magento optimisation profile, with server resources and available options shown before checkout.
Ask your developer for the Magento version, PHP requirements, database use and search requirements. Match the configuration to the actual application.
Include catalogue size, imports, scheduled tasks and busy trading periods in the capacity decision. Available resources vary by platform.
Prepare the new environment and test the store before changing DNS. Include payments, stock connections, transactional email and new orders in the plan.
The details that matter
Product variations, imports, search and integrations can create different demands from simple page views. Bring those details, peak traffic and the current application version to the configuration review.
Magento installations can depend on search, caching, background jobs and particular software versions. Confirm each dependency with your developer and the selected platform before ordering.
Test extensions and application changes on a suitable staging environment. Preserve orders and other live records during the final deployment; code and database changes may need different release steps.
Confirm who looks after the infrastructure and who maintains Magento, extensions and custom code. A managed server does not automatically include every application development task.
Made for the working day
An online shop rarely works alone. Its warehouse, payment, delivery and accounting connections need to keep working too. We will talk through the hosting requirements with you and your developer, then help you compare the available cloud options. Application development and commercial Adobe or extension licences are separate from the hosting configuration.
Talk through your requirements
A little clarity
Useful answers before you decide. For anything specific to your website, let’s talk it through.
Start with your developer’s application requirements, then compare processor, memory, storage and supporting services in the builder. We can help review the available options.
Review the services available with the selected optimisation profile and configuration. Confirm the versions and compatibility your application needs before ordering.
The move needs a plan suited to your store and its live data. We will agree the process and testing with you; a blanket zero-downtime promise would not account for every application.
