Run Magento on your own virtual server rather than sharing server resources with unrelated websites.
MAGENTO VPS HOSTING
Magento VPS Hosting UK
Run your Magento store on a high-performance UK KVM VPS with flexible resources, NVMe storage and full root access. Choose unmanaged hosting or let Farbyte manage the underlying server for you.
Magento hosting built around your store
Magento is a powerful ecommerce platform for businesses that need more than a basic online shop. Large product catalogues, complex pricing, customer accounts, payment integrations, third-party extensions and custom functionality can all place significant demands on the underlying hosting environment.
Running Magento on your own VPS gives you control over that environment. Instead of sharing server resources with unrelated websites, you have your own virtual server with configurable CPU, RAM and NVMe storage.
Farbyte provides the underlying UK KVM infrastructure while giving you the flexibility to configure the server around the requirements of your Magento installation.

Why host Magento on a VPS?
Magento is fundamentally different from a simple brochure website or a small content management system. A typical Magento installation can involve the web server, PHP, database, search infrastructure, caching, scheduled tasks, background processing and a range of third-party extensions.
Having your own VPS gives you control over the environment in which these services operate. You can allocate resources to the workload, install the software your store requires and make server-level configuration changes without depending on the limitations of a shared hosting platform.
Predictable resources
Your Magento environment has its own allocated virtual CPU and RAM resources rather than competing with unrelated websites.
Server-level control
Configure PHP, web server settings, databases, caching and supporting services around your Magento installation.
Room to grow
Increase VPS resources as your product catalogue, traffic and application requirements develop.
Magento performance starts with the hosting environment
Store performance is affected by much more than the amount of bandwidth available. Magento performance can depend on CPU capacity, available memory, storage performance, database configuration, search, caching, PHP configuration and the extensions and customisations installed on the store.
A VPS provides the flexibility to tune the environment around the actual workload rather than forcing every Magento store into the same hosting configuration.
Fast NVMe storage
Use fast NVMe-backed storage for Magento application files, databases, media and other frequently accessed data.
Database performance
Configure the database environment around the size and workload of your Magento catalogue and application.
Caching and optimisation
Configure appropriate caching and supporting services to reduce unnecessary processing and improve response times.
Supporting the Magento application stack
A modern Magento installation is more than a PHP application and a database. Depending on the Magento release and how the store is configured, the environment can include search services, message queues, caching and other supporting components.
That is one of the reasons a VPS can be a better fit for a serious Magento store than conventional shared hosting. You have the control required to install, configure and maintain the supporting services your particular application needs.
PHP & Composer
Configure a supported PHP environment and manage the Composer dependencies required by your Magento installation.
Search
Run and configure a supported search service appropriate to your Magento release and catalogue requirements.
Queues & background tasks
Support scheduled jobs and background processing required by Magento and installed extensions.
Suitable for demanding ecommerce stores
A Magento VPS can provide a flexible foundation for ecommerce businesses where the hosting environment needs to accommodate more than a basic online shop.
Growing online stores
Host established ecommerce stores with increasing traffic, product catalogues and operational requirements.
Large product catalogues
Allocate additional resources as product data, attributes, customer information and media grow.
Complex ecommerce applications
Support stores with integrations, custom functionality, third-party extensions and more demanding application workloads.
Managed or unmanaged Magento VPS
Choose the level of server management that matches your technical requirements. The important distinction is that managed VPS hosting covers the underlying server and operating system; your Magento application remains your responsibility unless separate application management has been agreed.
Managed Magento VPS
Farbyte manages the underlying VPS and operating system, including server administration, updates, monitoring and security configuration. You remain responsible for Magento, extensions, themes, store configuration and content.
Unmanaged Magento VPS
You receive full root access and take responsibility for the VPS, operating system, Magento installation, security, updates and ongoing maintenance.
A UK VPS infrastructure designed for ecommerce
Your Magento VPS runs on Farbyte’s UK KVM infrastructure, using modern AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage. The virtual server environment gives you the resources and administrative access required to build a Magento hosting environment around your own application.
AMD EPYC processors
High-performance server CPUs provide the processing capacity for demanding ecommerce workloads.
NVMe storage
Fast NVMe-backed storage provides responsive performance for Magento files, databases and application data.
UK hosting
Host your Magento store on Farbyte's UK infrastructure with high-capacity network connectivity.
Security and maintenance for Magento
Magento stores need regular maintenance because the application, extensions, operating system and supporting services all form part of the overall hosting environment. Keeping software patched and maintaining a controlled server configuration is particularly important for ecommerce websites handling customer accounts and transactions.
Adobe regularly publishes security updates for Magento and Adobe Commerce. Your Magento installation should therefore be kept on a supported release and current security patch, with compatibility checked before applying updates to production.
With a managed VPS, Farbyte can take responsibility for the underlying server and operating system administration. Magento application updates and extension maintenance remain the responsibility of the store owner unless additional application management has been agreed.
Scale your Magento environment as your store grows
Your hosting requirements can change considerably as an ecommerce business grows. More products, more customers, additional integrations and increased traffic can all increase the resources required by Magento.
With a VPS, you can increase the resources allocated to the server as your requirements change instead of immediately having to migrate the store to a completely different hosting platform.
More CPU
Increase available processing resources when application workloads become more demanding.
More RAM & storage
Add memory and storage capacity as your catalogue, database and media requirements grow.
Adapt the environment
Change server configuration and supporting services as your Magento application develops.
Migrating an existing Magento store
Moving an existing Magento store to a VPS normally involves transferring the application files, database and media, configuring the required services and testing the store before changing DNS.
The migration requirements depend on your Magento version, installed extensions, theme, database size, integrations, cron jobs and existing hosting environment. A proper staging and testing process is important before putting the new server into production.
If you choose a managed VPS, Farbyte can assist with the underlying server setup and migration process. Application-specific migration work can be assessed separately according to the complexity of your existing Magento installation.
If you’re moving from shared hosting, a Magento VPS can also give you significantly more control over the environment and supporting services available to the application.
