PrestaShop Hosting UK
Reliable hosting for PrestaShop stores, from smaller online shops to demanding ecommerce businesses. Choose the hosting environment, resources and level of management that fits your store.
A PrestaShop hosting environment built around your requirements
Farbyte gives you a choice of hosting environments so you can start with the resources you need and move to a more powerful platform as your store grows. Whether you need straightforward web hosting, additional resources for a business store or the control of your own VPS, we can provide the underlying infrastructure to support it.
Business Cloud Hosting
PrestaShop VPS Hosting
Shared hosting for smaller PrestaShop stores
Your store runs on a managed hosting platform without the administrative overhead of running your own server. This can make sense for smaller catalogues, early-stage ecommerce businesses and stores where simplicity is more important than having dedicated server resources.
As your store grows, you can move to a higher-resource hosting environment without having to change ecommerce platforms.
Business hosting for growing ecommerce stores
Farbyte Business Cloud Hosting provides a higher-resource environment for businesses that need more capacity than a conventional shared hosting platform. It is suited to stores with larger catalogues, more visitors, more demanding modules or greater operational requirements.
Your hosting environment can be scaled as your store develops, giving you more room for growth without immediately taking on the administration of your own VPS.
PrestaShop VPS hosting for demanding stores
A PrestaShop VPS gives you dedicated virtual CPU and memory resources, NVMe storage and full root access. You can choose your operating system, configure the server around your application and install the software and services your store requires.
Our PrestaShop VPS service is available as managed or unmanaged hosting, depending on how much server administration you want to handle yourself.
Resources for ecommerce
PrestaShop performance depends on more than just page views. CPU, memory, storage performance, caching and database workload all contribute to the responsiveness of your store.
Fast NVMe storage
Fast storage helps your application, database and underlying operating system handle the frequent reads and writes generated by an ecommerce platform.
Security-conscious infrastructure
Keep your PrestaShop installation, modules and operating system maintained while running your store on resilient UK infrastructure.
Flexible configuration
Choose a hosting environment that matches your requirements rather than paying for server resources you do not currently need.
Room to grow
Move from a smaller hosting environment to business or VPS hosting as traffic, catalogue size and application requirements increase.
UK-based support
Get help with the underlying hosting environment from a UK hosting provider rather than dealing with an anonymous infrastructure platform.
Give your PrestaShop store the resources it actually needs
That means choosing a hosting plan based purely on storage or monthly traffic can give a misleading picture of what your store needs. CPU capacity, available memory, storage performance and the behaviour of your modules all matter.
Farbyte provides several hosting environments so you can match the platform to the workload rather than forcing every store into the same hosting model.
Hosting that gives your PrestaShop modules room to work
On a small store this may not be noticeable. As a store becomes more complex, however, inefficient modules or resource-heavy operations can expose the limitations of an undersized hosting environment.
With higher-resource Business Hosting or your own VPS, you have more headroom for demanding integrations and can choose an environment appropriate to the complexity of your store.
Keep the hosting environment maintained
PrestaShop also evolves over time, with new releases, security fixes and compatibility requirements. Modules and themes need to remain compatible with the version of PrestaShop and PHP you are running.
Farbyte can manage the underlying server environment for customers who choose managed hosting, while customers who prefer full administrative control can choose an unmanaged VPS.
Migrate your existing PrestaShop store
We can help migrate your existing PrestaShop installation, files and database to the new hosting environment. The migration can be planned around your existing store so that downtime is kept to a minimum.
Once the migration is complete, you can continue using your existing domain and ecommerce setup while taking advantage of the new hosting environment.
PrestaShop hosting on high-performance UK infrastructure
Our platform is designed for hosting applications that need consistent access to compute, memory and storage resources. DDoS protection, monitoring and resilient infrastructure form part of the wider hosting platform.
For businesses serving UK customers, keeping the hosting environment in the UK can also provide a straightforward infrastructure choice without moving your ecommerce platform to an overseas cloud provider.
