PrestaShop VPS Hosting
PrestaShop VPS Hosting UK
Run your PrestaShop store on a dedicated virtual server with flexible CPU, RAM and NVMe storage resources. Get full root access and choose managed or unmanaged VPS hosting.
Built for ecommerce
Give PrestaShop its own VPS environment
A growing PrestaShop store can place very different demands on its hosting environment. Larger catalogues, more visitors, complex modules, database queries and busy checkout periods can all increase the resources required by the application.
A PrestaShop VPS gives your store its own virtual server environment rather than sharing server resources with unrelated websites. You get allocated CPU and RAM resources, fast NVMe storage and full administrative access to the server.
This gives you much greater control over the environment running your ecommerce platform and provides room to configure the server around the requirements of your store.

Performance
More resources for demanding PrestaShop stores
PrestaShop performance depends on more than the amount of storage or monthly bandwidth available. PHP execution, database queries, catalogue searches, customer sessions, checkout operations and installed modules can all contribute to server load.
With your own VPS, CPU and RAM resources are allocated to your environment rather than being shared across a large collection of unrelated websites. This gives you more predictable resources for the application and supporting services.
The VPS can also be configured around the workload of your particular store, rather than forcing the application into a fixed shared hosting environment.

PrestaShop stack
Configure the server around your store
Your PrestaShop installation is only one part of the environment. The web server, PHP runtime, database and operating system all contribute to how the application performs.
Having your own VPS gives you control over that environment. You can install the software you need, adjust server settings and choose the services that make sense for your application.
This is particularly useful when your store relies on third-party modules, integrations or background processes that require more control than conventional shared hosting provides.

Modules & integrations
Room for demanding modules and integrations
Modern ecommerce stores often depend on much more than the core PrestaShop application. Payment gateways, shipping integrations, analytics, product feeds, search tools and marketing systems can all add processing and database workload.
On a VPS, you have considerably more control over the underlying environment and can allocate resources around the needs of your store.
If a particular integration requires additional server software or configuration, having root access means you are not restricted to the options available on a shared hosting platform.

Managed or unmanaged
Choose how much of the server you want to manage
Not every PrestaShop business wants to become a server administrator. Farbyte gives you a choice of managed or unmanaged VPS hosting.
With a managed VPS, Farbyte takes care of the underlying server environment, including operating system maintenance, server administration and ongoing infrastructure management. You can concentrate on running your store rather than maintaining the server.
With an unmanaged VPS, you have full control of the server and take responsibility for its administration. This is suited to developers, agencies and technically experienced users who want to manage the environment themselves.

Scaling
Scale your PrestaShop VPS as your store grows
Your hosting requirements can change significantly as an ecommerce business grows. More products, customers, orders, integrations and seasonal traffic can all increase the resources required by your store.
A VPS lets you increase resources without moving to an entirely different hosting model. CPU, RAM and storage can be adjusted as your requirements change, subject to the limits of the selected VPS configuration.
This makes a VPS a practical foundation for a store that expects its hosting requirements to grow over time.

Migration
Move your existing PrestaShop store to a VPS
Already running PrestaShop on shared hosting or another provider? Moving to a VPS does not mean starting your store again.
We can help migrate your existing PrestaShop files and database to a new Farbyte VPS and work through the required DNS and configuration changes.
Migration can be planned around your existing store to minimise disruption. Once the new environment has been tested, your domain can be switched to the new server.

Beyond PrestaShop
A VPS gives you more than just ecommerce hosting
Because you control the underlying server, your VPS can run supporting services alongside PrestaShop where appropriate.
This can include monitoring tools, scheduled jobs, integration services, development tools, databases or other applications that form part of your ecommerce infrastructure.
You are not restricted to a predefined shared hosting environment, giving developers and agencies considerably more flexibility over how the server is configured.
