OpenCart ® hosting

An OpenCart hosting is a web hosting service specifically optimized for running the OpenCart CMS, one of the most popular platforms for creating online stores. An OpenCart Hosting is generally based on a Linux operating system and includes a PHP interpreter and a MySQL database, served by a web server such as Apache or NGINX.

Specific OpenCart hostings offer server-side configurations that are optimized for the needs of an OpenCart store. These may include using enterprise-grade caches like Varnish and configuring them according to best practices recommended by the OpenCart community and its developers.

From the point of view of system assistance, the technical figures are specialized in all situations inherent to OpenCart, including the most common problems that may arise during the use of the platform.

Furthermore, some of the specific configurations, such as timeouts at cache and web server level, are designed to adequately manage interfacing with management systems and the import of product catalogues, thus guaranteeing a fluid and high-performance user experience.

Our OpenCart-specific technology and software stack are designed and tested to handle over 10.000 users per minute, depending on the efficiency of the application and plugins used. At a nominal and contractual level, we guarantee the ability to manage 2.000 users per minute on cached pages. However, we have already managed traffic peaks exceeding 15.000 users per minute without requiring additional costs from the client who owns the OpenCart site hosted with us.

We use different locations according to different needs. Mainly over 95% of our infrastructure is allocated and managed in Germany and Finland with a small part managed in Italy on companies with Datacenter Tier V and with ISO27001 certification that meet the requirements relating to the GDPR and data security.

Managed Server has developed a proprietary stack optimized for OpenCart that includes Zend OpCache, Memcache, Redis.io as Object Storage and Varnish as server-side Full Page Cache. These technologies have been specifically chosen and configured to offer the best performance with OpenCart installations.

The technological choices are based on best practices recommended by the OpenCart community and enterprise-level case studies of leading companies in the e-commerce sector.

ManagedServer supports switching between the local development mode it uses git pushto transfer all code changes and a development mode to the server, which provides access to the codebase via SFTP.

Direct SSH access is supported, and it is also possible to interface directly with mysql, use CLI tools ( Terminus , drush , WP-CLI ) and SFTP files

Yes, we normally migrate the customer's data for free at night and without disruptions on the new machine and we proceed with the optimization of everything (file / database / mail) so that everything is perfectly functional.

Since 2012 we have decided to concentrate our skills on the most requested but often problematic CMS for e-commerce, such as Magento and Magento 2. Recently, we have also extended our expertise to OpenCart, another popular CMS for e-commerce. Thanks to our specific optimization, customers who switch to a hosting solution with us notice a significant improvement in the performance of their site. From a slow and cumbersome site, we move on to a decidedly faster and more reactive user experience, guaranteeing total customer satisfaction.

In order to avoid any remote danger of hacker attacks, human error or accidental loss, we take care to make at least three daily backups with three different technologies in order to always have at least one usable backup available. In the case of blogs that produce a lot of content, we also provide hourly backups. We have the possibility, if required, to insure your business and your site with additional insurance for a coverage of up to ten thousand euros in the event of data loss. Firewall Hardware and DDOS mitigation systems make our service the flagship even for the most demanding customers who manage important business with revenues in the order of several million euros.

Our hosting service is very discreet and very liberal. We do not preclude or forbid the sale of particular product categories. We always invite the seller and the owner of the e-commerce to respect the laws and regulations in force, European and Italian. The product categories that require special precautions such as specific licenses are in any case under the complete and total responsibility of the e-commerce owner who indemnifies us.

All our contracts are valid for 12 months with monthly payment and are not binding except for the single month. You will therefore be able to use the server for a minimum of one month to be followed by the monthly renewal. Cancellation requires 30 days notice.

On May 25, 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, a regulation with which the European Commission intends to standardize the protection of personal data of citizens of the European Union. The regulation applies to all companies that process data of European citizens, even if they are not based within the Union. Managed Server delivers its services by correctly applying the provisions of the new legislation (EU Regulation 2016/679).
