Speed drives revenue in e-commerce. PrestaShop is powerful and database-heavy, especially with combinations, layered navigation, and large catalogs. Our NGINX stack with Redis-ready caching and NVMe storage is built to keep category pages fast, the back office responsive, and checkouts stable under real traffic.
PrestaShop workloads are different from simple CMS sites. Catalog filters, attribute combinations, cart logic, and module ecosystems create database pressure that shows up as slow category pages and unstable checkouts on low-end stacks.
Layered navigation and combinations trigger repeated queries and heavy page builds. NVMe I/O reduces disk queueing and improves response consistency, especially when traffic spikes during campaigns.
PrestaShop relies on cached data to stay responsive with larger catalogs. Redis support allows common caching patterns for categories, product pages, and back-office usage, reducing repeated database work.
E-commerce holds customer data and payment workflows, so isolation and edge protection matter. Free SSL and WAF controls reduce common abuse patterns, while account isolation helps protect performance from noisy neighbors.
PrestaShop uses more resources than a typical website. Higher PHP memory limits and fast storage help avoid slow back-office work, heavy imports failing, and checkouts timing out when traffic increases.
A shop is not just pages, it is catalog logic, cart operations, and a database that gets hit constantly. The stack is built to keep those parts stable and responsive.
NGINX handles high concurrency efficiently and serves static assets fast, freeing PHP workers for dynamic shop logic such as cart actions, product rendering, and module execution.
Redis support helps keep frequently used shop data closer to memory and reduces repeated database load. It is especially valuable for category pages, layered navigation, and back-office usage on larger stores.
PrestaShop databases are write-heavy during orders and read-heavy during browsing. NVMe reduces disk contention and improves consistency when many customers browse at the same time.
Stores change constantly through orders, stock updates, and content edits. Daily off-site backups are designed as a practical safety net for recovery after failed updates or accidental changes.
HTTPS is a baseline requirement for payments and customer trust. SSL is issued and renewed automatically so the store stays compliant with modern browser and gateway expectations.
Imports, module operations, thumbnail regeneration, and reporting require memory and execution time. Higher PHP limits reduce back-office failures and keep operational work smoother.

PrestaShop performance is heavily influenced by database load. Catalog pages, filters, and product combinations generate repeated queries and expensive templates. NGINX reduces overhead for static assets and handles concurrency efficiently. Redis-ready caching helps keep frequently used shop data closer to memory, reducing repeated database work and keeping category pages more consistent under load.
Managing a store includes imports, module updates, image regeneration, and reporting. Those tasks are heavier than typical CMS operations and commonly fail on low PHP memory limits. Higher limits reduce timeouts, prevent memory exhaustion errors, and make the back office feel stable for teams that work inside it every day.
Agencies need environments that behave predictably across staging and production, and they need tooling that supports professional delivery. SSH access on eligible plans improves deployment speed, troubleshooting, and controlled maintenance. Backups provide a rollback path after updates, and isolation improves consistency when the node is busy.
Commerce sites attract abuse, bots, and credential stuffing attempts. Edge filtering and WAF rules help reduce noise and protect the shop surface, while SSL is handled automatically so payment and browser requirements stay satisfied.
Clear boundaries help agencies and business teams work faster and avoid surprises during releases.

This model works well for agencies delivering client stores because the platform stays stable while your team remains in full control of the shop and release schedule.
There is no fixed product limit, but performance depends on catalog complexity. Products with many combinations, attributes, and layered navigation require more memory and faster database I/O. For smaller catalogs and simpler filtering, Shop Starter is typically enough. For larger catalogs or complex filters, Growing Store or E-commerce Pro provides better headroom and smoother category browsing.
Yes. Migration assistance is available. Active shops require careful planning for data consistency, especially around orders and inventory. We can coordinate a practical migration plan with minimal downtime. Highly customized stacks may require additional professional services depending on complexity.
PrestaShop generates repeated database work for category pages, filters, and cart logic, especially when modules extend functionality. Redis-ready caching helps keep frequently requested data closer to memory and reduces repeated query load. The result is smoother browsing and more stable performance during traffic peaks.
Yes. Eligible plans include off-site backups with restore tooling. Backups are designed as a safety net rather than archival storage, and independent backups are still recommended for critical business data and compliance needs.
Yes. SSL is issued and renewed automatically so your store stays on HTTPS, which is essential for customer trust, payment flows, and modern browser requirements.
Yes. Upgrades are designed to be practical so you can add headroom before campaigns and seasonal peaks. If you need sustained high concurrency, dedicated workers, or specialized infrastructure patterns, a VPS is a better long-term fit.
SSH access is available on eligible plans and is useful for agencies and developers who handle deployments, maintenance tasks, and troubleshooting through the command line.
PrestaShop is resource-heavy and is sensitive to slow database I/O and low PHP memory limits. These plans focus on NVMe performance, higher PHP headroom, caching support, and practical security controls to keep commerce workflows stable under real usage.
Yes. PrestaShop multilingual and multi-currency features work normally. When stores grow, those features increase catalog workload, so caching support and memory headroom become even more important for consistent browsing speed.
Your store runs in a Tier-3 data center in Germany, providing strong connectivity across Europe and a reliable baseline for business operations and compliance needs.
