Magento Hosting

Looking to build a Magento e-commerce store and unsure of what hosting company to go with?

There is a vast array of hosting companies in Australia and around the world. Some cost only a few dollars and others up to a few thousand dollars a month. So where do you start? How do you find the right hosting company for your business? We thought we would share with you a few hosting companies that we use for our Magento e-commerce development to help you out.

Magento Small Business E-commerce Hosting

Its hard to find the balance of a quality magento web host with a reasonable price when you have little time to filter through the hundreds of cheap hosting companies. Do not just go for the hosting company that is offering the lowest price, research and call the companies and ask if they know magento hosting. We have had to work with magento websites that sit on web servers that are not configured  for magento e-commerce store fronts. This has caused a lot of issues ranging from automatically logging off the user to not allowing the client to upload an image from the wysiwyg editor. This is frustrating for our technical team as it means more hours are being chewed up configuring rather than developing.

Our Small Business Magento Hosting Reccomendation is Koowii Hosting.

For Australian small businesses that have a minmal amount of transactions a month we have found Koowii to provide great magento hosting services.

Provided below is a blurb from their website.

Koowii is a unique company that provides industrious hosting for Australia and beyond. Effective tools and affordable rates are the centerpiece of Koowii's Business. Koowii does not make any extraordinary claims; they just deliver for their clients.

After receiving numerous requests for services related to the E-Commerce software “Magento”, Koowii began researching the platform, a few months later, they had setup servers specifically dedicated to Magento, and have made setting up a store on your website easier than ever.

Magento Large Business Hosting

Transacting hundreds to thousands of orders a month? Million plus visitors a year? You probably need a large business magento hosting provider. It is important to understand that being a medium to large enterprise the stakes are much higher if things go wrong. You need to have a competent and reliable web hosting company that provides support and technical expertise when you need it.

Our Large Business Magento Hosting Reccomendation is RackSpaceCloud

The main reason we use rackspace hosting is the ability for hosting to be scalable. The scalability allows the server to manage peaks of traffic without crashing meaning no downtime during the christmas or other holiday seasons.  We have established a partnership with rackspace cloud hosting as we beleive in their product and in return we were able to setup a referer code for our clients

If you are going to sign up to rackspace cloud server please use our Referer Code: REF-balanceinternet when going through the checkout process.

The small amount of kick back we get allows our staff time to write articles like this one.
