Fully managed Magento hosting is when your hosting provider optimizes, manages, and assists with server and Magento software. It allows you to focus on business and frontend development, instead of administrative tasks. Fully managed Magento hosting is perfect for growing ecommerce businesses without IT staff or DevOps support.

A Magento cloud host provides virtual infrastructure to power site speed, performance, security, and scalability. Magento store owners can access all of the benefits of a curated infrastructure in one service, as opposed to paying multiple third-party subscription fees and licenses.

Magento is an open-source ecommerce application, but it does not include hosting. Magento users have to purchase a separate hosting plan that supports the Magento application in order to have a fast, secure ecommerce website. Because Magento is an application for high-traffic sites with dynamic needs, it is better to go with specific Magento web hosting, instead of generic hosting.

Magento was built on Nexcess servers. If you're looking for a professional ecommerce platform, we have both the knowledge and expertise to help you succeed. We know Magento better than any other host.

Elasticsearch allows you to show better search results to your visitors. Shoppers can still find what they need, even with typos, words out of order, and other all-too-human errors. Elasticsearch makes your Magento store more search-friendly and maximizes conversion potential. Because it's so useful, it's now required for Magento installs of version 2.4 and beyond. Nexcess includes Elasticsearch cloud containers with every new Magento plan.

Most Magento hosts can offer hosting that runs PHP code and MySQL databases. What makes Nexcess special is all of the features we add on top: dedicated IP addresses, autoscaling PHP workers, and PCI-compliant hosting. We’ve been fine-tuning Magento performance since it was built and we’re committed to the platform.

It can be both cloud-based and physical server-based depending on your needs. Nexcess uses virtualization to create your Magento server in the cloud for XS-XXL plans. Our dedicated and enterprise Magento plans use physical servers with cloud capabilities. You can choose in which data center your virtual server lives. Nexcess has 10 global hosting data centers to choose from, plus worldwide DNS and a beneficial CDN for additional speed.

There are many options when choosing Magento hosting: generic web hosting, generic unmanaged hosting, generic managed hosting, and Magento managed hosting. All generic hosting comes with standard features that do not apply to Magento’s capacity and performance needs. Also, many generic hosts will not be able to offer the kind of support you need to run a business. Nexcess Magento managed hosting is the best choice. It is updated, optimized, and built for your capacity and performance needs. We have a plan for every size store, and we have the deep knowledge to help with just about any Magento concern.

Magento is still the common name of the open-source application, which is free to use. Adobe Commerce is the name of the platform that includes the Magento application and its Commerce Cloud. Adobe Commerce prices start at $22,000 per year. Nexcess managed Magento hosting starts at $37.20 per month and includes premium application features, optimized hosting, and a wider scope of customer support than Adobe Commerce.

Yep, you can download Magento free but you will need hosting for the site to go live. Since Magento is a more complex CMS application, we recommend managed hosting.

Unlike other providers, Nexcess provides optimized, fully secure hosting for all versions of Magento 1 and Magento 2. We are the only provider that offers end-of-life protection for M1.
