PrestaShop hosting

Primarily used to build online stores, PrestaShop is an open-source ecommerce solution. Developed using PHP and MySQL, it is a robust platform with all the essential tools to set up a store and make sales online.

For detailed instructions on how to start using this platform, check out our PrestaShop tutorial.

Yes, you can host your PrestaShop on a VPS, and you must. VPS hosting offers the best environment possible for your online store’s growth.

With Hostinger’s PrestaShop VPS hosting, you’ll have full root access to configure the LiteSpeed server and install the latest PHP and MySQL versions. You'll also benefit from integrated caching and HTTP/2 to supercharge your ecommerce site’s performance.

Plus, when your PrestaShop store grows bigger, upgrading your server resources only takes a few clicks. This allows you to deliver a good shopping experience consistently, no matter how busy your site gets.

At Hostinger, each installation of PrestaShop receives a unique directory name for the administrative area. Compiled using random letters and numbers, it aims to protect the back end of your website from hacking or brute force attempts. To find your unique PrestaShop admin area URL, review the installed folders using File Manager. Once located, access it through your browser (for example: https://www.myprestastore.com/exampleadmin).

Having a strategy for handling shipping is important for any online shop with physical products. PrestaShop calculates the shipping prices based on either price or weight ranges. A few other aspects are also taken into account, such as the geographical area, country, and currency. Luckily, you’ll be able to configure and edit all these values via the local settings of your PrestaShop admin area.

It sure does! PrestaShop's multistore feature lets you manage your storefront efficiently. Whether you want to create a multilingual shop or accept payments in more than one currency, the multistore functionality is a great way to achieve your goals.

Our PrestaShop Hosting plans do not limit the number of modules you can implement. As long as you have the resources, you can add as many extensions to your online store as you need. If you require more power, scaling your plan only takes a few clicks.

While there is a moderate selection of free PrestaShop modules, most of them have a price tag. However, they also include refund policies, which let you test everything out risk-free. That said, the free module library contains the most essential tools that online shops need.

All PrestaShop Hosting servers are protected with our custom-built web application firewall and the award-winning Wanguard DDoS protection technology. For an additional layer of security, consider setting up an SSL/TLS certificate. Properly encrypted connection will boost trust and protect user data against man-in-the-middle attacks.

You sure can! A one-click installer will be available on your hPanel account. Using it, you can set up and remove popular content management systems with just a few mouse clicks! In case PrestaShop is not the right solution for you, you can try a lot of other popular ecommerce platforms such as WordPress+WooCommerce.
