VPS Hosting Advice

Hestia Control Panel

If you want to save some money on licensing, don't require a cPanel environment and want the best performance for Magento and other CMS hosting, we recommend the Hestia control panel. This control panel includes NGinx and caching as standard, email/webmail, ftp, phpmyadmin and DNS hosting.

To see proof of performance, see the sample Magento website running on a basic Ubuntu server with 512MB RAM and 1 CPU Core at https://203.143.83.193/

You can view the complete guide to install Vesta here.

We also offer this as a service when you purchase your VPS, this is free. To see a demo of HestiaCP visit their website at www.hestiacp.com

We recommend you select Ubuntu 20 as your operating system if you intend to run HestiaCP.

cPanel

If you are familiar with the cPanel environment, we have documented the best way to setup your cPanel VPS for Magento and other CMS performance.

Once you have access to the new VPS, you can use the option within WHM/cPanel called 'Transfer from another account'. This automatically transfers your website from another cPanel server.

You can view the complete guide here. It includes full step by step instructions for configuring cPanel for fast hosting of Magento websites.

We also offer this as a service when you purchase your VPS, again this is provided free of charge.
