Magento is the world's favorite software for online stores. Opting for Magento hosting from IONOS makes everything a lot simpler. We provide you with the technical means and the necessary performance to get your online store started. It's worth noting that managing a Magento store on your own can require between 2 to 10 full-time developers, depending on the size and complexity of your store. Things can get complicated very quickly without the right familiarity, so that's why alongside the hardware needed to operate a Magento server, you also benefit from experts who are familiar with Magento's demands, for example, PHP scripting languages and MySQL databases. If you have the knowledge and proper architecture in place to install the software yourself, then you may only need to order web space or a server with enough power to run your system. However, with IONOS, you can simply select the IONOS package that best suits you and then choose Magento. Additional open-source software can be installed at any time from the IONOS App Center.

In case you need to build a store with a smaller catalog or you are under time pressure and need to launch the store fast, you can opt for eCommerce Website Builder. Unlike open-source solutions, this IONOS proprietary platform allows you to build a store with physical or digital products, sort them out by category, has built in SEO for product pages and includes free hosting services. CSS function allows you further customization. The store is optimized for speed with CDN, while you still have to take care of the picture size to ensure easy loading of the page. The csv import assistance function allows you to organize the data you're importing to all of your products with a few clicks, without needing a developer. From a resources perspective, for a 500-product store and a properly prepared csv you can go live on your own in one day.

When you decide to work with Magento to run your store, it's best not to skimp on securing a proper server. Magento hosting requires many resources to run smoothly, including large amounts of computing power, memory and storage space. During peak shopping times, such as before Christmas and Black Friday, increased traffic to your site could result in slower loading times. This could cost you customers looking for a convenient online shopping experience, as well as hurt your store's Google ranking. Choosing IONOS will give you the power you need to accommodate high amounts of traffic, and with three Magento packages (shared hosting, dedicated hosting and cloud server) to choose from, you're sure to find the right Magento web hosting option.

The ideal Magento hosting service will provide top performance together with the appropriate hardware to handle the size and complexity of the software. The type of hosting package, including the corresponding server capabilities, depends on the size of your project. How many products your Magento-based store plans to offer and how many visitors it is to receive per day should be taken into account. With Magento hosting from IONOS, the maximum performance of the server infrastructure is important to ensure optimal loading times – crucial for running a successful eCommerce business. We make this possible by using current hardware and an exceptionally fast internet connection as well as making sure that not too many customers share the same server.
