Managed Magento Hosting requirement for ecommerce sites

As an ecommerce platform Magento is one of the best known solutions to manage online stores of all sizes. But Magento is resource hungry software, and requires at least 4GB Ram  to run smoothly.

This makes a managed cloud solution perfect for hosting Magento sites. Our Managed Magento hosting offers all you need to run your ecommerce site, using 20iCloud, AWS or Google Cloud.

What are the hosting requirement for a Magento website?

When it comes to hosting a Magento ecommerce site, there are several specifications that you should consider to ensure your site runs smoothly and efficiently.

CPU: Magento is a resource-intensive platform, so it's important to choose a server with a powerful CPU. We offer a plan with 2 core processors that is easy to upgrade if 4 or more processors are needed at any point.

RAM: Magento requires a lot of RAM to run without any problems. We recommend 4 GB of RAM as the minimum, but ideally, 8 GB or more would be better.

Storage: Magento also requires a lot of storage space, so it's important to choose a server with plenty of disk space. Look for servers with at least 50 GB of storage, but ideally with 100 GB or more . With our 20iCloud Managed Magento hosting, you have at least 80GB of SSD storage and our recommended 4 core plan includes 160 GD of super-fast SSD space.

Bandwidth: Ecommerce sites can generate a lot of traffic, so it's important to choose a hosting provider that offers sufficient bandwidth to handle this traffic. An average  ecommerce store should plan with a bandwidth usage of at least 500 GB. Our AWS and GCP plans include 2GB free bandwidth and  additional usage is pay as you go, charged at £0.01 / $0.01 per GB. 20iCloud Magento Hosting starts with 4 TB of free bandwidth.
