A shop is only as reliable as the hosting under it.
PrestaShop is free to run, so the decisions that matter are where it runs and who answers when checkout breaks at nine on a Saturday night. Our cloud platform is load balanced with no single point of failure, databases are backed up every day and kept for 60 days, and our UK team is on hand 24/7.
Install PrestaShop in one click, or we move your existing store across free. The plans differ in storage and how many sites you can host: PrestaShop saves several resized copies of every product photo, so size the plan on your catalogue and upgrade in the client portal when you need more. Each database can grow to 1GB, which covers most small and medium shops.

What a store needs from its host
HTTPS on every page
Free SSL certificates, issued automatically when your domain uses our nameservers, so checkout and customer accounts are never served over plain HTTP.
Orders you can get back
Daily database backups kept for 60 days, so a bad module update does not cost you a week of orders.
Room for the catalogue
15GB to 75GB of SSD storage depending on plan, with a CDN in front of your product images.
What PrestaShop 9 asks for, and what you get
PrestaShop publishes system requirements for each major version. This is how our cloud platform lines up against PrestaShop 9, the current release.
| Requirement | PrestaShop 9 needs | Our cloud platform |
|---|---|---|
| PHP | PHP 8.5 recommended | Chosen per site, anything from 5.3 to 8.5 |
| Database | MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.2 at minimum, a recent version recommended | MariaDB 10.11, unlimited databases of up to 1GB each |
| PHP memory | memory_limit of at least 512M recommended |
128MB by default, raised per site in the control panel |
| Web server | Apache 2.4 or later, or Nginx | Apache with full mod_rewrite support, for friendly URLs |
PrestaShop 9 figures from the PrestaShop 9 system requirements, checked November 2026. Projects update their requirements with each release, so check the current page before a major upgrade.
Taking payments
Most PrestaShop payment modules, including those from Stripe and PayPal, hand the card step to the payment provider, so card numbers are entered on the provider's side rather than stored in your shop. Your job is to keep PrestaShop and its modules up to date and to serve every page over HTTPS.
Free SSL covers the HTTPS part. If you would rather have a paid certificate with a warranty, we sell those too.
Upgrading from PrestaShop 8
PrestaShop 8 recommends PHP 8.1 and version 9 recommends PHP 8.5, and PHP is set per site here. Move your store across on the PHP version it runs today, take a backup, upgrade PrestaShop, then raise the PHP version once your theme and modules are confirmed compatible.
For a dry run, put a copy on a second site in the same account (Business and above host unlimited sites) and upgrade that first.
