What are the hosting requirements 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 alttrixcloudCloud 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. alttrixcloudCloud Magento Hosting starts with 4 TB of free bandwidth.
