First of all, thanks for your visit to my website. I would like to deliver the most honest reviews about the Magento hosting solutions base on my team experience after a long time working with magento in development and administration management from 2008. Hope this article can help you who need to choose the best hosting solution for your Magento website. Feel free to leave your feedback in comment area, I will do my best to keep response in reasonable time.

Now let ‘s go with the problem and the solution

PROBLEM:

If you meet one of these problems, I would like to recommend you to take a look at my solutions:

• You already have a host for your Magento website but it doesn’t work as you expect, it ‘s too slow and usually out of memory.
• You are on way to find the best magento host for your magento development and publish. You want to figure out what is the best in the case there too many hosting providers.
• Your magento shop is too slow with current number of users and you need to improve your magento website speed by moving to the better host.
• You are on way to expand your business and need the very stable host solution for many magento websites where you can also host other websites like wordpress, drupal, joomla, prestashop, opencart…
• And the latest reason is you are having a very good magento shop, it ‘s fast enough but you still want to get it become amazing fast by the high caching technique with the expect loading speed should be from 100x to 250x in practice.

If you are in one of above problems, welcome to my solutions, hope you will get something useful for your businesss

SOLUTION:

If you have a host, you will have no way to change the configuration of server hosting. If you have VPS/Server, instead of showing you a lot of instructions how to install and configure a very good VPS/Server what meet magento requirements, here is a list of hosting providers who already have all of features what meet perfect with Magento requirements. Almost them have a good price with different offers and the very good thing is their support team work very well, it just one of requirement we really need when we choose a good hosting provider. Even though if they are not perfect but they support well, they will become perfect.

1. Siteground

• UNLIMITED Disk space, Bandwidth, Domains
• Price: $6.95/MONTH
• 30 DAY Money Back Guarantee
• FREE DOMAIN for LIFE
• ONE-CLICK TO INSTALL MAGENTO
• Free MAGENTO THEME
• Home page: www.siteground.com

- One FREE domain for LIFE + One-Click install Magento + Free Magento theme intergration, Siteground is really meet with almost Magento user who is on way to find a good solution for Magento. I have to say that my customers usually choose this solution even though they have many Magento shop what is working on ther hosting providers, the reason is Siteground have the special optimize package for Magento where they actually do the optimization for Magento with a lot of features in showcase.

- And, you know, Siteground is the only one hosting provider on the world support Memcached and Server cache for hosting from maybe Oct of 2012. With cloudflare support already, Siteground have 3 cache levels for you approve your site, It ‘s impress me a lot for these features, it ‘s again speed up my website.

- The another reason why I bring Siteground as top of recommend magento hosting provider is the business focus and optimization for Magento, you even bring your Magento work even better 3 or 4 times with the resource configuration 100% only for Magento with Siteground Semi Dedicated Hosting. The future will never limit for your Magento hosting even though you have very many visits/day.

- Well, sometimes I would like to put Siteground as the dedicated choice for Magento Hosting without any other providers in recommend list but as I told, I only used Siteground from 2010 and need more time to test more about their quality, until now, everything is working very smooth. Highly recommend Siteground as your Magento Hosting. Highly recommend to use Siteground service.

2. Hostgator

• UNLIMITED Disk space, Bandwidth, Domains
• Price: $7 ~ $10/MONTH (>= Baby package)
• 45 DAY Money Back Guarantee
• $100 GOOGLE ADWORDS Credit (US only)
• ONE-CLICK TO INSTALL MAGENTO
• Home page: www.hostgator.com

- COUPON code: ‘OFF25PERCENTNOW‘ to get 25% OFF

-Establishment in 2002, HostGator has been a world-leading provider of web hosting service. Don’t worry about their services because they have 750 employees with many talents where easy to help you to get your Magento shop working in the right way.I really like their One-click install Magento, it save me a lot of time every time I deploy for my customer, it take you 5 mins to get Magento up and running instead of an hour to upload a heavy Magento source and database.I do know many hosting providers but the reason why I choose Hostgator as the best of the best not only because their hosting quality for Magento work very well but also almost other opensources I used, everything work well without any problem.

- I am not clever enough to figure out why they can have the server meet a lot of requirements like that but keep everything work very smooth but it ‘s the truth. And one more thing is support, sometimes it will take 2 or 3 hours but they always priority and they know what issue is urgent, if your hosting down, they will help you right away.

- Our team work with them for a long time from 2008 and we didn’t meet any problem when we use their services especially Magento hosting. So why I put them as the second choice? Just because I can see they don’t want to focus much for only Magento hosting server even though they are very good now.Anyway, highly recommend to use their service.

3. Arvixe

• UNLIMITED Disk space, Bandwidth, Domains
• Price: $7/MONTH (Personal class PRO)
• 60 DAY Money Back Guarantee
• FREE DOMAIN for LIFE
• Home page: www.arvixe.com

- Start up Business from 2003 Arvixe is my second favorite hosting provider for Magento, it ‘s stable, flexible and everything is very good, just my team didn’t use too much their service so that I have to put them as the second rating. With Hostgator I get 3 Magento sites work well in Baby hosting package with $6.96/month. It ‘s amazing cost for Magento hosting, but it ‘s really work very well in this cost. With Arvixe, I do hosting for 2 Magento sites in one package Personal Class PRO and it work well too. But I have to say these sites only get <= 100 unique visits/day.

- Anyway, Arvixe is really one of best choice for you, for Magento hosting you should consider, other than that it have FREE domain for LIFE with package >= 12 months, it ‘s really full solution for a site up and live.

- Again, Highly recommend to use Arvixe service, you will use them again after first project.

4. Green Geeks

• UNLIMITED Disk space, Bandwidth, Domains
• Price: $4.95 ~ $10/MONTH
• 30 DAY Money Back Guarantee
• FREE DOMAIN for LIFE
• ONE-CLICK TO INSTALL MAGENTO
• Home page: www.greengeeks.com

- FREE domain for LIFEand One-Click to install Magentomake me consider to choose their service as the first option after 2 options above. But in the long run and for safe I usually choose option (1) and (2), it just because I used their service a lot, not because I think their service is not good enough. I only use Green Geeksfor 2 years now, and it make me surprise with the cost and the quality.

- To me, I don’t know how they can make money with their cheap deal but anyway, I reallyrecommend to use their service. Not sure why I put them as third option, if I can, I will put Arvixe and Green Geeks as the same rank for Magento host solution.

After all, if you already have a fast magento server but you still want to increase the speed up to around 100x or 200x more than normal magento host and you willing pay much for it, we also have a perfect solution for you with the a dedicated server include the combination of Linux OS + Apache + Nginx + Varnish with the configuration only for Magento. It ‘s too advantage so that I can’t write down all of instructions here, if you really want to have it, please contact us for more information or send us a request for a free quote.

Again, be careful in hosting selection or you just lose money, let ‘s say if you choose iPage to host Magento, you will be totally wrong, even though iPage is very good to host WordPress but it can’t host Magento because the memory_limit is lower than 250MB and iPage have no VPS or Dedicated server option, so that you will have no way to expand your hosting plan. Ok,  both HostGator and Ipage are brands of one and the same company among many others but the truth is HostGator do optimize hosting for magento in the case iPage don’t really want to offer any magento package, you will get the answer no from iPage when you want your hosting work with Magento.
