If you already have an existing online business or are looking to launch a new online store that sells products or services to customers, then an eCommerce hosting plan is a good option for you.
The processor you select for a server will impact how efficiently the server is able to handle the daily traffic from your customers. Larger online stores with thousands of products and many active users will need much more processing power than a shop with only a few SKUs.
It’s best to take a look at the recommended processor requirements of the ecommerce cart software you are using. Many will provide you with resources to understand the best processor for your needs.
Dual Xeon E5 processors are a popular choice for many large online stores, so they are a good starting point for most site owners.

Ecommerce hosting solutions need to be hosted on premium network connections to ensure that users around the globe can quickly order products from your business. If a user navigates to your site and sees it loading slowly, they are much more likely to head to your competitors.
Take a look at the network upstream providers that your hosting provider utilizes. A company that stands by its network connections will provide you with test IPs and files to show how the networks perform with your location. You will also want to work with a provider that offers excellent connectivity to your client’s location so if your target audience is located in London, you will want the server to also be hosted there.
You should look for a provider that offers Tier 1 connectivity and redundant network routes. A Tier 1 network is a network that can reach every other network on the Internet quickly with low-latency routes.
Another important factor is the Service Level Agreement (SLA) that the provider guarantees on network connectivity. An online store needs to be accessible at all times, so look for a provider that offers a 100% network uptime guarantee.
The network speed and bandwidth of a server is critical as you want your potential client’s to be able to quickly access your order form and become a customer. Any high latency that occurs during this experience could end the relationship before it even begins.
It is important to choose a bandwidth plan suitable for the number of customers who will navigate your site. 1Gbps network ports are the best option for ecommerce hosting as it ensures that any client connecting to the server can browse your products at an exceptionally fast rate. We also offer 10 and 20Gbps connections in some locations.
