UK based Magento hosting
Managed Magento hosting on dedicated and cloud servers, run by the same UK team that builds and supports your site. Because we look after both, your hosting is set up for your Magento store from the start.
20+ years managing eCommerce infrastructure
We have managed eCommerce hosting since we were a retailer ourselves, running international B2C and B2B sites that had to stay fast and available around the clock. We bring that experience to every Magento site we host for our clients.
Magento Open Source
Managed hosting for Magento Open Source on dedicated or cloud servers. We look after the full stack, including PHP, MySQL, Redis, Varnish and Elasticsearch, and it is maintained by the same developers who work on your site.
Adobe Commerce
Managed on-premise hosting for Adobe Commerce, for businesses that want full control of their environment and data, with experienced Magento developers looking after the servers.
Adobe Commerce Cloud
If you are on Adobe Commerce Cloud, or thinking about moving to it, we can manage your Starter or Pro environments, including deployments, environment set-up and performance tuning.
Why host your Magento site with your development agency?
Most Magento hosting companies don't build Magento sites, and most Magento agencies don't manage servers. We do both. When a site slows down, a hosting company may say the code is at fault and a development agency may blame the server. At magic42 one team is responsible for both, so the problem is found and fixed without being passed back and forth. Our managed Magento hosting covers server set-up, configuration, monitoring, patching and scaling, all handled by a UK-based team that knows your site. We manage your releases so they don't take the site offline, and we size your server to match your real traffic. In short, we look after your hosting day to day, rather than renting you a server and leaving you to it.
99.9% uptime guaranteed
As a former retailer, we know what it costs when a site goes down. We keep your store available with redundant infrastructure, proactive monitoring and automated alerts, so we usually know about a problem before your customers do. We use dedicated bare metal servers, which give us full control of the hardware and avoid the slowdowns that can come with shared hosting. With Cloudflare or Fastly in front of your site, your store stays fast and available during busy periods, bursts of bot traffic or problems further upstream.
Proactive monitoring
We monitor server resources, application errors, response times and security events, and automated alerts go straight to our development team. If we spot something that needs attention, such as a growing database, memory running short at peak times or a pattern of bot traffic, we'll let you know and recommend what to do before it becomes a problem.
Daily backups
We back up your full Magento site every day, including the database, media and configuration. Backups are stored on a separate server, so they are safe even if the hardware fails. If something goes wrong, such as a failed release, corrupted data or a security incident, we can restore your site quickly, without waiting on a third-party hosting provider. Because we manage both the code and the server, we know exactly what needs restoring and can get you back online with minimal disruption.
Hosting built for Magento
Every hosting environment we set up is built for Magento and the way it works. Our standard Magento hosting includes:
- PHP - the right version, memory limits and OPcache settings for your version of Magento
- MySQL or MariaDB - tuned for the way Magento uses its database
- Redis - for sessions and full-page cache, which keeps the load on your database down
- Varnish - an optional page cache, set up to work with Magento's own cache clearing, for faster page loads
- Elasticsearch or OpenSearch - fast catalogue search, even with a large number of products
- Cloudflare or Fastly CDN - faster delivery around the world, plus bot and DDoS protection
- We tune each of these to your site, including your catalogue size, your traffic and your integrations.
SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt
Every site we host has an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, renewed automatically, so HTTPS comes as standard.
Security patches
We patch at two levels: the server's operating system and Magento itself. Operating system security patches are applied promptly, using a standard set-up we manage centrally. When Adobe releases a Magento security patch, our developers review it, test it on your staging site and then apply it to your live site. We can do this because we manage both your hosting and your code.
We make sure your hosting is fit for purpose and grows with your site.
Hosting that scales with your business
Your hosting needs will change as your business grows. A set-up that copes on launch day may struggle on Black Friday or with a much larger catalogue. We can add resources when you need them, without moving you to a new environment or provider. Whether you need more memory ahead of a busy trading period, a separate server for a new store, or changes to handle more integration traffic, we make the hosting changes alongside any development work.
Why UK-based Magento hosting matters
If most of your customers are in the UK, hosting your Magento site on UK servers means faster page loads, which helps both your conversion rate and your Core Web Vitals scores. It also makes data residency simpler. UK hosting doesn't make you GDPR compliant on its own, but keeping customer data in the UK avoids the extra work of international data transfers. And because our team is UK based, we work the same hours you do. If there's a problem at 9am on a Monday, you're not waiting for a support team on the other side of the world to start their day.
Do you have concerns about:
- Slow loading times
- Security breaches
- 500 Errors from Magento
- Regular downtime with releases
- Slow search results
- Poor value for money
- Lack of attention paid to your platform
