Magento hosting for large catalogs and many store views
Magento Open Source runs large catalogs, many store views and complex pricing. It brings its own search engine, cache and message queue, so it needs a server of its own: run Magento 2.4.9 or Mage-OS on a HyperDC VPS, VDS or dedicated server sized for your catalog.

Tell us how big your catalog is and how many store views you run, and our team will recommend the right server. Or start today on a Linux VPS and install Magento with our guide.
How big a server does Magento need?
Magento runs OpenSearch, Valkey and RabbitMQ next to PHP, so it starts larger than other store systems.

Starting points: Magento publishes software requirements rather than server sizes. OpenSearch needs memory of its own, and upgrades can need up to 2 GB of RAM.
A server built around your Magento store
Magento is a stack of services. On your own server, every version and setting is yours to choose.
Search and caching
OpenSearch for Magento’s catalog search, Valkey for sessions and cache, and Varnish for full-page caching.
Cron jobs and queues
Order emails, stock updates and indexers run in the background; set up cron and queue consumers as each system documents.
HTTPS on every page
Free Let’s Encrypt certificates for your domain, so every page, from the login to the checkout, loads over HTTPS.
Staging next to production
Run a copy of the site on a second subdomain to test updates, themes and extensions before they reach your visitors.
Root access, your rules
Every Linux VPS, VDS and dedicated server comes with full root access: you choose the versions, the add-ons and the security settings.
Backups included
Free weekly and monthly backups come with every VPS and VDS plan. For data that changes every day, keep copies of your own as well.
Locations on three continents
Run your server in North America, Europe or Asia, close to the people who use it. The order form estimates the latency from where you are to each location.
Room to grow
Start on a VPS and move to a bigger plan, a VDS with NVMe storage or a dedicated server when your data and users grow.

Frequently asked questions
Can Magento run on web hosting?
No. Magento needs OpenSearch, a message queue and background workers next to PHP, which shared hosting does not run. Choose a VPS, VDS or dedicated server; for a small store, PrestaShop or OpenCart on web hosting are lighter options.
What does Magento Open Source 2.4.9 need?
PHP 8.5, MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 11.8 or 12.3, OpenSearch 3, Valkey 9, RabbitMQ 4.3, Varnish 8, Nginx and Composer 2.10, on Linux. You also need authentication keys from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace to install it with Composer.
What is Mage-OS?
Mage-OS is a community distribution of Magento Open Source maintained by the non-profit Mage-OS Association. Its releases follow Magento 2.4.9 and install with Composer from the Mage-OS repository without Adobe keys.
How do I keep my store secure?
Apply security releases soon after they come out, especially for Magento, which has had critical flaws exploited in the wild. Keep admin URLs private, use two-factor login for staff, remove installer folders and back up the database before every update.
Does my store handle card data?
It should not. Use your payment provider’s hosted payment page or embedded fields, so card numbers go straight to the provider and never touch your server. That keeps your security obligations small; the provider’s module for your store system sets this up.
Can you move my store to HyperDC?
Migration is free on our Linux VPS plans. We copy the files, media and database, and you switch DNS during a quiet hour once the store works on the new server; take new orders on one server only.
