What are the system requirements for OpenCart?

OpenCart doesn't need anything specific to run on a hosting server except support for PHP and MySQL. This makes Linux-based servers inherently more suitable for the job. There are a few PHP libraries that need to be available as well - Curl, ZIP, Zlib, GD library, and mdstring.

Are there any limitations on the number of products or categories in Opencart?

OpenCart does not limit you in any way - you can add as many products or categories as you wish. That being said, keep in mind that the bigger your online store, the more resources it will need to operate effectively. Always make sure you have enough system resources available on your hosting account.

Is Opencart hosting suitable for large ecommerce websites?

OpenCart is a highly scalable shopping cart. The platform gives plenty of growth opportunities, so it can be utilized by startups and large-scale businesses alike. Furthermore, ScalaHosting offers custom enterprise hosting plans for big ecommerce clients, for which constant uptime and security are a must.

What are the benefits of OpenCart VPS hosting?

There are numerous important benefits of OpenCart VPS hosting services - consistently high performance, better security, more reliability, and limitless scalability. All of those are not available in shared hosting due to its legacy design.

Do you offer AWS OpenCart hosting?

You may select one of the AWS data centers to power your OpenCart cloud virtual server. ScalaHosting partners with AWS and allows customers to choose between multiple data centers in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Can I upgrade my OpenCart VPS?

Yes. You can scale your CPU, RAM, or storage at any time — instantly, with no migration or downtime.

How do I install OpenCart on my hosting account?

The OpenCart install is extremely easy with ScalaHosting. All you need to do is log in to your SPanel and find the Softaculous one-click installer under Software/Service . Choose OpenCart from the list and follow the steps. You can count on an immediate activation afterward. Alternatively, you can ask the ScalaHosting Support Team, and they will configure OpenCart for you absolutely free of charge.

Can I use third-party extensions on my OpenCart hosting?

Yes, you are absolutely free to use any of OpenCart's extensions on the ScalaHosting services. Naturally, if you want to work with a premium third-party solution, you would have to settle the licensing fees directly with the developer.

Tech support team

As a shop owner, you are facing all kinds of tough decisions in the quest for success - which gateways will suit you best for online payments, what kind of shipping methods you can support, how to calculate extra fees for taxes and delivery costs…

But what about your web server and hosting services? Someone's got to take care of them as well, right?

Our trained hosting experts will always be there to help you with server maintenance, software installations, and expert advice whenever needed. You can contact us via live chat, ticketing system, or email and get the friendly and prompt attention you deserve.

Zero Cost, Zero Downtime Website Migrations

Do you have an OpenCart project with another hosting company but hope to avoid the hassle of moving it yourself? ScalaHosting is fully prepared to help with the transition for free. The data migration is fast, effortless, and involves zero downtime.

The only thing we need from you are the login credentials for your existing account with the other host. You can also specify the desired time for the transfer, and we will make sure to move your website's content as requested. Our Support Team will double-check everything afterward to confirm the transition is successful.

Quick and easy migration by OpenCart hosting specialists
Move your files, database, plugins, and themes
Transfer your OpenCart store at the most convenient time

Enhanced Performance for OpenCart Stores

One of the main goals for every online shop owner is to make their ecommerce site as fast and responsive as possible. Visitors have very high demands when it comes to page load times, and you have to ensure your website exceeds all expectations.

Here is how ScalaHosting helps you achieve the best performance:

Ultra-fastprocessors with power of up to 4Ghz
OpenLiteSpeed + LiteSpeed cache module available
Object Cache - ensures faster loading speeds by up to 3x
Blazing-fast NVMe SSD storage space
Gzip compression enabled
Easy Cloudflare CDN integration

Grow Your OpenCart Store with a Scalable Cloud VPS

We understand that store owners need to be adaptable as the ecommerce environment is quite dynamic. Marketing campaigns, new product launches, and promotional deals can easily lead to traffic spikes, and your hosting package better has all the needed resources.

Not a problem when you have a cloud VPS!

Upgrade/Downgrade
Guaranteed CPU
Never Run Out of Resources

OpenCart Security at Another Level

Online shops are among the most frequent targets for hackers. That's far from surprising, knowing the amount of personal and billing data they process every minute. Popular ecommerce platforms offer some basic security features but that's far from sufficient.

At ScalaHosting, we take cybersecurity seriously, from the choice of data centers to the impenetrable OpenCart server configuration.

You can expect:

SShield security monitoring
Daily offsite backups and free data restore
24/7 Proactive monitoring
Automatic OpenCart core and plugin updates
Brute Force protection and Login Attempts limit
Automatic IP blocking in cases of suspicious activity
Free SSL certificates

Cluster Solutions for Large OpenCart Stores

Large online stores often exceed the capacity of a single hosting server. They need more processing power, more bandwidth, and more security features to handle all the traffic coming their way.

Book a meeting with a ScalaHosting Expert and take advantage of a custom enterprise solution that meets your specific needs. We can set up numerous cluster nodes in one or more data centers to cover any project, regardless of its size.

OpenCart Hosting Features

ScalaHosting offers free backup solutions to protect your OpenCart store data at all times. Even if you face an issue, you can easily find and restore an archive to revert your website to working condition.

Host Unlimited Domain Names

Get a free domain name with ScalaHosting upon signup to start your new online shop adventure. You can host multiple domains on your virtual server and manage unlimited websites in a single hosting account.

CDN Integration

Enjoy lightning-fast content delivery like never before. Activate the Cloudflare CDN from your control panel and benefit from a vast network of interconnected servers in different data center locations to always serve content close to your users.

Start building your OpenCart website in minutes with a one-click installation from Softaculous. Enjoy a user-friendly interface with SPanel and save time dealing with domains, files, databases, and emails for your online store.

Development tools

Create your stunning OpenCart site with the help of a wide range of development tools. Whether you need to use a cache module, set up cron jobs, or view your error logs - ScalaHosting has the tool for you!

Dedicated IP

Your IP address plays a key role in connecting with your audience. With the help of a dedicated IP, you can improve your email deliverability, secure your website/email access, and avoid falling into blacklists.

Root Access

ScalaHosting gives you full root access to customize your OpenCart hosting services as you wish. You can install third-party software, choose between multiple PHP versions, alter server settings, and many more.

Effortless Collaboration

Working with outside developers and collaborators for your OpenCart ecommerce store has never been easier with our easy FTP access. You can add unlimited sFTP users and specify their permissions for maximum security.

Have your Emails Always Reach the Inbox

Blacklists Monitoring & IP Protection

We keep your IP clean and with a good reputation. Each IP address is monitored very closely, and if it happens to be blacklisted - we're immediately notified to unblock it.

Inbound/Outbound Anti-Spam Tools

Filter and block inbound email messages to restrict outbound spam with the built-in sophisticated anti-spam tools.

Free Dedicated IP Address

A dedicated IP address reduces the possibility of your IP landing on a blacklist because of another user and for your emails to be filtered out of their destination inbox.

What our OpenCart Customers Say About Us

Receiving a prompt, positive response when having a question or issue is very important, particularly when working with live ecommerce sites and is a major consideration when choosing a hosting partner. I moved the 90+ websites I manage across to ScalaHosting almost two years ago after receiving a less than satisfactory service from the previous hosting company. It's a decision I've never regretted and has really been beneficial to my business.

I was having troubles with my online store going down every day losing visitors and sales. I had no choice but to look for a new provider. Then I found ScalaHosting . Those people moved my site for free and without downtime. My website never stopped loading. I'm obliged to share my feedback here to help other people in a situation such as mine before switching to ScalaHosting. I recommend them with both hands and thumbs up!
