Magento 2 Hosting UK
Built for Speed and Scale
Dedicated NVMe servers running the complete Magento 2 stack — Varnish, Redis, OpenSearch and Sentinel WAF — managed 24/7 by UK Magento specialists. Free migration. 14+ years of Magento experience.
What makes Magento 2 hosting different
Magento 2 is one of the most demanding ecommerce platforms in production today. It needs a specific software stack — PHP 8.3 or 8.4, MySQL or MariaDB, Redis for sessions and cache, OpenSearch for catalogue search, and a full-page cache like Varnish — and it needs that stack tuned together rather than just installed.
Most "Magento hosting" plans on the market are generic cPanel shared hosting or unmanaged VPS with the Magento name attached. The customer is left to install, configure, secure and maintain Redis, OpenSearch and Varnish themselves — or to do without them and accept slow page loads, expensive crashes during peak traffic, and security gaps that show up in the next penetration test.
EveryHost takes the opposite approach. Every Magento 2 hosting plan ships with the complete stack pre-installed and tuned for Magento Open Source by engineers who have worked on Magento since 2008. We patch the OS, the cache layer, the database, the WAF and the PHP runtime. You patch your store. Each team focuses on what they're best at.
The most common failure point for Magento 2 stores is the cache layer. Without Varnish configured correctly, every page request hits PHP — and on a busy store during a sale, PHP workers queue up and the site degrades under load. Redis misconfiguration causes session locking, which serialises checkout requests and produces the kind of slow, intermittent checkout failures that are almost impossible to diagnose without Magento-specific experience. OpenSearch, if left unmanaged, accumulates index fragments that slow catalogue search over time. These are not edge cases — they are the day-to-day operational reality of running Magento 2 in production. EveryHost monitors cache hit rate, session store performance and search index health on every server. When something drifts out of tolerance — and on a long-running Magento store, things do drift — we catch it before it affects your conversion rate, not after a customer complaint reaches your inbox.
The complete Magento 2 stack — included as standard
Every Magento 2 hosting plan ships with all of the below. No upsells, no add-ons, no "Enterprise tier required".
Varnish Full-Page Cache
HTTP accelerator serving cached pages in milliseconds, bypassing PHP entirely. Pre-configured VCL tuned for Magento 2 — including smart cache invalidation when products and prices change.
Redis for Sessions & Cache
In-memory data store handling Magento sessions, configuration cache and backend cache. Eliminates filesystem locking under load and shrinks checkout response times.
OpenSearch for Catalogue
Required by Magento 2.4+ for catalogue search. We install, configure and maintain OpenSearch on every server — most generic hosts leave this to you.
NVMe Dedicated Storage
Single-tenant NVMe SSD — 3,500+ MB/s sequential reads. No noisy neighbours, no shared spindles. Your database queries finish before generic hosts have even started.
Sentinel Security Suite
Web Application Firewall, malware scanning, DDoS mitigation and uptime monitoring included as standard. Protects Magento admin, checkout and customer data from day one.
cPanel Optional
Run with cPanel for familiar control-panel administration, or go fully managed and let our engineers handle everything. Your choice — both options included.
UK Data Centres
All servers physically located in UK data centres — lower latency for UK shoppers, full UK GDPR compliance, your data never leaves the country.
Free Migration Included
Our Magento engineers move your store — files, database, extensions, SSL, configuration — at no cost. Most migrations complete within 24–48 hours with zero downtime.

Your store runs on its own NVMe server. No shared CPU, no shared disk, no noisy neighbours hammering MySQL when your sale starts. Performance is predictable from quiet Tuesdays to Black Friday peaks.
Full stack, no upsells
Varnish, Redis, OpenSearch and Sentinel WAF are included as standard — not paywalled behind enterprise tiers. The Magento components your store actually needs are there from your first plan upwards.

Is Your Host Ready for Magento 2.4.9?
Magento 2.4.9 (released May 2026) drops PHP 8.2 support entirely and introduces Valkey as the official cache store. Most shared hosts and generic VPS providers are not ready. EveryHost is.
Magento 2.4.9 stack requirements
- ✓PHP 8.4 or 8.5 — PHP 8.2 is dropped. PHP 8.3 is upgrade-path only, not for new deployments.
- ✓MySQL 8.4 LTS or MariaDB 11.4 — MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.6 no longer supported.
- ✓OpenSearch 3.0 — Replaces the deprecated Elasticsearch 7 stack. Requires reindexing on upgrade.
- ✓Valkey 8 — Official replacement for Redis as the session and cache store.
- ✓Varnish 7.7 + Nginx 1.28 — Incremental updates; VCL configs and server blocks need testing.
- ✓4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM minimum — Required to compile Magento. Shared hosting cannot meet this.
EveryHost is 2.4.9-ready
- ✓PHP 8.4 and 8.5 available across all plans — switch versions without a ticket.
- ✓MySQL 8.4 LTS deployed and tuned for Magento's query patterns.
- ✓OpenSearch 3.0 running as standard — no upgrade ticket required.
- ✓Valkey 8 available as session and cache store — Redis still supported for backward compatibility.
- ✓All servers are NVMe dedicated — no shared resources. Minimum 8 GB RAM on entry-level plans.
- ✓Free migration included — we move your store and upgrade the stack as part of onboarding.
