Managed Mage-OS Hosting UK
EveryHost hosts Mage-OS, the community distribution of Magento Open Source, on managed servers in a UK data centre. Mage-OS 3.x is built on Magento Open Source 2.4.9, and our servers are set up with what it needs: PHP 8.5, MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 12.3, OpenSearch 3, Valkey, Varnish and nginx. Managed VPS starts at £119 a month, dedicated servers at £249 and High Availability at £799, all ex VAT, each with a staging environment, Sentinel security monitoring and free migration of your existing Mage-OS store.
The server Mage-OS needs, built for you
Mage-OS 3.x is built from Magento Open Source 2.4.9 code, so it needs the same stack. Every server is built to order on our nginx stack, set to the versions your Mage-OS release needs.
| Component | What Mage-OS 3.x needs | On EveryHost |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Linux in production | A current long-term-support Linux release |
| Web server | nginx or Apache; Adobe tests the 2.4.9 code on nginx 1.30 | nginx, with no control panel |
| PHP | 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5, with Mage-OS's required extensions | PHP 8.5 (or 8.4 if your developer prefers), with every required extension and OPcache |
| Composer | Composer 2, with access to repo.mage-os.org | Composer 2.10, able to reach the Mage-OS package repository |
| Database | MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 12.3 recommended | MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 12.3 |
| Search | OpenSearch 3 recommended | OpenSearch 3, with its memory sized for your catalogue |
| Cache and sessions | Redis or Valkey | Valkey, with separate instances for cache and sessions |
| Full-page cache | Varnish recommended | Varnish in front of the store |
| Cron | Required | Configured for the store |
| Message queue | RabbitMQ optional | Database queues by default; RabbitMQ installed on request |
| Staging | Recommended for testing releases | A staging environment on every plan |
| TLS | A valid certificate on every hostname | Free, auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificates |

Mage-OS hosting plans and prices
Mage-OS runs on all our current plans. Which one suits your store depends on your traffic, catalogue, imports and peaks.
Managed VPS
From £119/mo ex VAT
Includes Sentinel Plus
Isolated virtual servers with guaranteed CPU and RAM, running the full Magento stack built to your setup.
See Managed VPS plans →Dedicated Servers
From £249/mo ex VAT
Includes Sentinel Pro
Full dedicated hardware with Sentinel Pro, the stack built and tuned per store for revenue-critical Magento.
See Dedicated Servers plans →High Availability
From £799/mo ex VAT
Includes Sentinel Pro
Multi-node clusters designed for failover and mission-critical Magento commerce.
See High Availability plans →Prices ex VAT. UK VAT at 20% added at checkout. Every plan includes a staging environment, on-server backups, 99.9% uptime and free migration.
Most stores start on a Managed VPS. We recommend a dedicated server above about 5,000 orders a month, for high concurrent traffic or for several stores, and High Availability for a checkout that must keep running if a server fails. To check your own numbers, read the Magento server sizing guide or try the Magento server calculator; both apply to Mage-OS.
What "managed" means for a Mage-OS store
We look after the server and the stack underneath your store. Your developer or agency looks after the Mage-OS application.
What we do
- Build and configure nginx, Varnish, Valkey, OpenSearch, PHP-FPM and the database for your Mage-OS release.
- Apply server-level patches, PHP updates and security hardening.
- Provide a staging environment on the same versions as production.
- Monitor the server, with 99.9% uptime.
- Handle restores from your on-server backups.
- Install free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt.
- Act on Sentinel alerts and tell you what happened in plain English.
- Move your existing Mage-OS store to us, free.
- Install RabbitMQ if your store needs it.
What your developer or agency does
- Apply Mage-OS updates, or ask us to apply them at additional cost.
- Look after extensions, the theme and custom code.
- Convert a Magento store to Mage-OS, with the stack and a staging copy prepared by us.
- Test changes and releases on staging before they go live.
Mage-OS updates and security fixes
Mage-OS delivers Adobe's security fixes as new Mage-OS releases, installed with Composer, rather than as separate patches. Mage-OS says its updates typically follow Adobe's within days, and that only the latest release branch receives fixes, so a Mage-OS store needs a routine for regular updates. See the Mage-OS releases page.
Mage-OS updates are applied by your developer or agency, or by us at additional cost if you would rather we did it. Either way they can be tested on your staging environment first. We keep the server, PHP and the rest of the stack patched underneath.
Moving a Mage-OS store, or moving to Mage-OS
Already on Mage-OS
Moving your store to EveryHost is covered by our free managed migration. We move your files, database, extensions, media, SSL and server configuration.
- We assess your current store.
- We copy everything to a staging environment.
- You test the store on staging.
- We schedule the live cutover with you, in your lowest-traffic hours.
Most stores are live within 24–48 hours. Migrations are carried out with minimum downtime. See how our free migration works.
On Magento, thinking about Mage-OS
Converting a Magento store to Mage-OS changes the packages it is built from, so it is work for your developer or agency. Mage-OS's own migration script expects Magento Open Source 2.4.9, so older stores upgrade first.
We prepare the 2.4.9 stack and a staging copy of your store, and work alongside your developer while they convert and test it. Read what Mage-OS is and how switching works and our Magento 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 upgrade guide.
Security: Sentinel and DDoS mitigation
Sentinel is our server-side security monitoring. It watches the server's logs and files for repeated admin password guessing and unusual admin sign-ins, card-skimmer changes to checkout and payment files, malware and unexpected file changes, and scrapers and traffic floods, which it slows with rate limiting.
Alerts go to our UK engineers, who block the source at your server's firewall, deal with the cause and tell you what happened in plain English. Sentinel is not in the request path, so it adds no delay to page loads. It does not replace Mage-OS updates, which are how Adobe's security fixes reach a Mage-OS store.
Managed VPS plans include Sentinel Plus, and dedicated and High Availability plans include Sentinel Pro, at no extra cost. See how Sentinel works.
DDoS attacks are handled separately. Every server sits behind upstream, network-level DDoS mitigation, which absorbs volumetric floods in the network before they reach the server.
Backups
Backups are held on your server, with frequency and retention set by the disk space available, and our engineers handle restores. Keep your composer.json and composer.lock in version control too, so the exact Mage-OS release can be rebuilt.
For a copy away from the server, Bastion off-site backup is an optional add-on, priced by storage.
