    Stablepoint Magento hosting — what they offer

    Stablepoint is a UK-based hosting provider offering managed dedicated servers for Magento, with plans starting from £89 per month. They offer fully managed and monitored hosting with twice-daily offsite backups included. A public cloud option on AWS or Google Cloud Platform is also available, though this is listed at additional cost on top of the base dedicated server price.

    Stablepoint's Magento hosting page is relatively light on stack detail — Varnish, Redis, and NGINX are not referenced. Their page states that "Magento requires Elasticsearch" for catalogue search, citing the Magento 2.4 requirement. Adobe's documentation has since updated this: from Magento 2.4.4 onwards, OpenSearch is required, not Elasticsearch. Merchants running or planning to upgrade to current Magento versions should verify which search engine Stablepoint provides.

    We cover the key stack differences below factually, with reference to Adobe's published Magento system requirements.

    Adobe recommendation: Varnish (highly recommended)
    Stablepoint

    Varnish 7.7Adobe recommended
    Configured with Magento's official VCL, tuned for ESI blocks, checkout exclusions, and session handling. Pages served in milliseconds — PHP never runs for cached requests.

    Component

    Fixed monthly vs variable cloud charges
    Stablepoint
    Base price + additional for cloud
