PrestaShop is the best answer for building a functional, selling website quickly. Register with UFO.Hosting and launch your PrestaShop stores with no red tape. Install the CMS and get on calmly with selling, rather than hunting for the cause of yet another 500 error.
There is no need to create dozens of parameters by hand or get to grips with server magic. The control panel lets you install PrestaShop in literally a few clicks. Even if you have only ever launched WordPress before, you will work it out without a headache.
We will not let you down during promotions, seasonal sales or after launching advertising campaigns. UFO.Hosting comfortably withstands traffic spikes. Our servers hold the load steadily, with no sharp drops in speed.
The CMS is updated regularly and requires compatibility with current versions of PHP and MySQL and with caching. Our hosting supports current technology, and the store runs noticeably more briskly: product cards, filters and catalogue search all open faster.
Sometimes store owners install a new module, change the template or update the CMS — and the site suddenly breaks. At that moment automatic backups are a real help. Our company’s staff will help roll the site back and restore a working version without panic or a sleepless night.

* The bandwidth allocated to each server node is not guaranteed and depends on the selected VPS plan. Higher plan provides increased connection speed.
Look through the plans and choose the one that suits. At the start, the basic plan is enough for a small store, especially while the catalogue is not too large. After registering you will get access to the control panel, where you can manage domains, site files, databases and mail.
Install PrestaShop automatically. The system creates the database itself and prepares the main settings. The process usually takes a few minutes. Once installed, all that is left is to enter the store name, the language, the currency and the administrator details. It is all fairly friendly — no intimidating terminals and no long instructions.
Once the CMS is installed you can move on to stocking the store. Add products, categories, photographs and payment and delivery methods. At this stage many people start to notice how strongly the site’s speed affects how shoppers feel. If product cards open instantly, a visitor chooses their purchases calmly. If everything lags, they simply close the tab. Patience runs out very quickly on the internet.

After installing PrestaShop on hosting it is important to carry out a basic configuration of the system, so that the online store runs stably and is ready to be stocked. First of all, log in to the admin panel and change the default administrator password for a complex combination.
We also advise changing the admin panel URL from /admin to something unique (admin_secure123, for example). That will improve the site’s security and protect it from hacking.
Next check the store’s main parameters. Enter the company name, the contact details, the currency, the language and the time zone. These settings are in the general parameters section and affect whether prices, orders and notifications display correctly.
The next stage is setting up SEF links and SEO. Enable human-readable URLs and add the store name, a meta description and a favicon. That will help search engines index the site faster and improve how shoppers perceive the store.
After that, connect an SSL certificate and activate HTTPS. A secure connection is essential for transmitting customers’ data safely and has a positive effect on shoppers’ trust.
Do not forget to set up email for sending order and registration notifications. It is advisable to check straight away that sending works, using a test message.

Basic help
Yes, if the store is still small or mid-sized. For a start, shared hosting for PrestaShop is usually more than enough. When traffic grows, you can move to a VPS — a virtual server with resources of its own.
