About PrestaShop

UK PrestaShop Hosting - NVMe SSD, PHP 8.1, Free SSL

PrestaShop hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides the NVMe SSD storage, PHP 8.1 environment, and UK-native routing that PrestaShop stores need for fast product browsing and reliable checkout performance. PrestaShop is a feature-rich open-source ecommerce platform used by over 300,000 stores worldwide, particularly popular among UK merchants who need granular product attribute management, multi-currency support, and a large library of modules without monthly SaaS fees. PrestaShop's performance is database-intensive - every product listing page and checkout step triggers multiple MySQL queries, and slow disk I/O multiplies these into perceptible page delays. Glitch Servers runs PrestaShop on AMD Ryzen hardware with Gen4 NVMe storage and UK-native routing through AS212868, reducing database query times and keeping TTFB low for British shoppers. Every plan includes PHP 7.4 through 8.3, MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.x, mod_rewrite for clean SEO-friendly product URLs, cron job support for PrestaShop's automated email and cart recovery tasks, free SSL certificates, and unlimited professional email addresses.
