Prestashop server requirements


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm migrating an oscommerce to prestashop 1.6.x
We are evaluating a new server also.

Almost 2000 products / 20000 customers.

 

At present we are using a dedicated cloud, 1 CPU, 2Gb ram, centos 6.4 + plesk.

No optimization done.

The same server it is used for the production oscommerce and the test prestashop. Compared to oscommerce prestashop it's slow.
 

Preferred budget is almost 40Euro month, but it can be more if no solution is found at that price.

What server do you suggest me?
I mean, its better to choose 2 or more CPU, or more RAM?

Have you got some optimization tips?

 

 

Thank you.

Depending on your traffic, you may need more CPU and RAM.

 

Regarding the server control panel it is a personal matter...

I prefer cPanel because it's easier to setup for PrestaShop requirements and maintenance (IMO).

 

As for the server configuration, assuming you'll use PrestaShop1.6.1.0, I recommend:

  • Apache running suPHP/suExec for automatic permissions on files and folders;
  • Compiled with PHP 5.5 / Mcrypt / SOAP / XML / cURL / Rewrite / Deflate / Safe Mode Off / No CageFS;

As for PHP configuration: 

  • magic_quotes_gpc = off
  • memory_limit = 512M
  • max_execution_time = 300
  • max_input_time = 300
  • upload_max_filesize = 20M
  • post_max_size = 20M
  • max_input_vars = 10000
  • allow_url_fopen = on 
  • safe_mode = off
