E-Commerce
Infrastructure that keeps your store selling.
An online store is more than a website. It handles product catalogues, customer accounts, orders, payments and integrations, and it needs to stay responsive during your busiest sales. We help you run it on infrastructure that is sized for your catalogue, traffic and growth plans.
Selling in-store and online
Who it's for
Is this your kind of project?
- WooCommerce, Magento and other self-hosted store platforms
- Custom-built e-commerce applications
- Stores preparing for sales events and seasonal peaks
- Retailers connecting online sales to inventory or ERP systems
- Stores outgrowing shared hosting
What it typically needs
The foundations we focus on.
Every project is different, but these are the areas we look at most closely.
A database that keeps up
Product, order and customer data on database resources tuned for the way your store actually queries it.
Room for traffic peaks
Infrastructure planned around promotions, campaigns and seasonal spikes, not just an average day.
Security around transactions
SSL, hardened servers and careful access control for an application that handles customer information.
Integrations that stay connected
Payment gateways, couriers, marketplaces and inventory systems that need reliable outbound connections.
Before we recommend anything
What we'll ask about.
No jargon required. These are the kinds of questions we'll talk through with you.
- 1 Store platform, plugins and extensions in use
- 2 Number of products, orders and customer accounts
- 3 Expected traffic, including campaign and sale periods
- 4 Payment, shipping and inventory integrations

Infrastructure we often recommend
The exact setup depends on your project. These are the building blocks we most often use for projects like this.
- Cloud Servers Flexible virtual servers that can be resized as your application's needs change.
- VPS Hosting Dedicated resources in a virtual private server, for more control and consistency than shared hosting.
- Database Hosting Database environments configured for performance, security and reliable backups.
- Managed Backups Scheduled backups of files and databases, with a recovery approach planned ahead of time.
- SSL Certificates Certificates installed and renewed so every page is served over a secure connection.
- Monitoring Availability and resource monitoring, so problems are spotted early.
