Frequently asked questions
OpenCart needs PHP 8+, MySQL/MariaDB on NVMe and SSL for payment security. A small store fits on powerful shared hosting; thousands of products need a VPS from 2 GB RAM.
Up to a few hundred products comfortably. If the catalogue grows to thousands or traffic is heavy, the database starts to lag — time to move to a VPS with dedicated resources.
With a 99.9%+ uptime SLA, daily backups, priority support and guaranteed resources (KVM VPS or dedicated server). Stability matters more than the lowest price.
An SLA is a service-level agreement where the provider guarantees specific uptime (e.g. 99.9%) and compensation if breached. For business it's a legal reliability guarantee.
European data centres combine solid infrastructure, GDPR compliance and low latency to a Ukrainian audience (25–40 ms). It's the optimal balance of price, speed and stability.
Germany (Frankfurt) is Europe's largest internet hub with the best infrastructure. The Netherlands offers permissive law and proximity to UA. Poland is the cheapest option with low latency.
Размещаюсь в Украине на Схосте. Хороший пинг, быстрый шустрый хост. В общем то тех. поддержка тоже хорошая, не знаю к чему прикопаться, чтобы быть обьективным.
Техподдержка вообще отстойная, жду ответа от 3 до 4 часов, решают проблему так же! Нету никаких онлайн мессенджеров для быстрой связи, есть телефон и тот стационарный через который не дозвонится никак... В ОБЩЕМ НЕ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!!!!!!!!
Регулярно не работает сайт! Сначала думал это временно, но вот опять.. сижу а сайт вне доступа. Обещания красивые но на деле это не так. Очень разочаровался!
