Ann Arbor, Michigan-based provider of diverse hosting services for high-profile and eCommerce sites, Nexcess, recently revealed that it is bringing its Magento web hosting package to the U.K., for the benefit of e-commerce start-ups within the U.K.
Magento is the chosen e-commerce platform for the businesses aspiring to grow and expand their online businesses. With this expansion of Nexcess, the official Magento hosting provider, the European webmasters get a new set of low-end options for hosting the Magento shopping cart platform.
Through its Secured Isolated Platform (SIP), Nexcess offers a PCI (News - Alert) compliant and custom web hosting environment that is secured and optimized specifically for hosting Magento eCommerce websites. Nexcess’ "SIP-100" and "SIP-200" Magento web hosting packages are designed for small, entry-level Magento stores were previously available exclusively in the United States. The recent expansion makes it available in the U.K. These hosting plans will benefit the small Magento stores that do not have the same high system resource requirements as Nexcess' Magento Enterprise Edition users.
“We're very pleased to be able to offer this cost-effective, custom solution for smaller Magento eCommerce start-ups in the U.K. Since our recent expansion from the United States to Europe, we have seen a tremendously positive response; however, in listening to our clients in Europe, we found this gap in our UK service offerings to be something that was still highly desired,” president and CEO of Nexcess, Chris Wells commented in a media release.
A few months back, Nexcess announced a new line of managed cluster solutions designed to work specifically for websites that use the Magento shopping cart platform. The new offering, according to the company was designed with the scalability needs of large, enterprise clients in mind, providing the technical platform for limitless growth potential on successful Magento shops.
Additionally, these complex hosting arrangements will provide increased security measures to protect sensitive financial data via private firewall and intrusion detection appliances, the securing of database and file servers behind the Nexcess private network, and private VPN access for the site's owners, the company said in a separate release.
