Magento is one of the most preferred eCommerce application used by different customers. Magento runs fine on both Windows and Linux OS and is supported on all our Hosting plans. But we recommend Linux based plans to host your Manegto based website. We provide Cent OS on our Linux based plans which is considered as the most stable flavor of Linux and is widely used.

Do I also get any search engine benefits from the Magento Hosting plan?

Yes Magento Hosting UK will provide you with efficient search engine optimization tools that will help you to get sufficient online traffic. The search engine optimization tools provided with Magento will help you to get a better ranking in the search engines so that your online business can be promoted efficiently.

Yes, Magento search engine optimization tool will help you for better ranking but you should not just rely on this tool alone rather try to follow all SEO tactics and build strong content & quality backlink profile.

Mangento shopping cart is supported on all our hosting plans. According to the requirements of Magento, it's recommended that you choose Linux hosting platform. Initially, choosing one of our Linux cPanel hosting plans would be a better option as you can always upgrade your hosting plan if your requirements increase in future.

I also need to know if the MySQL databases are supported, as this point is highly important for my business.

**Ross** · #11 (**permalink**) 14-06-11, 10:54 AM

As MySQL database is compatible with both Windows and Linux, we provide MySQL on all our Hosting plans at no additional cost. If you can provide us with your space and bandwidth requirements, we will be able to suggest you a hosting plan based on your requirements.

Carol · #12 (**permalink**) 16-06-11, 05:42 AM

I am looking for approximately 400 MB web space and and a 4000 MB bandwidth.

**Ross** · #13 (**permalink**) 16-06-11, 06:45 AM

For using Magento CMS and MySQL, we would recommend a Linux based hosting plan. As per your requirements I would suggest you to opt for our BASIC cPanel Hosting plan. It has 500 MB space and 5000 MB Monthly bandwidth. It will be sufficient to start with as you have a option to upgrade your hosting plan as your website grows. We provide Softaculous with our UK cPanel Shared Hosting plans via which you can install Magento and many other CMS's within a few clicks.

Previously, we used to offer Fantastico auto-installer with our cPanel hosting plans which was also a good auto-installer, however, considering the fact that Softaculous offers installation of many more scripts and applications, we decided to offer Softaculous auto-installer with our cPanel hosting plans that too for free just for the benefit of our customers

Jaazmine · #15 (**permalink**) 05-07-11, 06:46 AM

The main benefits of using Softaculous include the following:

Wide range of scripts
User friendly interface
Fast installation process
Ability to install scripts that are manually installed
Ability to install JavaScript Libraries
Ability to take backup of necessary applications
Giving an Overwrite option for already existing files
