I'm on OVH using VPS Cloud Classic. There you have 3 different packages according to bigness of dataspace and core use.

 

You need to have basic server administration skills for these packages. It is nothing for noobies.

 

The best OS is Linux. IIS you will have several problems with rewrite and rights, cause: windows don't uses mod_rewrite and the rights are set on high server configuration level and not flexible on file and folder level.

 

Mac I never tried, but from what I know Prestashop is a MAC Company.

[jefathey]

thanks for your comment
what type of linux you suggest 

ubuntu

lamp

debian

centos

etc ?

[selectshop.at]

Ubuntu, Debian. From what I heard Centos 5 and Prestashop are not really friends, but I personally never tried and there is a special problem with TLS on Centos5: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/521100-paypal-needs-to-change-to-tls-12-how/page-2?do=findComment&comment=2313552

thank you my friend

There is no best VPS. In my experience, I can only think about "working for some time". Customer support usually distinguishes bad and good providers.

[vekia]

ovh datacentre is good, in my opinion. They have mechanism to protect their hosts agains ddos attacks etc.

And of course - if you, or your employee knows how to configure it from console, you will be happy

[jefathey]

[jefathey]

[jefathey]

what are you recommend digitalocean or OVH

[selectshop.at]

as I told, I'm on OVH, Vekia is also recommending OVH

[jefathey]

it required a Post code in england
is it ok to add any Post code ?

[selectshop.at]

Why not ? Do you think it is not OK for you to ask customers complete address ? Postcode is for to localization. I cannot see any bad behaviour on this.

[jefathey]

what i mean iam not from England iam from egypt so i'll but any postal code not mine

[selectshop.at]

Oh I see..... This depends on which OVH you are buying your package. In Germany for ex. there is no need to add postal code.... In UK they want a postal code.

 

I think your nearest OVH is Tunis: https://www.ovh.com/tn/ but you can select other countries on top of nav bar.

[jefathey]

thank you very much i have purchased for the lowest plan 

one last question do you prefer install control panel such vestacp,zpanel,AJENTI or not
and if you prefer thant which panel should i use ?

I took Plesk with ubuntu and afterwards installed ngnix from Plesk and changed/optimized configuration of the server via SSH (putty).

Prestashop is fine under Centos 6, which supports TLS 1.2 just fine.

[jefathey]

I like www.hetzner.de personally.

 

I began with a VPS and it was quick enough to function well.

 

As this is quite heavy on the SQL, I recommend getting one which is based upon "SSD" or "NVMe" storage (NVMe is a newer form of SSD that's quicker - especially for SQL) and I'd also suggest a minimum of 2 vCores for SQL based application. 1 vCore will work, but 2 will be a noticeable improvement in the speed of your main store as well as the back office (configuration page for you).

 

At least with Hetzner, the cost of a system with 2 vCores and 50GB SSD-based storage is very cheap.

 

I used to use OVH but for the last couple of years their order system and customer service is very poor... Hetzner are better in that area.

 

I recommend Hetzner's CX20 option and they will be OK with you providing your Arabic ID documents... they are also quicker... as a new customer you should have your server within 24-48 hours whereas OVH will take 1-2 weeks to confirm your documents and setup the server.

well I'm an ex-Hetzner user. After 7 years dedicated server, I changed to cheaper and more up-to-date OVH servers. I don't think that Hetzner will provide support and docu in Arabic. Hetzner is a 100% concentrated German (German spoken) territorial provider.   The offers for other countries are external rented webspace. They don't have own datacenters outside Germany.

OVH does not have a datacenter in Egypt. Therefore English is standard language. If you need a provider in Egypt, you should search on the net for a provider nearby you. Be aware that most of the international big providers, don't have datacenters in Egypt due to the infrastructure which is not fully expanded in this area.

[vapecity]

The way I read jefathey's comment was that OVH were asking him for English or English translation of his ID documents... rather than jefathey asking for support in Arabic.

 

If he does want support in Arabic then yes, he will need to find a local hosting company / reseller.

 

The Hetzner servers are quite up-to-date... I also regularly get more stable pings from the Hetzner network. My server is Skylake based with NVMe storage.

 

Hetzner will provide support in German and English.

[jefathey]

the problems with OVH solved by phone call
i never see any site run such fast

thanks 

[vapecity]

Glad you got it sorted

[jefathey]

yes its realy fast i just have a problem to point my domain in hostgator to the vps in ovh

[musicmaster]

I like www.hetzner.de personally.

 

I am not an OVH fan either. I started with the account that they recommend to build your shop before you switch to the dedicated system they have for Prestashop (not the cheapest one). It worked for a very small shop, but with more products I couldn't even regenerate the images). Now a happy DigitalOcean user.

 

One question about Hetzner: what kind of accounts are those? Can you have more than one domain on them?

[jefathey]

i've tried DigitalOcean its more easy to use but i feel OVH Faster

coming from VM environments  I don't think there is 'best' vps.  Virtual means you can be paged out or there is mix of hosting accounts some with more favor than others.  I think the only way to really know is to have domain monitored externally to report 'hangs', (page outs).  Normal days are fine but during busy shopping periods, that can be real issue at wrong time.

 

For me vps is just slight step up from shared where shared may disiallow basic thing like mod_expires or mod_defalte, this to take one to next up hosting, vps. If at 'all' grow your business to allow for budget of fully managed dedicated.  Happy day, el

Now OVH is the best, but you can choose Linode, Ramnode, Vultr. If your customers are in EU, I recommend that you choose Contabo.com.

You can read some review and get Contabo coupon on this link: https://hawkhostcoupon.webflow.io/
