1C-Bitrix hosting — BB STUDIO

A Bitrix site in 2026: hosting without surprises

After the sanctions against Bitrix24 and the shutdown of the cloud service in Ukraine, many companies were left with a site on a “boxed” version whose licence can no longer be renewed — and so with no updates. The site works, but every server update is a risk: an old core may not start on a new PHP version, and the host’s support team just shrugs.

With us, you choose the PHP version — from 5.6 to 8.5, separately for each site. Current Bitrix versions require PHP 8.2 or newer, cores up to 22.500 are designed for PHP 7.4, and the oldest sites run on 5.6–7.x. We tune the PHP version and settings to pass the built-in Site Check (System Check) in Bitrix: memory limits, max_input_vars, OPcache and encoding.

We will not try to talk you into staying on Bitrix: the platform is Russian, and there is no legal way to get updates from Ukraine. But migrating is a project of several weeks, and the site has to keep running smoothly the whole time. We give it reliable hosting, and when you are ready, we will help with the migration from 1C-Bitrix to WordPress, OpenCart or our CMS.

1C-Bitrix hosting plans

Bitrix is more demanding than WordPress: the core with its modules, the cache and /upload/ easily take up several gigabytes. We recommend Business for a company site and Pro for a store that exchanges data with 1C. Pay for 1, 6 or 12 months.

You pay for the chosen period against an invoice from a Ukrainian sole proprietor (FOP, 3rd group), with no VAT. The price stays the same until the paid period ends. The domain is paid separately at the registrar’s rate, and we help you register and set it up free of charge.

What we set up for 1C-Bitrix

We prepare the server so that Site Check in the Bitrix admin panel shows no critical errors.

01

PHP for your core

From PHP 5.6 for very old sites to 8.2–8.4 for recent builds. You change the version yourself in the panel — or we do it, after testing on a copy.

02

Apache or Nginx + PHP-FPM

Bitrix is easiest to run on Apache: .htaccess with the rules for search-engine-friendly (SEF) URLs works straight away. Nginx + PHP-FPM is faster, but we set up the urlrewrite.php rules for it separately.

03

OPcache and limits

OPcache, a memory_limit of 256 MB or more, max_input_vars and execution time — so the admin panel, imports and 1C exchange do not break off halfway.

04

Cron for agents

We move agents and email to a system cron (cron_events.php): mailings, data exchange and cache clean-up run on schedule, not when someone visits the site.

05

Daily backups

A daily server-level copy of files and the database — independent of the built-in Bitrix backup module.

06

Composite cache and PageSpeed

Bitrix’s Composite Site mode and the server-level PageSpeed module speed up page delivery. We switch them on if they do not break your template.

Which PHP version does 1C-Bitrix need?

A rough guide by core version (the main module). We confirm the exact version in Site Check before the move.

PHP versionNotesOn our hosting
Current versionsPHP 8.2 or newerUTF-8, mbstring.func_overload = 0PHP 8.2–8.4, MySQL 8
Core 20.x–22.xPHP 7.4, some builds 8.xTest on a copy before moving to PHP 8PHP 7.4 or 8.x after testing
Old sites (before 20.x)PHP 5.6–7.xOften windows-1251 or mbstring.func_overload = 2PHP 5.6–7.4 with settings tuned to the core

Why Bitrix sites move to us

  • Migration is free: files, database, /upload/, PHP settings, cron, email and SSL — with no downtime.
  • We match PHP to your core instead of forcing an upgrade: the old site runs on its own version while you plan the move.
  • We help with the move away from Bitrix to WordPress, OpenCart or our CMS — keeping the design and URLs so that you do not lose your Google rankings.
  • If changes break your site, we restore it from yesterday’s backup and explain what exactly went wrong.
  • The price is fixed for the whole paid period, with an invoice and certificate from a registered sole proprietor for your accounts.

How we move your Bitrix site

Usually 1–3 days, depending on the size of /upload/ and the database. Your site keeps running on the old host the whole time.

  1. Audit

    We check the core version and edition, encoding, site size, modules and integrations — and pick the PHP version and plan.

  2. Copying the site

    We move the files and database, update the credentials in dbconn.php and .settings.php, and set up PHP and cron.

  3. Testing and switch-over

    We run Site Check, test the site before changing DNS, and carry over the SEF URL rules, SSL and email. The domain is switched with no downtime.

  4. Final check

    We check the forms, cart, payments, 1C exchange and agents. After that you can cancel the old hosting.

What most often breaks when moving a Bitrix site

We check for these mistakes as part of the free migration.

  1. The database credentials were updated in only one of the two files — dbconn.php or .settings.php.
  2. The new default PHP version is too new for the old core, which then shows a blank white screen or a 500 error.
  3. Wrong database encoding or mbstring settings, so the site shows garbled characters instead of Cyrillic text.
  4. Agents and email run “on hits”: without cron, mailings and data exchange only happen when someone visits the site.
  5. The SEF URL rules from .htaccess were not carried over to Nginx, so inner pages return 404.
  6. The cache and old archives from /bitrix/backup/ get moved along with the site — extra gigabytes and a long move.
  7. The 1C exchange breaks off because of file size and execution time limits.

What we move and set up for free

Moving a Bitrix site to us costs nothing. Here is what the work includes.

Files, database and /upload/

A full copy of the site without the clutter: we do not move the cache or old archives from /bitrix/backup/.

dbconn.php and .settings.php

New database credentials, encoding and SQL mode (sql_mode), constants and the temporary folder — adjusted for the new server.

PHP for your core

PHP version, memory_limit, max_input_vars, OPcache and mbstring — to match the requirements of your Bitrix version.

SEF URLs and redirects

Apache with .htaccess works as before; for Nginx we move the urlrewrite rules into its configuration.

Cron, email and SSL

Agents on a system cron, mailboxes, MX, SPF, DKIM and an SSL certificate.

Site Check

We run Bitrix Site Check and test the forms, cart and 1C exchange.

We move your current site to our hosting for free. Moving from Bitrix to another CMS is a separate service: migration from 1C-Bitrix from ₴12,900.

1C-Bitrix hosting FAQ

For a company site on Bitrix we recommend Business — ₴250/mo, unlimited sites and 25 GB NVMe. For a store with 1C exchange and a large /upload/ folder, choose Pro at ₴400/mo: 50 GB and priority support. You get 5% off for six months and 10% off for a year.

Most likely, yes. We have PHP from 5.6 to 8.5, so we will find the right version for your core — even if it has not been updated for years. Before the move we test the site on a copy and run Site Check.

The site keeps working after the licence expires, but with no core or module updates and no support from the vendor. There is no legal way to pay the Russian vendor for a renewal from Ukraine, so we recommend planning a move to another CMS.

Yes. We move the files, database, /upload/, PHP settings, cron, email and SSL with no downtime, and you do not pay for the first 2 weeks on the new hosting. We need access to your current hosting and the site’s admin panel.

Yes. We set file size and execution time limits so catalogue and order uploads do not break off. After the move we run a test exchange and check prices and stock levels.

Apache is simpler for a move: .htaccess with the SEF URL rules works unchanged. Nginx + PHP-FPM is faster, but it needs separate rules for urlrewrite.php — we set them up ourselves. You switch the mode in the site settings.

Sites on “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” are fine. Boxed Bitrix24 with CRM, tasks and chats needs a separate push server and far more resources to work properly, so regular hosting is not suitable for it — it is better to plan a move to another CRM.

Yes: SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and cron are available on every plan. You manage sites, email, and the PHP version and mode in our own control panel — or, if you would rather not deal with it, just write to us and we will do it.

Choose a period — 1, 6 or 12 months — and pay against an invoice from a Ukrainian sole proprietor (FOP, 3rd group) with no VAT. The price stays the same until the paid period ends.
