OpenCart hosting — BB STUDIO

What an OpenCart store needs from hosting

OpenCart is lightweight but picky about its environment. Version 4.x needs PHP 8 and the cURL, GD, Zip, mbstring and XML extensions: without them payments, photo uploads, module updates and product imports break. On cheap hosting you often have to chase support for some of them.

We check and configure everything OpenCart needs before the move: the PHP version for your build and modules, extensions, upload limits and permissions on cache folders. The store starts on the new server with a clean error log.

Backups are critical for a store: every day we keep a copy of the files and database, orders and customers included. If a module update breaks checkout, we restore a working version within minutes.

OpenCart hosting plans

For a store with up to a few thousand products we recommend Business. For large catalogs, supplier imports and high-traffic ads, choose Pro.

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 OpenCart

01

PHP and extensions

cURL, GD, Zip, mbstring, XML, mysqli — everything payments, product photos and module installs depend on.

02

Limits for imports

We tune upload and execution limits so an Excel import or a supplier’s XML feed does not stop halfway.

03

Fast NVMe SSD

Catalog, filters and search query the database hundreds of times a minute — NVMe drives keep category pages fast.

04

Order database backups

A daily copy of files and the database. A lost order is lost money, so on Pro we keep copies for 30 days.

05

Cron for modules and feeds

A system cron for Prom, Rozetka and Google Merchant feeds, currency updates, abandoned-cart reminders and other scheduled modules.

06

SSL for online payments

Free https with automatic renewal — without it payment providers and Google Merchant Center will not work properly.

Why OpenCart stores move to us

  • We move your store for free — products, orders, customers and modules included.
  • We build and maintain online stores, so we know what breaks in OpenCart after updates and how to fix it fast.
  • After the move we test checkout, payments and customer emails — not just whether the home page opens.
  • Turnkey help with your store’s domain, email and DNS.
  • Invoice and certificate from a registered sole proprietor for your accounts; the price is fixed for the whole paid period.

How we move an OpenCart store

Your store keeps running on the old host until we have checked the copy on the new one.

  1. Audit

    We check the OpenCart version, modules and database size and recommend a plan for your catalog.

  2. Copy and test

    We deploy a copy on our server and test the cart, payments and admin panel.

  3. Switch-over

    We switch DNS at a quiet hour so no orders are lost; SSL and email work straight away.

  4. Follow-up

    For the first few days we watch the error log and speed and fix anything that comes up.

OpenCart hosting FAQ

A small store with a few hundred products runs on Start for ₴150/mo. Most stores do best on Business at ₴250/mo with unlimited sites and 25 GB NVMe. Large catalogs need Pro at ₴400/mo. Pay yearly and get 10% off.

We work with OpenCart 3.x and 4.x and ocStore. Before the move we check which PHP version your modules need; if something is too old to run on modern PHP, we will say so and suggest an update.

Yes. We move the files, the database with products and orders, email and SSL with no downtime, and your first 2 weeks are free. After the move we test the cart, payments and customer emails.

Yes, as long as the plan matches the traffic. For stores running ads with a large catalog we recommend Pro. Before a big campaign, write to us — we will check speed and suggest what to cache or compress.

Yes. We set up cron so feeds update on schedule and check that the files are reachable over https. If a module builds the feed, we make sure it has enough execution time.

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.
