OpenCart VPS — from €5.49/mo
Launch your OpenCart store in minutes — a light, fast server for your catalogue, with a 5-hour test period before payment, completely risk-free
Launch OpenCart now
An OpenCart VPS is a virtual server with full root access for the light and popular open-source e-commerce platform. You install Linux, PHP and MySQL in exactly the versions your OpenCart build needs, and add extensions, themes and payment modules without any shared-hosting restrictions. The catalogue and cart stay fast because the resources belong to you alone. Plans start at €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period before payment lets you check your storefront speed first.
Plans
VPS for OpenCart
A catalogue of up to 500 products runs on Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB). A store with 1,000–5,000 products needs Standard 4 (8 vCPU, 8 GB). 5-hour test period before payment.

Extensions and themes
Install any OpenCart extensions, themes and payment modules without hosting restrictions — the server is entirely yours.
A fast storefront
NVMe storage and dedicated resources keep the catalogue and cart responsive even with a large product count.
Full control
Root access, your own PHP and MySQL versions, cache tuning and cron — you manage the whole store yourself.
How to launch OpenCart on a VPS
Choose a plan and an image
Pick a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select a Linux image: Ubuntu, Debian or another distribution for your stack.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself — so the configuration stays fully under your control.
Deploy OpenCart
Over SSH or the KVM console install PHP, MySQL and OpenCart, then connect your extensions, theme and domain.
A server sized for your OpenCart store
We will help you match a plan to your product count and traffic: how much RAM and vCPU the store needs and how much NVMe space to reserve for the database and images.
We can also help with caching and HTTPS setup. A heavier platform calls for a Magento VPS, and an overview of popular engines is on the VPS for CMS page.

Any version — you install PHP and MySQL yourself in whatever versions your OpenCart build requires. There are no hosting restrictions; the environment is entirely yours.
Yes. Root access lets you add any OpenCart extensions, themes and payment modules that shared hosting would not allow.
A store with 1,000–5,000 products runs on 8 vCPU and 8 GB — Standard 4 at €10.99/mo. A small catalogue of up to 500 items fits Standard 2 (€6.99).
Yes: the files and database move to the VPS, the storefront is checked by IP, and only then is DNS switched. Shoppers see practically no downtime.
Enable caching, move images to separate storage and upgrade to a bigger plan. The upgrade adds vCPU, RAM and disk space without reinstalling the system.
You take backups yourself in the control panel in a couple of clicks — automatic backups are not included in the plans. It is also handy to export the database and the image folder via cron.
Yes, Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Windows Server are available at installation. You can also deploy your own image via the KVM console.
Enable caching and OPcache, keep images on NVMe and add a CDN. We can help with the basic performance setup.
