PrestaShop server deployment process

This service includes the preparation and optimization of a new server for your store.

A powerful server may not speed up an old store that has bugs or has never been optimized. For maximum results, along with the implementation of the server, it is worthwhile to perform optimization of the store, which together with the new server guarantees maximum increase in performance tests, such as Google Page Speed, GTMetrix, etc.

We configure servers according to Open Source standards and solutions as well as popular server tools and packages. Every server administrator and experienced programmer will be able to continue working with the server using our configuration.

What does the server deployment service include?

• Installation and configuration of a new VPS or dedicated server
• Configuration of data files system, cache and database
• Optimization of server components that work with PrestaShop engine
• Implementation of free SSL and CloudFlare (optional)
• [Optional] Docker, GIT, development version
• [Optional] Encrypted database and file backup system, with sending copies to an external server

What is not included in the server deployment service?

• Server fee: 200-600 PLN net / month
• Payment for Plesk panel: about 400 PLN net / year
• Additional server for backups: about 300 PLN netto / year (it can be your old FTP server)
• Store optimization
• Migration of files and database to a new server: 1000 PLN net
• Migration of mailboxes' content (you can create new mailboxes in Plesk panel)

How long does it take to set up the PrestaShop server?

It takes about 10 working days to set up the server for your store and migrate the data.

Working environment

PrestaShop server we run and optimize in a Linux Debian or CloudLinux environment. Optionally, we can implement a virtualization environment to streamline work on the store for multiple developers. Ask your team if they use Docker for example.

• PrestaShop classically, directly on the server
• PrestaShop + Docker
• PrestaShop + Kubernetes

Server infrastructure for PrestaShop

• WWW server - a server with Apache/Nginx + PHP-FPM software, which responds to queries directed to the store's domain address (among other things, displaying subpages of the store). Servers additionally contain, among other things, software protecting against attacks.

• Database server - server with MySQL database software*

• Backup location - the place where backups of all store files and database are stored - it can be Amazon Web Services S3, Google Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces or your old FTP server. Copy packages are encrypted, securely transferred and stored, and old copies are automatically deleted. Optimal server size for copies should be 15x larger than the total size of your database and store files.

• GitLab - contains a Git (version control system) repository. Git contains at least two branches containing the store's code - development and production version. Git takes over the full automation of source code change deployment and version synchronization. The GitLab system can also serve as a panel of works and tasks at the store and a tool for communication with developers and employees of the store.

PrestaShop Backup Pro - backups to an external server

Additional paid service.

Backups of all the files of the production store and the database are made regularly in larger or smaller intervals.

1. Compressed archives are created and are password-protected.
2. Created archives are sent to external servers.
3. Old archives are automatically deleted.

You can read more about backups here.

DEV + GIT - development version and store code control system

Additional paid service.

If you don't know GIT and Docker or you don't use a programmer who knows these technologies - skip this option or change programmer. If you work with one or more developers, we recommend implementing GIT version control and code collaboration system. This option will work perfectly with Docker virtualization environment.

You can read more about dev versioning and git system here.

Load tests

Before releasing the server we perform load tests and make the necessary corrections. You get a store ready to be tested from the usability side and to run it. Satisfaction and speed guaranteed.

Warranty

The configurations are covered with a 3-month warranty, during which we optimize the implemented solution. In case of any problems after the warranty period, we provide paid technical and programming help via our helpdesk.prestashow.pl system.
