Speed & Performance
Magento Containers offers unmatched page loading and response times. You simply won't get this kind of performance in a shared hosting environment, and you won't find it on a low-end dedicated server. Magento Containers easily beats similarly priced dedicated servers in all aspects. Below is a list of the hardware specs:
- Quad Core Intel Xeon Harpertown 3.0 GHz
- 16 GB fully buffered DDR-2 RAM
- Fully redundant RAID-10 disk array
- 1000 Mbps network port uplink switch
100% Uptime
If your store isn't online, you're not making money. We guarantee your website will be available to your visitors all day, every day, by including a 100% Uptime Service Level Agreement with Magento Containers.
Security & Isolation
Unlike shared hosting, which can have hundreds or even thousands of web hosting clients on the same hosting environment, Magento Containers offers complete isolation from other clients. Your Magento Container has dedicated processor cycles and memory.
Plan Details
Below is a side-by-side comparison of the two different versions of Magento Containers we offer.
The Lite version is a semi-dedicated solution, as your container is shared with 4 other people. The Pro version is not shared by anyone else and also comes with root access, making it the perfect choice for large or busy ecommerce stores.

Which Plan Is Right For Me?
The Lite version is perfect for small- to medium-sized websites, while the Pro version is ideal for stores that have 10k or more products and see a lot of traffic. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time for no extra charge. Even if you're on our Split-Shared plan, upgrading is seamless.
We've had a lot of people wondering why Magento Containers Pro is 4x more expensive than the Lite version. The primary difference is the isolation and available resources. The Pro version is a dedicated container, you do not share it with anyone else.
Your container has access to 1 GB RAM, and is burstable to 16 GB RAM. For the price you're paying, it outperforms an equally priced dedicated server hands down.
To put things into perspective, the average price for a dedicated server with the technical specs listed at the top of this page, including full management, would run you between $1000-1100 per month. There's simply no comparison.
