If you've been searching for the right time of hosting, this might be the right choice for you.

<b>What is a Magento Server?</b>

Any hosting server capable of running Magento qualifies as a <strong>Magento Server</strong>. This open source e-commerce web application was created in 2008 and provides a great way to manage and run your online store. Today, it's owned by eBay and provides one of the most popular e-commerce solutions found online.

<b>How do you Know if Your Server can Run Magento?</b>

Some basic requirements must be met by the hosting server to run Magento. Requirements include:
<ul>
	<li>Linux X86, X86-64</li>
	<li>Apache 1.3x and above</li>
	<li>PDO_MySQL</li>
	<li>simplexml</li>
	<li>mcrypt</li>
	<li>hash</li>
	<li>PHP</li>
	<li>SOAP</li>
	<li>MySQL</li>
	<li>SSL</li>
	<li>curl</li>
	<li>iconv</li>
	<li>GD</li>
	<li>No less than 256Mb memory_limit</li>
</ul>
The easiest way to check your server is by downloading the magento-check file from the Magento website. Once you unzip and upload the .php file to the Magento directly, you will know whether or not the server is capable of running Magento.

Of course, a better way to ensure you have a Magento Server is choosing the right hosting company. All hosting packages from ITX Design meet or exceed the minimum requirements for Magento.

<b>Pairing Magento with the Right Hosting</b>

If you want a fully customizable e-commerce website, you must pair Magento with the best hosting possible. This is the only way to truly get a Magento server perfect for your needs.

Specific features must be considered when choosing a Magento server. It starts with the type of hosting you choose and the company providing that hosting. A true Magento server has to be a dedicated server or it's just a <a title="magento hosting" href="https://itxdesign.com/magento-hosting/">Magento hosting</a> package. However, you can start with shared hosting for Magento and work your way up, if you're budget cannot support VPS or dedicated hosting.
