August 20, 2008 – Web hosting provider ProperHost.net (http://www.properhost.net) announced on Wednesday the launch of a new family of hosting plans, tailored specifically for the Magento eCommerce application. Magento is a new open-source eCommerce solution offering merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store.

The Magento hosting plans on offer are powered by fast Intel Q6600 Quad-Core servers, tweaked to deliver optimal performance and speed for Magento sites. Customers may choose between two different plans (starting at $19.95/mo.) depending on the size of their store and their budget. A free Magento installation is provided with each plan.

A complete specification is available at:

“Due to its robust architecture and extensive feature set, Magento is a quite resource intensive application and may therefore suffer from performance issues when deployed in a regular shared hosting environment. By placing only a small number of clients on each server, we have been able to provide a premium service to Magento store owners at the fraction of the cost of a dedicated server. Independent tests have shown a significant performance boost using our optimized solution, compared to many of our competitors”, says Sindre Moe, Director of ProperHost.net.

Magento has gained enormous popularity over the last few months since its official release in April, 2008, and have already won several awards including SourceForge.net’s prestigious “Best New Project 2008”. It is currently the fastest growing eCommerce platform on the market, with more than 30,000 community members and 400,000+ downloads to date.
