Infrastructure that facilitates rather than hinders
Every second of loading time costs conversions – and every outage costs money. That’s why the basics matter in e-commerce.
Fast loading times
NVMe storage and guaranteed 3.5 GHz CPUs in the Power Pool keep the shop and checkout running smoothly, even when shopping trolleys are full.
Peaks without panic
The Kubernetes AutoScaler automatically handles sales promotions and seasonal business – after which the environment scales back down again.
Secure right through to checkout
SSL certificates, cloud firewalls and daily cBacks protect your online shop, customer data and turnover.
The GDPR as a selling point
Customer data is stored in C5-attested German data centres – a sign of trust for buyers and data protection officers.
Typical use cases for e-commerce hosting
Running successful online shops with high order volumes requires reliable systems and fast response times: automated scaling, NVMe performance and a cloud infrastructure built for e-commerce.
Scalable hosting for high-revenue online shops
Whether seasonal campaigns or unexpected peaks: with ccloud³ VMs you adjust your resources flexibly and ensure smooth performance even with high visitor numbers.
