AWS for Magento, with Rackspace
We design and manage cloud based Magento solutions on well architected AWS infrastructure in collaboration with Rackspace. This approach gives you the performance, resilience, and cost control that modern E‑commerce needs.
What this means for you:
– High availability: Deployments use multiple AWS Availability Zones for strong uptime and failover. We offer deployment options in Australia, the USA, and New Zealand to keep your store close to your customers.
– Cost savings: By using AWS Savings Plans and managed pooled resources, we secure lower rates and higher utilisation. We pass these savings straight on to you.
– Better value than going direct: Our combined AWS and Rackspace partnership unlocks pricing, tooling, and managed services that are often not available when buying direct.
– Scalable by design: Capacity can be scaled up for promotions and busy seasons, then scaled back to control costs.
– Managed security and updates: We follow AWS best practices and keep your stack current so you can focus on sales, not servers.
We believe our commitment to advanced, secure, reliable hosting and friendly, responsive support makes us one of the most dependable Magento hosting providers in the industry.
