Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Steady traffic only

Availability

Budget friendly

Fine for a catalogue that sells steadily. Shared processor time makes it the wrong place for a flash sale.

Scale up for the sale, back down after

Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, by hand, usually within the hour — then scaled back once the sale is over. No rebuild, no migration, no new IP, and nothing for you to reconfigure afterwards.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to where most of your customers check out. Checkout is the slowest step in a store and the one shoppers abandon first, so the round trip that matters is theirs, not yours.

Ecommerce VPS in Charleston — FAQs

Should I host near Charleston or near my customers?
Near your customers. Checkout is where latency turns into abandoned carts, and that round trip belongs to the shopper. Atlanta is closest to Charleston, but if most orders come from elsewhere, host elsewhere — the price is identical.
Will it hold up on Black Friday?
Memory, cores and disk go up on the same server, by hand, usually within the hour, and back down afterwards. No rebuild and no IP change. Tell us the date in advance and we will have it ready before traffic arrives.
Which hardware class should a store use?
General purpose for almost every storefront. Dedicated once a slow checkout costs more than the price difference. Availability only for a catalogue that sells steadily and never spikes — and Burstable not at all, since it throttles exactly when a sale lands.
Is it PCI compliant?
We provide a PCI-ready configuration on request — hardening, patching and isolation. Compliance itself depends on how your store handles card data, so it is a shared responsibility rather than something a server can grant on its own.
How much does ecommerce hosting cost in Charleston?
From $136.35 USD per month, though $147.35 USD on General purpose is the sensible starting point for a live storefront. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
