Performance Optimization: Many hosting providers offer SSD storage, caching solutions, and CDN integration to ensure fast load times, essential for a smooth shopping experience. For instance, SiteGround offers advanced caching and Brotli compression to speed up your store by up to 500%.
Security and Backups: Security features such as SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and daily automated backups are often included. Bluehost, for example, offers a range of backup plans with easy restoration options, while DreamHost includes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for secure transactions.
Security Features: Linux services benefit from robust security features, including SELinux or AppArmor profiles that restrict what services can do. Additionally, services can run as specific users or in chroot environments, reducing the risk of system compromise.
