osCommerce Hosting
Hosting tuned for your osCommerce store. LAMP stack, one-click install via Softaculous, free SSL and CloudFlare CDN on every plan.
From your first store to a high-volume catalog.
osCommerce runs on a standard PHP + MariaDB stack, so every Ultra hosting tier supports it. Most stores start on Shared Web Hosting and scale up to a Managed VPS or dedicated server when traffic, order volume, or background processing demands it. Renewal prices match introductory pricing across every tier.

Everything an osCommerce store needs, included.
Hosting open-source shopping carts since 2002. No upsells for the basics your storefront actually needs.
PHP + MariaDB
The exact LAMP stack osCommerce was built for. PHP 7.4 through 8.3 selectable per domain, MariaDB tuned for the catalog and orders tables, and a current TLS configuration for payment-gateway connections.
Softaculous 1-click
osCommerce installs in under a minute through Softaculous: pick the domain, the database name, the admin login. No downloading tarballs, no setup wizard URL to find.
SSL + CloudFlare
Free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal on the storefront and admin URL. CloudFlare CDN integration with one click for always-on DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and global image caching.
Daily Backups
JetBackup runs automated daily snapshots with 30 days of restore points. Roll back individual files, the orders database, or the whole account in one click if a theme tweak or add-on breaks something.
24/7 In-House Support
Real Ultra employees, not a third-party call center. 12-minute average first-response time on tickets, with a team that has actually configured payment modules, debugged shipping calculators, and recovered hacked osCommerce installs.
99.9% Uptime
Owned Dell PowerEdge hardware, on-site staff, RAID + UPS, Cisco backbone, redundant power. Your storefront stays online when an order is waiting to be placed.
A proven LAMP stack for a proven shopping cart.
osCommerce has been shipping open-source storefronts since 2000. Ultra has been hosting them since 2002. The PHP + MariaDB stack, the Softaculous installer, the free SSL, and the daily backups are all included by default. No add-on tier required to run a real store.

osCommerce on hardware we own.
osCommerce is one of the longest-running open-source shopping cart platforms on the web. It provides a full-featured storefront with product catalog management, customer accounts, shipping modules, and thousands of community-contributed add-ons. osCommerce runs on PHP and MySQL and can be installed through Softaculous.
What you get on Ultra hosting
Every Ultra hosting plan gives osCommerce the LAMP stack it was designed for, plus the operational extras a real storefront actually needs. CloudLinux account isolation keeps your store separated from neighboring accounts on shared infrastructure. cPanel handles email, DNS, databases, file management, and SSL provisioning from one screen. The Softaculous app library covers osCommerce plus 100+ other PHP applications if you want to run a blog, a forum, or a knowledge base alongside the store. Free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal, free CloudFlare CDN integration, free site migration, daily JetBackup, and 24/7 support from Ultra employees who have configured these stacks for two decades are all included at the introductory price you sign up at.
When to move to a VPS or dedicated server
Most osCommerce stores live happily on shared hosting. When traffic, order volume, or background processing (large product imports, full re-indexing, custom scheduled tasks) starts pressing against the shared CPU allotment, the same cPanel account migrates cleanly to a Managed VPS or dedicated server. Browse the full application hosting catalog to see how osCommerce sits alongside Magento, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, and the other shopping carts we host on the same infrastructure, or see the osCommerce entry on our hosting features page for where it fits in the broader stack.
What osCommerce customers ask before choosing a plan.
The questions our sales team gets every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.
Which versions of osCommerce do you support?
Softaculous on Ultra hosting installs the current stable osCommerce branch (the long-running Community Edition / Phoenix line) in one click. Older 2.3.x sites import without issue on PHP 7.4 through 8.1, and our support team can advise on the right PHP version for any specific add-on or template you depend on. CloudLinux's PHP Selector lets you pick the version per domain so a legacy install can keep running while a modern store runs on PHP 8.x on the same account.
Is osCommerce one of the apps in Softaculous?
Yes. osCommerce is in the Softaculous app catalog on every Ultra shared, WordPress, reseller, VPS, and dedicated plan. Pick the domain, the database name, the admin login, and Softaculous handles the database creation, file install, and admin setup. The store front and Admin Tool are ready in under a minute.
Can I migrate my existing osCommerce store to Ultra for free?
Yes. Free site migration is included with every Ultra hosting plan and our technicians will move your existing osCommerce store for you. Open a support ticket with your current host's cPanel or FTP credentials and a database dump (or just the cPanel login) and we copy the files, import the database, recreate email accounts, stage the new copy on a temporary URL, and coordinate the DNS cutover to minimize order downtime.
What PHP version should I run osCommerce on?
The current osCommerce Phoenix branch runs on PHP 7.4 through PHP 8.3. We default new Softaculous installs to PHP 8.1 for the best balance of compatibility and performance with the most common osCommerce add-ons. PHP 7.4 stays available via CloudLinux HardenedPHP if you have a legacy 2.3.x store with add-ons that haven't been ported yet, with critical security fixes back-ported to keep the older PHP branch safe.
Does the plan include SSL for the storefront?
Yes. Free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal is included on every plan and provisions automatically when you point your domain at the server. AutoSSL covers your storefront, your admin URL, and any add-on domains. Premium DV, OV, and EV certificates are available if your processor or compliance program requires them.
Which payment gateways work with osCommerce on Ultra?
osCommerce supports PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.Net, Square, 2Checkout, Braintree, and dozens of regional processors through the official payment modules and the osCommerce add-on community. Ultra's hosting stack does not lock you into a single processor. The server-side TLS configuration is current, the outbound HTTPS connections gateways require work out of the box, and our support team has helped customers wire up most of the major gateways.
Can I scale up to a VPS or dedicated server later?
Yes. The same cPanel account migrates cleanly from shared hosting to a Managed VPS or dedicated server when your store outgrows shared resources. Ultra handles the move for free as an internal migration, your domain and DNS stay live throughout, and your osCommerce file paths and database connections do not change. Stores typically move up when traffic, order volume, or background job count starts pressing the shared CPU allotment.
