Who It's For
Your 2.x store still takes orders and you don't want to rebuild it yet. You need a host that still offers the PHP version it runs on.
Moving to the 4.x branch? It runs on PHP 8.1, which is available alongside 7.4, so the old and new stores can run side by side while you test.
If you would rather leave osCommerce, our support team can help you export products and customers towards OpenCart or PrestaShop.
What's Included
PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.x Support
osCommerce 2.x works best on PHP 7.4 while newer builds support PHP 8.1. Both versions are available so you can run osCommerce without compatibility errors.
MySQL 8.0 Database
All osCommerce installations connect to a MySQL 8.0 database. Our database servers are tuned for e-commerce query patterns, keeping product and order lookups fast.
mod_rewrite Enabled
Apache mod_rewrite is active on all hosting accounts, enabling osCommerce's SEO URL feature so your product pages get clean, search-engine-friendly addresses.
Free SSL Certificate
Every plan includes a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate that renews automatically. Your checkout pages stay secure and trusted without any additional cost.
osCommerce 2.x and 4.x Compatible
Whether you are running a classic osCommerce 2.3 store or the newer osCommerce 4.x, our hosting environment is tested and compatible with both major versions.
Softaculous 1-Click Install
New stores can be installed in one click via Softaculous without any manual file uploads or database configuration. The installer handles everything automatically.
Daily Backups with 7-Day Retention
Your store files and database are backed up every 24 hours. Seven days of backups are retained so you can recover from accidental deletions or data issues at any time.
NVMe SSD Storage
NVMe SSD storage ensures fast file access and quick database queries, which is critical for product catalog pages and checkout flows in osCommerce.
Free Migration from Old Host
Our migration team transfers your entire osCommerce store — files, database, configurations, and email accounts — from your old provider at no charge.
24/7 Support
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and tickets. They are familiar with osCommerce quirks and can help with configuration, errors, and upgrades.

Legacy Stores
Many osCommerce 2.x stores were built years ago and heavily customised, which is why they are still on PHP 7.4. That works, but PHP 7.4 no longer receives security updates from the PHP project, so treat it as a bridge rather than a permanent home.
A sensible path is to keep the live store running on 7.4, test a copy on PHP 8.1 or on osCommerce 4.x, and switch once your add-ons work. When you are ready to change platforms entirely, we can help move your catalogue to OpenCart or PrestaShop.
