Hosting Adobe Commerce: System Requirements Explained

Adobe Commerce is an advanced eCommerce platform designed to help businesses take their digital presence to the next level. It’s built on the powerful and trusted Adobe Experience Cloud platform, making it a great choice for retailers looking to build an online presence and increase sales. But what are the system requirements for Adobe Commerce hosting?

Adobe Commerce is supported on Windows and Linux operating systems. Windows requires at least 8 GB RAM and 4 processor cores or more, and a 64-bit version of Windows Server with IIS 8.0 or later (Internet Information Services). Linux requires at least 4 GB RAM and a 64-bit architecture (CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian recommended), as well as Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.2+.

When it comes to hosting Adobe Commerce applications, the most important things to keep in mind are database requirements, server performance, and network performance. On the database side, Adobe Commerce requires MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.2.

Server-side performance requirements include the hardware requirements listed above, with additional consideration for other services, like queuing and imaging, depending on the provider’s needs.

On the network side, Adobe Commerce uses a secure connection (HTTPS) to ensure data integrity. Adobe Commerce also requires additional implementation steps such as domain name system (DNS) configuration, SSL configuration, and HTTP/2 configuration.

Additionally, sellers who want to provide a hassle-free shopping experience should consider customer service. You need to set up integrations such as payments and shipping, as well as an account management system for your customers.

Overall, hosting Adobe Commerce requires an understanding of system requirements in terms of both hardware and software, but with the right knowledge and setup, retailers can greatly benefit from using the advanced Adobe Commerce platform. Businesses can expect a solid online presence and increased sales with Adobe Commerce’s intuitive and complete feature set.
