Tip

Our official web hosting partner 1&1 offer a 1-click install in order to save you time and get you started even faster. Using these can drastically reduce the installation time for inexperienced users. 

Those web hosts mostly use the following script libraries:

Some of these scripts even support 1-click update, which is invaluable.

Other hosts have their own installation scripts. Check with your own host for more information.

Last but not least, PrestaShop has its own hosting solution: by registering on PrestaShop.com, you can create a 100% free PrestaShop Cloud store, and thus offload all the technical hurdles of hosting to our own team, and can focus on your shop, clients and sales.
