PrestaShop works for everyone — whether you're setting up your first store or you're a seasoned developer who needs full control. The interface is clean and intuitive, module management is straightforward, and the system structure is easy to navigate. Behind it all is a massive global community of tens of thousands of developers constantly improving the platform, plus active forums where you can find expert answers fast.
And since PrestaShop is open source, there are no license fees — ever. It's built to scale with you, running reliably whether you're a small boutique or a high-volume retailer — even on modest server resources. The base install is already feature-rich, and with 6,000+ plugins and themes, you can tailor every detail of your storefront. Run multiple stores from one dashboard, track performance at a glance, and manage products in minutes. With wide language support and ongoing mobile optimization, you're always ready to reach new customers — wherever they shop.
When you install PrestaShop through IONOS, you get the latest version — pre-installed and ready to customize. Your store is automatically backed up every day, so if anything goes wrong, you can restore a recent version in minutes. And with 24/7 IONOS technical support on call, help is always just a message away.
Data protection and security are essential for any successful business — and that includes full compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect on May 25, 2018. Under this regulation, online merchants are required to give customers full rights over how their personal data is processed, among other obligations. This is a top priority for both the PrestaShop platform and IONOS as an internationally operating hosting provider.
SSL encryption keeps data transfers between users and servers secure, in line with current industry standards. Every qualifying IONOS web hosting package includes an SSL certificate, meaning your PrestaShop store runs on the "https" protocol — protecting bank transactions, user data, and all data transmission. Your visitors can browse, explore your store, and shop with complete peace of mind.
