    Why DX3?

    In 2009 we re-focused our efforts on providing the best possible service for the newly emerging Magento e-commerce platform. We now host, manage and support thousands of Magento stores from small start ups with a handful of products to large clients with millions of products using both Magento Community edition and Enterprise edition.

    We provide a safe and secure platform for clients of all sizes to grow their businesses knowing that help, advice and support is always on hand. Whether you are a sole trader or a large web design agency you will get the same 1st class hosting platform and dedicated support.

    How do I know which package is best for me?

    Whether agencies, developers, sole traders or large companies, we fit in with your needs. Our handy form will help you choose the best package based on the needs and goals of your site. We also provide a free trial, where we will install your site on a temp URL so you can compare this directly to your old slow site.

    What is Magento Hosting Built on?

    Our Magento Hosing packages are built on Dell Power Edge servers with Intel Xeon processor and Samsung SSD drives in RAID 10.

    What hosting do you provide, other than Magento?

    As well as Shared, Cloud and Dedicated Magento hosting, we also provide application hosting.

    Our application hosting plans include WordPress Hosting, Open Cart Hosting and WooCommerce Hosting. You can find more information about these on our website.

    What are SSL Certificates?

    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a global security technology enabling encrypted communication between web browsers and servers. SSL Certificates are installed on a web server to create a secure connection. The certificates ensure all data that passes between the web browser and server remain private.

    What is your refund policy?

    If for any reason the Account Holder is not entirely satisfied with their hosting Account they may request that their Account be closed within an initial 7 day period of their order being placed. A full refund of any fees paid will then be issued. Beyond that initial 7 day period, all payments for hosting are non-refundable and service is provisioned for the period paid for.

    What our customers are saying

    Very Fast Hosting coupled with Excellent Service Having been with an alternative hosting company for several years for Magento websites, the speed of the sites gradually got slower and slower to the point that it was seriously affecting conversion rate. I decided to switch on a Sunday morning. By the Sunday night the first site was moved over by DX3, and the site was noticeably faster. Contact throughout the day was constant through Skype and I could not have asked for better service. Very happy customer.

    Support migrated my site away from Peer1 and onto my new server for me, and managed every single step of the process. We had minimal downtime of 20 minutes - which when moving servers is absolutely nothing. Also, support went above and beyond - they redirected the Name Servers and DNS records - we usually have to do all the migration our self. If you have a Magento store, I would recommend these guys - they know the Magento platform, and our site is already running much faster as a result.

We have appropriate technical and personnel protocols in place to ensure the security of your data.

    Magento FAQ

    What changes to I need to make to my Magento site?
    Given that GDPR affects any business that deals with customers residing in the EEA there is quite a potential number of Magento stores that need tweaking to fulfil the spirit of the GDPR regulations. As such extensions are being released to address this. Some free and some at cost. Areas that need addressing are:

    • Add a cookie consent bar to your site. You need to tell users if you are using 3rd party cookies and they need to explicitly consent to use them.
    • Allow customers to remove their personal data / account from your site.
    • All marketing should be done on an Opt in basis and allow users to opt out from subscriptions.
    • Update your privacy policy and cookie policy to explicitly state what data you collect, why and how it is stored / transferred.
    • Anonymize personal data, in particular any data which is not being used for transactional purposes eg quote table data.

    If in doubt seek legal advice on the matter. There are lot of legal firms offering GDPR advice.

    In particular make sure the site is as secure as you can make it. As a minimum follow these tips: https://dx3webs.com/blog/magento-security-tips

    What is Magento’s stance on encryption being a requirement for GDPR?
    Organizations should implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security that is appropriate to the risk. Such measures may include encryption, but it is not a mandatory requirement under the GDPR. In GDPR parlance, when determining appropriate technical and organizational measures, organizations should take into account the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing.
