Why Ultra for CubeCart

Built for open-source e-commerce.

Every plan ships ready to run a CubeCart store out of the box, with the PHP runtime, database, checkout security, and support a small shop needs.

PHP & MariaDB Ready

PHP 7.4 through 8.3 selectable per domain plus MariaDB or MySQL databases. CubeCart's catalog and cart tables sit on MariaDB, and version 6.x runs cleanly on PHP 8.2 with no manual extension toggling.

Softaculous One-Click Install

Spin up a fresh CubeCart store from cPanel in under two minutes via Softaculous. Files, product database, and initial store configuration are handled automatically.

Free SSL + CloudFlare CDN

Let's Encrypt SSL auto-provisions once DNS points at Ultra, so shoppers see the padlock at checkout. Free CloudFlare CDN caches product images at 300+ edge locations.

Daily Backups

JetBackup runs daily with 30-day restore points that protect your orders. Roll back individual store files, the product and order database, or the entire account in one click.

24/7 In-House Support

US-based team available around the clock. CubeCart install help, store migration coordination, payment gateway debugging, and order recovery all included.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee

Owned Dell PowerEdge hardware, on-site technicians, RAID + UPS, and a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by a real money-back guarantee.

The CubeCart stack

Your store online and selling on day one.

Every Ultra plan ships with the PHP, MariaDB, cPanel, and Softaculous pieces CubeCart needs, preconfigured on SSD. Your catalog and cart pages load fast from the first click, not after a week of server tuning.

CubeCart stores on infrastructure we own.

A lightweight shopping cart, on a stack built for it.

CubeCart is a lean PHP and MySQL shopping cart with a clean store admin, responsive storefront templates, and support for both digital and physical products. It handles inventory, tax rules, shipping, and checkout through the major payment gateways without a heavy framework underneath.

Why running your CubeCart store on Ultra works well

The plan ships with a tuned PHP and MariaDB stack with the extensions CubeCart needs already enabled (GD, cURL, OpenSSL, PDO, mbstring, intl), CloudLinux CageFS account isolation so a compromised neighbor on the same server cannot reach your store or its orders, daily JetBackup with 30-day restore points so you can roll back safely after a theme edit or extension update, free CloudFlare CDN integration that pushes product images and catalog pages out to a global edge, and free store migration if you are bringing a CubeCart shop across from another host. Our technicians move the files, product database, order history, customer accounts, and email, stage the new copy on a temporary URL for testing, and coordinate the DNS cutover to minimize downtime.

More store and site platforms on the same hosting

Weighing a different cart or CMS? The same shared plan runs WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, phpBB, osCommerce, Moodle, and 400+ other applications via Softaculous one-click install, so you can add a blog or landing site alongside your store. See the full catalog on the Application Hosting page, or the CubeCart entry on our hosting features page for where it fits in the broader supported stack.

CubeCart requirements we already meet

Everything a CubeCart store expects, ready before your first product.

CubeCart is deliberately light: it asks for a current PHP runtime, a MySQL-compatible database, a handful of common extensions, and a trusted certificate at the checkout. Ultra ships all of it on the standard plan, so a small shop can go from install to first sale without a support ticket.

  • PHP 8.x with the right extensions. CubeCart 6.x runs happily on PHP 8.2, selectable per domain in cPanel's PHP Selector, with GD, cURL, OpenSSL, PDO, mbstring, and intl already enabled for image handling, gateway calls, and currency formatting.
  • MariaDB for the catalog and orders. Your products, categories, orders, and customer records live in MariaDB, and there is no row or table cap inside your plan's storage quota, so the catalog has room to grow.
  • One-click Softaculous install. Stand up a fresh CubeCart store in one click, or let our team migrate an existing shop for free, then manage it through the normal store admin.
  • Free SSL for a trusted checkout. Let's Encrypt provisions automatically once DNS resolves, so shoppers see the padlock and CubeCart can enforce https on the storefront and admin.
  • SSD speed with LiteSpeed and Redis. Catalog and cart pages are served from SSD behind a LiteSpeed web server, and Redis object cache is available to keep sessions and lookups quick during a rush.
  • CloudFlare CDN for product images. Free CloudFlare integration caches your images and static assets at the edge, so galleries and thumbnails load fast for shoppers anywhere.
Moving your CubeCart store

Bring your store over, keep your checkout fast.

A slow or insecure store costs sales at the worst moment, in the cart. Here is what changes when you move a CubeCart shop to Ultra. Our team handles the migration for free on annual plans.

On your old host

  • Product pages and cart pages that drag on shared spinning disks.
  • A shared IP and a paid or missing SSL certificate on your checkout.
  • A migration you have to do yourself, files and database and all.

After you move to Ultra

  • Pure SSD storage and PHP 8.2 with OPcache keeping CubeCart 6.x snappy.
  • A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate securing checkout, auto-renewed for you.
  • Free CubeCart store migration by our team, plus daily JetBackup so a bad import is never permanent.
FAQ

What CubeCart shop owners ask before they order.

The store-hosting questions our sales team fields every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.

Which CubeCart versions do you support?

CubeCart 6.x (the current series) installs out of the box via Softaculous on every Ultra shared hosting plan. CubeCart 6 requires PHP 7.4 or newer and a MariaDB or MySQL database, both of which are standard on every account. Older CubeCart 5.x installs can be hosted on legacy PHP versions via the cPanel PHP Selector if you are bringing an existing store across.

How do I install CubeCart on Ultra hosting?

Log into cPanel, open the Softaculous Apps Installer, search for CubeCart, click Install Now, and fill in the domain, store name, admin email, and admin password. Softaculous handles the file copy, database creation, and initial configuration. The first store page is usually live in under two minutes. Free SSL is auto-provisioned by cPanel once DNS resolves.

Can I migrate an existing CubeCart store to Ultra?

Yes. Free store migration is included on every annual hosting plan. Open a support ticket after signup with your current host's cPanel login (or FTP and database credentials if it is not cPanel) and our technicians will move the CubeCart files, product database, order history, customer accounts, email, and post the staged copy on a temporary URL for testing before the DNS cutover.

What PHP versions are supported?

PHP 7.4 through 8.3 are available per-domain via cPanel's PHP Selector. CubeCart 6.5 and later support PHP 8.2 and 8.3 fully, and we default new installs to 8.2 for best performance. CloudLinux HardenedPHP back-ports critical security fixes to legacy PHP 7.x versions if you need to keep an older CubeCart store compatible while you plan the upgrade.

How do I get SSL on my CubeCart store?

Free Let's Encrypt SSL is auto-provisioned by cPanel once your domain's DNS points at Ultra. You do not need to generate a CSR, upload a certificate, or pay an add-on fee. CubeCart's Store Settings then needs a one-line change to enforce https:// on the storefront and the admin area. The certificate auto-renews every 60 days.

Are there database limits I should worry about?

Shared hosting plans allow multiple MariaDB databases per account with no per-database row or storage cap inside the plan's overall storage quota. CubeCart's product, order, and customer tables typically stay well under a gigabyte even with thousands of orders, so the 50 GB storage on Ultra Unlimited and Ultra Unlimited Pro accommodates substantial catalogs.

What if my store outgrows shared hosting?

The upgrade path is straightforward. WordPress Optimized Hosting adds Redis object cache and a 3x Xeon CPU allocation for catalogs that hit shared-CPU limits during traffic spikes. Managed VPS Hosting gives you guaranteed CPU and RAM, root access, and the headroom for very large CubeCart stores with high concurrent checkout volume. Migration between tiers is handled by our team without store downtime.

Which payment gateways work with CubeCart?

CubeCart ships with PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, Square, and a long list of additional gateways available through the CubeCart Extension Marketplace. All of them work on Ultra's standard PHP + cURL configuration, with no firewall blocks on outbound payment-gateway API calls. PCI DSS friendly server-side TLS is enabled by default.
