Hello folks,
I’m currently investigating alternatives to the ecommerce solution that my Wife currently has for her shop, which for various reasons we want to move on from. I like the look of Magento but I’m concerned that once the site had been set up that I would not be able to provide adequate support for her should something go wrong as I already have a job and would not necessarily have the time to fix it. Therefore I’m interested to find out if there are any Magento hosting services out there that could also provide fairly in-depth technical support. For instance, if something was to go wrong with the cart and it started adding gift wrap options to all orders, then she would be able to call someone who would look in to it and fix the problem for her.
Does anyone know of any hosting like that, or perhaps any companies that offer that kind of support for Magento installations? I’ve had a look at the partner companies listed from this site, but I’d be interested in hearing of other options, and also of any experiences anybody has who has had similar requirements.
No UK hosts like that that I know of. They just host and don’t get involved much with what is hosted on the application level.
You can host in the US with people like Crucial, who have more knowledge of the inner working of Magento. But better probably would be to buy a support package with Varien.
Well some hosting providers will only be able to provide basic support for Magento at most, while many will consider it as a third-party application and will not provide support for it at all.
As J.T. have said, it may be a good idea to purchase a support package directly from Magento’s developer, Varien if you can afford it.
We offer both Magento development / design and UK hosting for Magento - http://design.terranetwork.net if you’re looking to have everything under one roof.
Alternatively, you can look to hire a developer to look after your shop & choose any suitable hosting. Many shops we host have this arrangement. Keeps it flexible and if you use the same developer for all projects, they’ll know your site & be able to help quickly. Sites such as odesk.com or guru.com can be great to find freelancers at reasonable rates.

Actually self-promotion and self-advertising are not allowed as per the Forum Rules.
Most of the host will help you with installation and stuff with internal coding issue its always a risk and I will personally advice you to go with magento support team itself for code change support.
Very good views about freelance .When we talk about freelance then guru.com and elance.com like sites come out. Similarly http://worknhire.com/ is also good site for freelance. I have experience in this site. There are so many freelance profiles are made with their developed project of web design,graphic design, mangento and many other technologies. This is good site to get job and freelance portal. You can make your profile in this site and get good work.
Thanks you guys for suggestions, I think it will belong to your plan very much before you choose a good hosting. To suggest the right choice, you need to decide how traffic your shop will be used first. Base on my experience normal shop in the first time set up will not need too much resource, it only need enough to run magento but need a server configure only use for Magento.

Yes, it ‘s good reviews in http://magentohostsolution.com/ but not sure why you don’t put there some sample sites?
Why don’t you migrate to Magento Go and have everuthing included - hosting, technical support, and even more feaures than in Magento CE? I think that is a good option in your case. No time wasting for the proper hosting environment, and no reason to pay some third party if you can use professional Magento support.
