Magento just announced that the brand new version Magento 2.0 has been released and is now available for download. Magento 2.0 marks the next major release of the eCommerce software since version 1.0 was released back in 2008. Besides a complete rewrite of the core foundation, Magento 2.0 offers enhanced performance and scalability, new features to boost conversion rates, and business agility and productivity improvements.

We have already received multiple enquiries regarding whether Magento 2.0 can be installed on our servers. Magento 2.0 has a new set of system requirements, some of which may cause backwards compatibility issues with existing Magento 1.x installations. We can therefore not officially support Magento 2.0 yet on our shared servers. We are, however, exploring the possibilities of offering Magento 2.0 hosting in the near future.
Please also note that Magento 2.0 has a completely new architecture and structure, thus, it is not possible to upgrade from Magento 1.x to 2.0 without significant effort.
