Why Our Ecommerce Hosting

Everything an online store needs to sell

Online store dashboard showing ecommerce hosting benefits

Checkout speed that converts

Pure NVMe hardware and caching tuned for shops shave milliseconds off cart and payment pages, which means more shoppers actually see the thank-you screen.

Encrypted, PCI-ready payments

Free SSL, modern TLS and account isolation give the checkout a hardened home that sits cleanly behind any PCI-compliant payment gateway you pick.

99.9% uptime, guaranteed

Redundant tier-3 infrastructure and a written uptime SLA hold the storefront open, including on the days when a lost hour costs you real sales.

Scales with every sale

As orders climb, add CPU, RAM and storage in a couple of clicks. No re-platforming, no migration, and nothing lost from the catalogue or the settings.

Always-on store security

A web application firewall, malware scanning and automatic backups stand guard over the shop, the customers and every order they place, at any hour.

Real support, 24/7

Downtime on a shop is money gone, so real engineers pick up chat and tickets at any hour. No bots. No scripts. No being passed around.

Fast website loading speed performance test

Fast Checkout

A checkout that moves as fast as your shoppers

Orders leak away quietly when pages drag. The ecommerce stack here runs on pure NVMe hardware with caching set up for shops, so catalogue, cart and payment pages load fast while coupons, sessions and live inventory carry on behaving the way they are supposed to.

  • Store-aware page caching
  • Fewer abandoned carts
  • Snappy cart & payment pages
Website security and DDoS protection

Secure & PCI-Friendly

Take payments on a secure, PCI-ready foundation

FAQ

Ecommerce hosting questions

What is ecommerce hosting?

Ecommerce hosting is ordinary web hosting that has been tuned for the particular demands of selling online. A shop behaves nothing like a brochure site: pages are dynamic, carts and sessions cannot be cached carelessly, stock levels shift in real time, and the checkout has to stay encrypted and reachable even in the middle of a rush. Our plans answer that with pure NVMe storage behind fast catalogue and cart pages, caching that knows what a cart and live inventory are, free SSL for an encrypted checkout, a written 99.9% uptime SLA and resources you can scale as orders climb. Every account is isolated and hardened, with a web application firewall, malware scanning and automatic backups looking after your customers and the orders they place. WooCommerce underpins the whole thing, the most widely used store platform in the world, which gives you a proven base without per-sale transaction fees nibbling at every order you take.

Do I have to use WooCommerce?

No, though every plan is set up for it, and there is a reason for that. WooCommerce comes pre-installed on WordPress because it is open source, endlessly extensible and free of the per-sale transaction fees hosted platforms tend to charge, so the margin on each order stays with you. From there, pick your own theme, add whatever extensions the shop needs and wire up the payment gateway you prefer. Fancy running a different PHP-based store instead? Underneath it is standard cPanel hosting with Softaculous and its 240-plus one-click installers, plus SSH, Git and Composer for anything you would rather deploy by hand. Up to 100 MySQL or MariaDB databases and phpMyAdmin sit behind that lot as well. Most owners stick with WooCommerce for the flexibility and the community around it, but nothing on the server ties you to one platform.

How do you keep the checkout fast?

Checkout speed comes down to two things, mainly: how fast the server reads and writes data, and how cleverly pages get cached. Every shop here runs on pure NVMe storage, far quicker than the spinning disks or SATA SSDs budget hosts often fit, so database reads for products, carts and orders come back fast. The caching is store-aware on top of that: static and catalogue pages are served from cache, while carts, sessions, coupons and live stock stay dynamic and accurate, which is why no shopper ever sees somebody else's basket or a price from last week. LiteSpeed with HTTP/2 and modern PHP 8.x keep request handling lean, and free SSL adds encryption without a speed penalty worth mentioning. Your account holds its own resources, so that performance survives a climb in traffic instead of folding under it. What you measure on a quiet Tuesday is close to what a busy sale gives you.

Is my store's checkout secure and PCI-friendly?

Yes. Free, auto-renewing SSL encrypts the whole checkout with modern TLS, so card details and personal data are protected in transit across every page rather than only the payment step. Each account runs isolated and hardened, with a web application firewall filtering malicious requests, malware scanning watching for trouble, and network DDoS protection keeping the shop reachable when somebody points traffic at it. PCI compliance is always shared responsibility, and the useful part is that most gateways, Stripe and PayPal among them, handle card numbers on their own systems, so raw card data never touches your server. That leaves you in the simplest PCI scope, normally a short self-assessment questionnaire, while the encrypted, isolated and monitored foundation underneath comes from us. Keep the platform and the plugins updated, use strong admin passwords, choose a reputable gateway, and you end up with a checkout your customers can hand their details to.

What happens when my store gets busy?

Busy is the whole point, and the platform is built to soak it up. Day to day, store-aware caching and pure NVMe storage let one plan cope with far more shoppers at once than the raw specs would suggest, because most catalogue traffic comes straight out of cache instead of being rebuilt page by page. Push past that with a flash sale, a product launch or the holiday rush and a couple of clicks take you up a tier for more CPU, RAM and storage. Nothing gets re-platformed, nothing gets migrated, nothing gets rebuilt. Your catalogue, your customers, your orders and your settings sit exactly where they were; only the resources underneath shift, and the change lands quickly. The uptime SLA and redundant tier-3 infrastructure hold through spikes too, so the checkout stays open on the days that count. Expecting a big peak? Size up slightly beforehand, then scale back down once it passes.

Can you migrate my existing store?

Yes, and it costs nothing. Once you have signed up, open a ticket with the login details for your current host and our team shifts the whole shop across: WordPress and WooCommerce, the database, product images and media, plus the orders and customers you already have. Most moves finish inside about 24 hours, and the bulk of the work happens on the new server before we go anywhere near your live site, so the checkout sees little or no downtime. Where we can, the store gets staged first, which lets you click round it and put through a test order to confirm everything arrived intact before DNS changes. Say the word and you point the domain at us, at which point free SSL turns itself on. Unusual extensions or a custom theme in the mix? Flag it in the ticket so we can plan around it.

The Full Picture

Choosing hosting for an online store is rarely a single decision made on day one — it is a series of decisions made as the store grows. A brand-new shop with a handful of products has very different needs from a catalogue processing hundreds of orders a day, and the right hosting plan should be able to change shape as that happens rather than forcing a rebuild every time sales climb.

Beyond the checkout itself, a serious store also needs a safety net: a way to recover if something goes wrong, a way to move in without losing data if you are switching platforms, and a way to reach shoppers outside your home market without extra plugins bolted on after the fact. The sections below cover that wider picture — how the plan you choose today can carry you through the next stage of growth, and what protects your store while you get there.

Deep Dives

The details behind the promises

Growing beyond shared hosting: VPS and dedicated servers for high-volume stores

Most stores start on managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting from $4.19/mo, and that is plenty of runway for a new shop or a mid-sized catalogue. But as order volume, concurrent shoppers or the size of your product catalogue grows, some stores need more than a shared environment can offer — full root access to install custom services, dedicated CPU and RAM that no other account competes for, or the ability to run multiple brands off one server.

That is where VPS hosting from $13.52/mo and dedicated servers from $149.99/mo come in. Both run on the same NVMe SSD and LiteSpeed foundation as the entry-level plans, so moving up is a resource upgrade rather than a rebuild — your WooCommerce install, product data and order history move with you, and you gain root-level control to tune the server around exactly how your store operates.

Selling to customers around the world

A store that only shows prices in one currency puts an extra mental calculation between an international shopper and the buy button, and that friction costs sales. Our plans support geo-currency display, which automatically shows visitors pricing in their local currency based on where they are browsing from, so a shopper in another country sees a price they immediately understand rather than one they have to convert in their head.

This sits alongside the free auto-renewing SSL already securing every checkout, so international traffic gets the same encrypted, trustworthy experience as domestic visitors. Combined with WooCommerce's wide extension ecosystem for multi-language storefronts and regional payment methods, it gives a growing store a practical path to selling beyond its home market without re-platforming.

Backups, guarantees and protecting your revenue

Every order, product listing and customer record on your store represents real revenue, so it needs a real recovery plan rather than a hope that nothing goes wrong. Daily backups run automatically on every ecommerce plan, giving you recent restore points to fall back on if a bad plugin update, a failed import or a mistaken edit damages your catalogue or order data.

There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting, so you can move your store over, run it for real and confirm the performance and support meet your bar before you are committed. Paired with free managed migration, that makes switching hosts a low-risk decision rather than a leap of faith — if the fit isn't right, you have a clear window to change your mind.

SEO and site speed: turning search traffic into sales

A fast store is not just a better shopping experience, it is also a search ranking advantage — page speed is one of the signals search engines weigh when deciding which product and category pages to show first. NVMe SSD storage and LiteSpeed serve catalogue pages quickly enough to support strong Core Web Vitals, giving your organic listings a technical head start over stores running on slower, oversold hosting.

The cPanel-style panel's one-click installers make it straightforward to add SEO plugins for structured product data and XML sitemaps, and PHP hosting fundamentals like clean URLs and fast time-to-first-byte carry through to every category and product page. Getting search traffic to a store is only half the job; hosting that keeps those pages fast is what turns that traffic into completed orders.

Free website migration between hosting providers

Switch platforms without losing a single order

Moving a live store is intimidating, because every hour of downtime is an hour of lost orders and every dropped record is a customer or a sale you cannot easily reconstruct. Our free managed migration exists specifically to remove that risk: our team handles the move for you rather than leaving you to export and re-import data by hand.

We copy your products, orders, customers and media across first and build a working copy on the new server, so you can click through it and place a test order before anything goes live. Once you're satisfied, you point your domain over and free auto-renewing SSL activates automatically — most stores see little to no checkout downtime during the switch.

  • Free, done-for-you migration
  • Products, orders and customers moved
  • Staged copy to test before go-live
  • Free SSL activates on cutover

More FAQ

More questions, answered

Do you offer a money-back guarantee for ecommerce hosting?

Yes, ecommerce hosting plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. That gives you a real window to launch your store, put it through its paces and confirm the speed and support suit your business before you are locked into the plan.

Can I sell to international customers in their own currency?

Yes. Our plans support geo-currency display, which automatically shows visitors pricing in their local currency based on where they are browsing from. It works alongside free SSL and WooCommerce's extension ecosystem, so international shoppers get a checkout that feels local rather than foreign.

What happens if my store outgrows shared ecommerce hosting entirely?

You move up to a VPS from $13.52/mo or a dedicated server from $149.99/mo, both running on the same NVMe SSD and LiteSpeed foundation. That gives you full root access and resources no other account shares, without needing to rebuild your WooCommerce store from scratch — it's a resource upgrade, not a re-platform.

Can I set up professional email addresses for my store?

Yes, email hosting is available so you can send order confirmations, receipts and support replies from an address at your own domain rather than a generic webmail account. It builds customer trust at exactly the moments — order confirmation, refund requests — when trust matters most.

Who do I actually pay, and what entity appears on my invoice?

Hosting Cheap operates under the legal entity Bohzo Ltd, registered in the UK. That's the name your invoice and billing records will show, which is useful to know for your own accounting, expense records or VAT purposes as a store owner.

How are backups handled, and can I restore my own data?

Daily backups run automatically on every ecommerce plan, capturing your store's files and database on a rolling schedule. If you need to roll back after a bad update or accidental change, our 24/7 support team can help you restore from a recent backup point rather than leaving you to rebuild lost orders or products by hand.
