FAQ

Ecommerce hosting questions

What is ecommerce hosting?

Ecommerce hosting is ordinary web hosting that has been tuned for the specific demands of selling online. A store behaves very differently from a brochure site: pages are dynamic, carts and sessions cannot be cached carelessly, stock levels change in real time, and the checkout must stay encrypted and available even during a rush. Our plans answer that with pure NVMe storage for fast catalogue and cart pages, caching that understands carts and live inventory, free SSL for an encrypted checkout, a written 99.9% uptime SLA and resources you can scale as orders climb. Each account is isolated and hardened, with a web application firewall, malware scanning and automatic backups protecting your customers and their orders. The stack is built on WooCommerce, the most widely used store platform in the world, so you get a proven foundation without per-sale transaction fees eating into every order you take.

Do I have to use WooCommerce?

No, but it is what every plan is set up for, and for good reason. WooCommerce arrives pre-installed on WordPress because it is open source, endlessly extensible and free of the per-sale transaction fees that hosted platforms often charge — so the margin on each order stays yours. From there you are free to choose your own theme, add the extensions your store needs and connect whatever payment gateway you prefer. If you would rather run a different PHP-based store, the underlying stack is standard cPanel hosting with Softaculous, which offers 240-plus one-click installers, plus SSH, Git and Composer for anything you want to deploy by hand. You also get up to 100 MySQL or MariaDB databases and phpMyAdmin to support it. Most owners stay on WooCommerce for the flexibility and the community around it, but nothing on the server locks you into a single platform.

How do you keep the checkout fast?

Two things mostly decide checkout speed: how quickly the server reads and writes data, and how intelligently pages are cached. We run every store on pure NVMe storage, which is dramatically faster than the spinning or SATA SSD disks budget hosts often use, so database reads for products, carts and orders return quickly. On top of that, our caching is store-aware: static and catalogue pages are served from cache, while carts, sessions, coupons and live stock stay dynamic and correct, so shoppers never see someone else's basket or an out-of-date price. LiteSpeed with HTTP/2 and modern PHP 8.x keep request handling lean, and free SSL adds encryption without a meaningful speed penalty. Because your account has its own resources, that performance holds up when traffic climbs rather than collapsing under load — the speed you measure on a quiet day is close to what a busy sale delivers.

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

Yes. Free, auto-renewing SSL encrypts the entire checkout with modern TLS, so card details and personal data are protected in transit on every page, not just the payment step. Each account is isolated and hardened, with a web application firewall filtering malicious requests, malware scanning watching for trouble and network DDoS protection keeping the store reachable when it is targeted. PCI compliance is always a shared responsibility, and the good news is that most gateways — Stripe, PayPal and the like — process card numbers on their own systems, so raw card data never lands on your server. That keeps you in the simplest PCI scope, usually a short self-assessment questionnaire, while we provide the encrypted, isolated and monitored foundation underneath. Keep your platform and plugins updated, use strong admin passwords and pick a reputable gateway, and you have a checkout your customers can trust with their details.

What happens when my store gets busy?

Busy is what you want, and the platform is built to absorb it. Day to day, store-aware caching and pure NVMe storage let a single plan handle far more concurrent shoppers than the raw specs suggest, because most catalogue traffic is served straight from cache rather than rebuilding every page. When a flash sale, product launch or holiday rush pushes you beyond that, you move up a tier in a couple of clicks for more CPU, RAM and storage — there is no re-platforming, no migration and no rebuild. Your catalogue, customers, orders and settings all stay exactly where they are; only the resources underneath change, and the switch takes effect quickly. Because the uptime SLA and redundant tier-3 infrastructure hold through spikes, the checkout stays open on precisely the days it matters most. If you expect a big peak, size up a little ahead of time and scale back down afterwards.

Can you migrate my existing store?

Yes, and the migration is free. After you sign up, open a ticket with the login details for your current host and our team moves the whole store for you — WordPress and WooCommerce, the database, product images and media, and your existing orders and customers. We usually complete a move within about 24 hours, and we do the bulk of the work on the new server before touching your live site, so there is little or no downtime at the checkout. Where possible we stage the store first, letting you click through it and place a test order to confirm everything came across correctly before you switch DNS. When you are ready, you point your domain at us and free SSL activates automatically. If your current setup uses unusual extensions or a custom theme, mention it in the ticket so we can plan the move 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.
