WooCommerce hosting

Make room for your next order.

Choose a hosting setup for your WooCommerce shop, from a WordPress plan to a managed cloud configuration for a more demanding store.

The practical picture

Your shop has more to do than display a page.

WooCommerce adds online shop features to WordPress. Hosting needs to support the products, orders, extensions and customer journeys behind the storefront, as well as the pages visitors see.

Test before customers see it

Our listed WordPress plans include staging and cloning. Check theme and extension changes on a copy, with a separate plan for live orders and changing customer data.

Choose capacity around the shop

Consider the product catalogue, image library, order volume and extensions. Our managed cloud builder also offers a WooCommerce optimisation profile.

Keep checkout in the picture

Review caching with your developer so baskets, account pages and checkout behave correctly. A fast product page is only one part of a working shop.

The details that matter

Built around the next order.

A shop has several moving parts

Product pages, search, baskets, payments and order emails all deserve attention. Tell us about your catalogue, current extensions and the actions customers need to complete so the hosting conversation covers the whole journey.

Keep customer data current

Staging is useful for testing changes, but an older test database can replace newer orders if copied back carelessly. Agree a release method that preserves live business records and test payment changes using the provider’s authorised test mode.

Cache with the customer in mind

Public product content and personalised baskets need different treatment. Check the shop’s exclusions before enabling a broad performance setting, and repeat the customer journey after significant changes.

Make maintenance responsibilities clear

Hosting the shop and maintaining its application are separate responsibilities. Agree who updates extensions, checks compatibility and investigates failures in payment, stock or delivery integrations.

Made for the working day

Hosting that fits the way you sell.

A small catalogue and a busy, integration-heavy store can need very different resources. Tell us about seasonal peaks, payment providers and stock or fulfilment connections. We can help you compare WordPress plans with managed cloud hosting. Payment gateway accounts, commercial extensions and shop maintenance remain part of your wider store setup.

A little clarity

WooCommerce hosting, explained.

Useful answers before you decide. For anything specific to your website, let’s talk it through.

Can I run WooCommerce on a WordPress plan?

WooCommerce is a WordPress application. Choose a plan around your shop’s requirements and ask us to review the setup if you are unsure about its workload.

Can you move my existing shop?

We can discuss the move, including website files, the database and connected services. For an active store, agree how new orders and customer changes will be handled during the switch.

Does hosting include building the shop?

Hosting provides the chosen platform and listed resources. Shop design, product entry, extension licences and ongoing maintenance are separate unless agreed with us.

Let’s find the right fit.
