Why Our Store Hosting
Everything a storefront wants for selling more stock
Speed that keeps the sale
NVMe drives, plus caching tuned for storefronts, take seconds off the cart and payment pages. Fewer shoppers give up before the order actually goes through.
A checkout ready for PCI
Free SSL, up-to-date TLS and a walled-off account give the payment path a tight foundation, one that pairs neatly with any PCI-compliant gateway.
99.9% uptime, credited if we miss
Redundant hardware sitting in a London datacentre keeps the storefront trading. Should a month fall below target, you earn a pro-rated credit, and that applies on the days your takings lean on the shop hardest.
Grows as the orders do
When demand climbs, add CPU, RAM and storage inside a couple of clicks. Nothing gets re-platformed, no server shifts underneath you, and the catalogue and settings stay exactly where they were.
Guarded around the clock
Standing over the shop, its shoppers and every order taken: a web application firewall, malware scans that keep running, and backups made automatically.
People on support, not bots
Every minute offline costs you orders, so tickets and email are staffed by real engineers whatever the hour. No canned scripts. No bots. Nobody passing you down the line.
Quick Checkout
A checkout quick enough for your shoppers
Orders lost to slow pages never appear in any report. Shop hosting here sits on all-NVMe hardware, with caching written specifically for stores, so the catalogue, the cart and the payment pages stay quick, while coupons, sessions and live stock counts go on behaving exactly as they should.
- All-NVMe storage
- Caching written for storefronts
- Fewer carts abandoned
- Cart and payment pages that snap
Secure & PCI-Ready
Take payments from a locked-down footing
Nobody reaches for a card until the page has earned that trust. Free SSL encrypts the entire checkout flow; account isolation, a web application firewall and malware scanning hold the shop shut tight. That gives you sound ground for meeting PCI requirements, whichever gateway you end up choosing for the shop.
- Free SSL on every store
- Hardened, walled-off accounts
- Firewall plus malware scanning
- Current TLS across the checkout

Steady, and Ready to Grow
Dependable when the day actually counts

Ideal For
Shops at any stage of their growth
Shops opening for the first time
Start trading the same day you sign up. WooCommerce, a free domain and SSL are all standing ready before your first product reaches the shelf.
Catalogs that keep growing
Space for a long product list, and staging copies alongside it, so you can broaden what you sell and test changes before a shopper ever sees them.
Seasonal rushes
Storefront caching plus resources you can scale keep checkout steady through a flash sale, a launch, or the holiday crush that follows.
The Process
From signing up to the first order
- 1
Choose your tier
Set Launch, Pro and Elite against the traffic you get and the size of your catalogue. WooCommerce, SSL and a free domain sit inside all three.
- 2
Wire up your payment processor
Aim Stripe, PayPal or whichever processor you favour at an encrypted, PCI-friendly checkout. Most of them keep card numbers off your server altogether.
- 3
Open the doors and grow
Go live and start taking orders. When traffic and sales start asking for more power, a few clicks lift you onto the next tier.

FAQ
Straight answers on store hosting
What exactly is ecommerce hosting?
Ecommerce hosting is ordinary web hosting, reworked around what trading online actually involves. A shop is not a brochure site. It builds pages on the fly, carries carts and sessions that cannot simply be cached, tracks stock as it moves, and has to keep an encrypted checkout reachable while under load. Our plans answer each of those: all-NVMe storage so catalogue and cart pages come back quickly, caching clever enough to leave carts and live inventory well alone, free SSL wrapping the checkout, a 99.9% uptime target, and resources that climb as your order volume does. Every account is walled off and hardened behind a web application firewall, with malware scanning and automated backups watching over your customers and the orders they place. Underneath it all sits WooCommerce, the most widely used store software anywhere, which hands you a dependable base with no per-sale transaction fee shaving a slice off every order you take.
Am I required to run WooCommerce?
No, although every plan is arranged around it, and for reasons worth stating. WooCommerce comes ready on WordPress because it is open source, endlessly extensible, and free of the per-sale cut that hosted store platforms usually take, so the whole margin on an order stays with you. After that, pick the theme, bolt on whatever extensions the shop needs, and wire up the payment gateway you prefer. Fancy a different PHP store platform instead? Underneath, this is standard cPanel with Softaculous and its 240-plus one-click installers, plus SSH, Git and Composer if you would sooner deploy by hand. Up to 100 MySQL or MariaDB databases come with it, and phpMyAdmin to manage them. Most shop owners stay put with WooCommerce for the flexibility and the community behind it. Nothing in the server ties you to one platform.
What keeps the checkout running quickly?
Speed at the till rests on a pair of things: read and write times on the server, and how clever the caching layer is. Storage here is all-NVMe, a good deal quicker than the spinning disks or SATA SSDs that plenty of budget hosts are still running, which is why product, cart and order lookups return without a wait. Shops get special treatment from the cache as well. Catalogue and static pages come out of it, while coupons, sessions, carts and live stock counts remain dynamic and accurate, so no visitor is ever shown someone else's basket or a price that has already changed. Request handling stays efficient thanks to LiteSpeed, HTTP/2 and current PHP 8.x builds, and free SSL encrypts everything at no real cost in speed. Resources belong to your account alone, so performance does not crumble as traffic climbs. A quiet Tuesday and your biggest sale day should not feel very different.
Is my store's checkout secure, and is it PCI-friendly?
It is. Free auto-renewing SSL wraps modern TLS encryption around the entire checkout, so card numbers and personal details are protected in transit on every page, instead of just the payment form. Accounts are isolated and hardened. A web application firewall strains out malicious traffic, malware scanning runs quietly in the background, and network-level DDoS protection keeps the shop trading while an attack is under way. PCI compliance is shared between you and your gateway, and usefully, most providers (Stripe, PayPal and their like) handle card numbers on their own systems, so raw card data never touches your server at all. That leaves you in the lightest PCI bracket, normally a short self-assessment questionnaire, while the encrypted, isolated, monitored infrastructure underneath comes from us. Keep the platform and its plugins updated, pick a strong admin password, choose a reputable gateway, and your customers can pay with confidence.
What happens when my shop starts getting properly busy?
Busy is rather the point, and the platform is built for it. On an ordinary day, store-aware caching over all-NVMe storage lets one plan serve well past what the raw specs suggest, because most catalogue traffic comes out of cache instead of being rebuilt every time. Push beyond that with a flash sale, a launch or the holiday rush, and moving up a tier takes a couple of clicks and brings more CPU, RAM and storage with it. Nothing gets re-platformed, nothing migrates, nothing needs rebuilding. Catalogue, customers, orders and settings all stay precisely where they were; only the resources behind them change, and the upgrade takes hold quickly. Redundant hardware in our London datacentre is built to hold through spikes, so checkout stays open on exactly the days that matter. Expecting a big surge? Scale up before it arrives, and scale back once it has passed.
Will you move my existing store over for me?
Yes, and it costs you nothing. Once you have signed up, raise a ticket with the login details for your present host, and the rest falls to our team: WordPress and WooCommerce, the database, product images and media, along with the orders and customer records you already hold. Most moves are done inside roughly 24 hours. Nearly all the work happens on the new server before your live shop is touched at all, so downtime at checkout is either tiny or simply never occurs. Wherever we can, the store gets rebuilt on a staging URL first, letting you click through it and place a test order to confirm everything landed properly before DNS is repointed. Say the word and the domain comes over, with free SSL switching on by itself. Running an unusual extension, or a custom theme? Mention it in the ticket and we will plan the move around it.
Pre-Launch Checklist
Work through this list before opening
Ten minutes spent on the list below heads off nearly every problem shops hit on their first trading day.
- Switch the SSL certificate on and force HTTPS right across the site
- Put the live gateway keys in and push a real test order through
- Set the tax rules, then the shipping zones and their rates
- Write plain refund, shipping and privacy pages
- Switch on order confirmation and abandoned-cart emails
- Run the whole checkout on an actual phone, not only a desktop
- Switch daily automatic backups on before the doors open
- List each product with a distinct title, images and description
- Repoint the domain, then confirm it loads and the padlock shows
- Send the sitemap over so search engines can crawl the shop

WooCommerce, free SSL and a free domain, on a platform tuned to keep checkout quick, protected and open for business.
See Store PlansEvery second a product page takes is a customer deciding to look elsewhere. Shops need quick storage, an unbroken padlock and backups that run whether or not anyone remembers them. Every account here sits on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, in our London datacentre watched by the same engineers who answer the tickets.
Made for merchants taking payments online. Free SSL, a free move from your current host, a daily backup and round-the-clock support are all in the price, with nothing waiting at the till.
Hosting that keeps the till open
NVMe storage keeps database queries short, LiteSpeed caches the catalogue pages, and OPcache holds compiled PHP ready for the next request. Free SSL covers the checkout, daily backups cover the orders, and the one-click installers put WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart or PrestaShop in place inside a minute.
Speed here comes out of the stack rather than out of a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads short, LiteSpeed answers over HTTP/2, and caching happens at the server before your application is asked to do any work at all.
What a shop costs to host
The oldest trick in hosting is a cheap first year followed by a quiet increase. Hosting Seller prices the other way: the figure you sign up at is the figure that renews, and anything promotional says so on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying us out costs you an afternoon at worst.
A shop can open on a plan from $2.42 a month and step up to a VPS at $13.52 once the catalogue and the traffic justify it. Neither move costs you a rebuild, and neither price shifts at renewal.
The stack behind an online shop
Stores run in our London datacentre behind edge DDoS filtering, on NVMe arrays with a daily backup of files and database. When a payment gateway asks about encryption, the certificate is already there and already renewing itself.
Support is staffed every hour by people who administer these servers, and first replies usually land inside 15 minutes. There is no tier where you get handed to a bot instead.
- One-click installs for the major shop platforms
- Free SSL plus daily backups of orders
- Daily backups with self-service restores
- Free SSL fitted and renewed automatically

Still Asking
Other questions that keep coming up
Which shop platform should I host here?
WooCommerce if the site already runs WordPress, OpenCart if you want something light, Magento if the catalogue is large and the budget matches. All of them install in a click, and our desk will tell you honestly which one suits the plan you are looking at.
How soon can I be up and running?
Checkout provisions the account automatically — minutes rather than days. If there is an existing store to bring across, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the switch so nothing goes dark.
Does the renewal price differ from the sign-up price?
It renews at the price you joined on. Where a first-term promotion applies, its renewal figure is printed next to it before you order, so there is nothing to discover later.
What if ecommerce hosting is not the right fit?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the plan. Ask inside the month and you get your money back: no exit interview, and nobody transferring you to a team whose job is talking you out of it.
