WooCommerce Hosting Plans
Sized by what your store actually does
Fast Checkout
The checkout is the one page that can never be cached and can never be slow. We treat it as its own monitored path, not just another page on the site.
WooCommerce Hosting
Hosting Built for Stores That Sell
A WooCommerce store is not a brochure site. Every add to cart, every checkout and every stock update hits your database in real time, and generic hosting buckles under it. We run your store on dedicated infrastructure tuned for transactions, so your checkout stays fast when it matters most.
Purpose-built WooCommerce Hosting
Over 15 years and more than 800 websites, we have learned that stores fail differently to everything else. A slow blog costs you a reader. A slow checkout costs you the sale.
WooCommerce is database-heavy by design. Carts, sessions, stock levels and orders are different for every shopper and change constantly, so they cannot be cached away like a static page. Put that on shared or general purpose hosting and the first thing to buckle is the part that makes you money.
Our WooCommerce plans run on dedicated infrastructure with a separate database, object caching and monitoring pointed at the checkout rather than the homepage.

Why WooCommerce needs different hosting
Checkout & Speed
Uncacheable by Design
Carts, sessions and stock levels change for every single visitor, so they can never be served from a cache. We tune your server for live database queries instead of leaning on page caching your store cannot use.
Object Caching
Repeated database queries are held in memory, so product and category pages stay quick under load without ever touching the cart or the checkout.
Advanced Caching Solutions
Cache me if you can! Our caching tech speeds up your site, making waiting a thing of the past.
Free CDN on all plans
Fasten your seatbelts! With our CDN, your site will be zooming across the globe faster than a hot knife through butter.
Optimised Performance
Speedy Gonzales has nothing on us! Our servers are fine-tuned to make your WordPress site fly.
Database
Dedicated Store Database
Your store database runs on its own instance, separate from the web server. Order and stock queries never have to fight page traffic for resources.
Object Caching
Repeated database queries are held in memory, so product and category pages stay quick under load without ever touching the cart or the checkout.
Order-Safe Backups
Nightly backups include the database, so a restore brings your orders and customers back with it, not just your files.

SEO & AI Search
Core Web Vitals Ready
Google scores your real-world loading speed, and on a store the heaviest pages are the ones that sell. Dedicated resources and object caching lift those scores on product and category pages, where a brochure site never had the problem.
Fast Server Response
Time to first byte is the part of page speed that only hosting can fix. Your store runs on its own resources, so the server starts answering before the page has done any work at all.
Always Crawlable
A store that is down when Google crawls it loses ground, and rankings take longer to come back than traffic does. Uptime monitoring means we hear about it before a crawler does.
Ready for AI Search
AI answer engines cite pages they can fetch quickly and parse cleanly. Fast, reliable hosting with valid structured data is what makes your products quotable when someone asks an AI where to buy.
