Speed, security and reliability for your store

Ecommerce hosting refers to hosting solutions made specifically for online stores. These services host both your website and the ecommerce platform you’ve chosen to build your store with.

These hosting plans are built to support key ecommerce features, such as product management, shopping cart systems, payment gateways, order tracking, and essential SEO tools.

Choosing the right ecommerce hosting option gives you access to all the tools you need to succeed.

When looking at ecommerce hosting services, make a choice based on your needs and focus on these four key elements:

1. Sufficient storage and bandwidth

   Ecommerce websites need plenty of space for product images, videos, plugins, and other content. Choose a hosting provider that gives you enough room to build your store but also offers room for growth.

   While your initial storage and bandwidth needs might be modest, your hosting provider should be able to scale as your business expands.

2. Reliable uptime

   Uptime is a measure of how often your website is available. The higher your uptime, the more consistently visitors can access your store and make purchases.

   For ecommerce stores, good uptime matters because it helps your search engine rankings and improves customer experience. On the other hand, poor uptime makes your brand seem less trustworthy.

   The best hosting providers promise at least 99.9% uptime, meaning your website remains accessible without interruption.

3. Strong security

   Your ecommerce site needs to be secure and trustworthy, especially when handling sensitive customer information like payment details and personal data.

   SSL certificates are essential for protecting data through encryption. Premium hosting services include these certificates at no extra cost.

   Your hosting solution should also include protection against malware and cyber attacks as part of their comprehensive security features.

4. 24/7 support

   As with any business, it’s wise to expect the unexpected when it comes to ecommerce. Website crashes or security breaches can disrupt your operations without warning.

   Partner with hosting providers that offer 24/7 live support in your language. Top-tier ecommerce hosting services include this level of customer assistance as a standard feature.

The ideal hosting plan depends on your store’s scale and requirements.

The Business plan is a cost-effective starting point with sufficient resources for new or moderately growing online stores.

As your store grows and requires more resources, you can easily upgrade to other plans.

Cloud Startup provides enhanced performance and scalability, which is ideal for businesses experiencing consistent growth and higher traffic.

Cloud Professional offers maximum resources and performance for established, high-traffic online stores requiring robust infrastructure.

The best option will depend on the number of products you are selling and the expected amount of traffic.
