Why Sell From Here
What a shop needs to convert lookers into customers
Pace that protects the sale
NVMe drives underneath, store-aware caching above, and basket pages render faster along with the page where card details go. Shave a second off that journey and one more shopper reaches the end of it.
A PCI-ready payment path
Nothing to configure. The payment route is locked down before you arrive: your account isolated, free SSL issued, TLS at its current version. Bolt on whichever PCI-compliant gateway you prefer.
99.9% uptime, or a credit
Redundant hardware in our London datacentre is what keeps the shop trading when a component gives out. We guarantee 99.9% each month, and where it lands short, a pro-rated credit is issued.
It grows with the order book
When orders outgrow the plan, two clicks buy more CPU, RAM and disk. Your shop never leaves the machine it sits on, so catalogue and settings stay put, nothing rewritten, nothing re-keyed.
Watched every hour
Copies of the shop are taken on a schedule you never think about, and malware scanning runs nonstop. A web application firewall stands between the storefront and the open internet, guarding the buyer and the order. Nothing to switch on.
Engineers answer, not scripts
Orders stop the moment a shop goes dark, and that is money out of the month. Tickets and email reach an engineer at any hour, with no chain of departments in between.
No Waiting
A checkout quick enough for your shoppers
Slow pages lose orders quietly, and no report on your dashboard will ever put a figure on the loss. All-NVMe hardware carries every shop here, with commerce-aware caching layered over it, so catalogue, basket and payment pages answer without lag while sessions, coupons and live stock counts still behave exactly as a shopper expects them to.
- NVMe storage across the board
- Storefront-literate caching
- Abandonment rates pushed down
- Payment and basket pages that move
Locked-Down Payments
A foundation hardened for taking card payments
Trust decides whether a card number gets typed at all, and a page that looks doubtful never gets one. Free SSL encrypts the whole path, from the opening click through to the confirmation screen. Isolation, a web application firewall and malware scanning seal the shop. On that footing, meeting PCI requirements is straightforward, whichever gateway you have chosen to run.
- Every store gets free SSL
- Isolated, hardened accounts
- Malware scans behind a firewall
- Current TLS the whole way

Who It's For
Every size of shop, at whatever stage
Stores opening for the first time
WooCommerce arrives installed and SSL switched on, both waiting at your first login. The name is yours for a year. You can take a payment before the catalogue holds a single product.
Catalogs gathering momentum
Room enough for a deep catalogue, plus a staging copy parked beside the live shop. Add lines whenever you want, and test an edit somewhere no customer will ever stumble into it.
High-season traffic
Storefront caching soaks up the rest, so checkout stays open through a launch, a flash sale or the holiday peak. Push resources up when you need more.
Route to Launch
From sign-up to your first order, step by step
- 1
Pick your plan
Pick Launch, Pro or Elite against the traffic you expect and the size of your catalogue. Each one brings WooCommerce, SSL and the first year of the name.
- 2
Connect a payment gateway
Connect Stripe, PayPal or whichever processor you prefer to a checkout that is encrypted and laid out along PCI lines. Most keep card numbers within their own systems, which means yours never holds one.
- 3
Open up, then grow
Go live and start filling orders. Watch the numbers. When visits and sales begin to press against the plan, one click moves you up a tier.

FAQ
Store hosting questions, answered
How does hosting for a shop differ from an ordinary plan?
Selling changes what a server has to do, so this is ordinary web hosting pulled apart and rebuilt around a shop. A brochure site can be cached whole and forgotten. A shop cannot: pages are built on request, baskets and sessions refuse to sit still for blunt caching, and stock counts shift minute by minute while the encrypted checkout has to answer at the exact hour load peaks. Underneath sits all-NVMe storage, which returns catalogue and basket pages without hanging about. The cache is clever enough to leave live stock and open baskets alone. Free SSL covers the whole checkout, the uptime target is 99.9%, and headroom rises as order volume does. Your account runs on its own and hardened, with a web application firewall ahead of it, malware scanning behind it, and automatic copies protecting your customers and everything they have bought. WooCommerce runs the shop itself, the most widely deployed store software on the web, and it takes no commission out of anything you sell.
Do these plans force me onto WooCommerce?
No, and you are free to ignore it. We build the plans around WooCommerce for reasons worth stating: the code is open, it bends in whatever direction you push it, and unlike a hosted shop platform it takes no slice of each sale, so the margin on an order stays where you earned it. After that, the theme is yours, the extensions are yours, and so is the gateway you wire in. Prefer a different PHP shop platform? Sitting below all of it is plain cPanel, with Softaculous and its 240-plus installers, plus SSH, Git and Composer waiting if you would sooner deploy by hand. You get up to 100 MySQL or MariaDB databases as well, and phpMyAdmin for working through them. Most owners land on WooCommerce anyway. They stay for the flexibility and for the community around it, though nothing on the server holds you to one platform.
Why does checkout run quicker here than at an average host?
Two things decide it: what the disks can manage, and how much the cache understands. Every shop here sits on all-NVMe storage, a clear step up from the SATA SSDs and spinning platters that plenty of budget hosts still run, so product lookups, basket reads and order writes come back without hanging about. Our caching layer knows it is serving a shop and not a brochure. Catalogue and static content are served from cache, while baskets, sessions, coupons and stock counts stay live, which is why nobody is ever handed a stranger's basket or a price that expired last week. LiteSpeed, HTTP/2 and current PHP 8.x builds cut the work in each request, and free SSL encrypts the lot at a cost in speed you will never notice. Resources on your account belong to your account alone, so none of this comes apart as visitors arrive. A quiet Tuesday and your busiest sale day ought to feel much the same.
What does security look like here, and where does PCI sit?
Start with the certificate. Free SSL reissues itself and wraps the checkout end to end in current TLS, so card numbers and personal details are encrypted in transit on every page, not only the one holding the payment form. Each account is walled off from its neighbours and hardened. A web application firewall filters hostile requests, malware scanning runs without a break, and DDoS protection at network level keeps a shop trading while an attack is in progress. PCI splits two ways. Your processor carries one half, and most of them, Stripe and PayPal among them, keep card numbers on their own systems. Raw card data never touches yours, which lands you in the lightest PCI band, usually a short self-assessment questionnaire. The encrypted, isolated, monitored infrastructure below is ours to look after. Patch the platform and its plugins, set an admin password worth the name, choose a gateway with a decent record, and your customers can pay without worrying.
If a rush of visitors arrives, what does the platform do?
Growth is the point, and the platform is built expecting it. Through a normal week, store-aware caching over all-NVMe storage lets a plan carry a good deal more than its headline specification suggests, because most catalogue requests are answered out of cache rather than assembled from scratch. Push beyond that with a product launch, a flash sale or the holiday rush and two clicks move you up a tier, bringing more CPU, RAM and disk along. Nothing gets re-platformed. There is no migration and no rebuild: your catalogue, your customers, their orders and every setting stay exactly where they were, only the resources beneath them grow, and the change takes hold quickly. Duplicated hardware in the London datacentre is there to absorb spikes, which keeps checkout open on the days your takings depend on it. See a rush coming? Step up before it lands, then drop back when the numbers settle.
Can you migrate a shop I already run, or is that my job?
We move it across for you, and there is no fee attached. Sign up first, then raise a ticket carrying the login details for your current host. From there the job is ours: WordPress and WooCommerce, the database behind them, every product image and media file, and the whole history of orders and customer records you have built up. Most moves finish within roughly 24 hours. Nearly all of the work happens on the new server while your existing shop carries on trading, so the checkout is unavailable for a moment or not at all. Where the setup allows, we build the shop on a staging URL first, which lets you click through it and push a test order through before DNS is touched. Give the word and the name is pointed here, with free SSL coming on by itself. Running a custom theme, or an extension nobody has heard of? Mention it in the ticket and we plan the move around it.

Browse Store PlansEvery extra second on a product page is a customer drifting towards a competitor. A shop needs immediate storage, an unbroken padlock and backups that run whether or not anybody remembers. Every account runs on NVMe storage with LiteSpeed in front, in our London datacentre, watched by the same engineers who answer your tickets.
Built for sellers taking payments online. A free certificate, a free transfer from your current host, nightly backups and support at any hour are all inside the price, with nothing added at checkout.
Hosting that keeps orders flowing
NVMe storage keeps database queries brisk, LiteSpeed caches the catalogue pages, and OPcache serves compiled PHP without a pause. A free certificate secures the checkout, nightly backups protect the orders, and the one-click installers stand up WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart or PrestaShop in under a minute.
Speed is engineered in rather than bolted on with a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads immediate, LiteSpeed answers over HTTP/2, and the server caches before your application does anything at all.
The cost of hosting a store
The oldest move in hosting is a cheap first year and a quiet rise at renewal. Hosting & Domains works the other way about: the number you join at is the number that renews, and anything promotional is flagged on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying it risks nothing more than an afternoon.
Open on a plan from $2.42 a month and move to a VPS at $13.52 when the catalogue and the traffic justify it. Neither move calls for a rebuild, and neither price wanders at renewal.
The engine behind an online store
Shops run in our London datacentre behind edge DDoS filtering, on NVMe arrays with nightly backups of files and database. By the time a payment gateway asks about encryption, the certificate exists and is already renewing itself.
Support runs every hour of the day, staffed by the people who administer these servers, with a first reply aimed at 2 hours and 1 hour when a site is down. No tier hands you to a bot.

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Which shop platform makes sense for me here?
WooCommerce when the site already runs WordPress, OpenCart when you want light and quick, Magento when the catalogue is large and the budget agrees. Each installs in one click, and our desk will give you a straight answer on which suits the plan you are considering.
How long until everything is running?
The account provisions itself at checkout, so minutes rather than days. If an existing store needs bringing over, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the cutover so nothing goes offline.
Does the renewal price differ from the joining price?
It renews at the price you joined on. Where a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was printed beside it before you ordered, so nothing appears later.
What if ecommerce hosting turns out not to suit me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say so inside the month and the refund is processed, with no exit interview and no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue.
