Object cache on from day one

WooCommerce Plans

A shop is not a blog. Cart, checkout and My Account can never be page-cached, so every one of those hits runs PHP — which is why these plans are built around the object cache and PHP workers rather than around storage.

Same platform as our WordPress plans, sized differently. A shop needs PHP workers and an object cache far more than it needs disk, so that is where the money goes.
Why a shop is not a blog

Every checkout runs PHP. There is no way around it.

WooCommerce sets a cookie the moment somebody puts something in a basket, and from then on every page that visitor sees has to be built fresh. Cart, checkout and My Account can never be cached at all. That is the whole reason these plans exist.

Our own CDN, in 12 cities

A ready copy of your pages sits at the location nearest each visitor. Ours, not resold, included on every plan, and no per-gigabyte bill on the traffic it serves.

Two to five times the PHP workers

A worker builds one uncached page at a time. On a shop, every logged-in visitor and every step of checkout needs one — so the WooCommerce Starter gets 10 where the WordPress Starter gets 4.

Object cache, already on

The database queries WooCommerce repeats on every uncacheable page are answered from memory instead. It is switched on when your store is created, not left as a plugin for you to configure.

Cart and checkout excluded from page cache

Set up correctly at the server, before you ever see the site. Nobody has ever been shown another customer's basket because of a caching rule we wrote.

Staging that copies the orders too

Test a plugin update against a real catalogue and real order data, then publish it over the live store — with one click back if the update turns out to be the bad kind.

SSL on every domain, renewed for you

A shop without a padlock does not take payments. Certificates are issued the day DNS points here and renewed without you thinking about it.

Mailboxes for order mail

orders@, support@, returns@ — real IMAP mailboxes on your own domain, with webmail, so order notifications are not coming from a free address.

Nightly backups, kept 30 days

On every WooCommerce plan, not just the big one. A shop that loses a week of orders has lost a week of its accounts as well.

Malware scanning, quarantined not deleted

Card-skimming code goes into WordPress through a plugin far more often than through a server. Every account is scanned on a schedule and anything found is moved aside for you to look at.

We move the shop, including the orders

Send us the old host's login. We rebuild it here, you check the catalogue and the checkout on a temporary address, and only then does DNS move.

Where shops actually go wrong

A shop does not get slow gradually. It gets slow on the busiest evening.

Every WooCommerce store is fine at three visitors. What matters is the night your ad works.

Workers are the number that runs out

When every worker is busy building a checkout page, the next visitor waits in a queue. On a blog that almost never happens because pages are cached. On a shop it is the normal case, which is why these plans are sized around workers first.

The object cache takes repeated queries away

WooCommerce asks the database the same questions over and over on pages it cannot cache. With the object cache on they are answered from memory, and the database is left to do the work only it can do.

Test the plugin update before it takes the shop down

Staging copies your real catalogue and your real orders. Update there, click through a checkout, and only then publish. If it goes wrong anyway, one click puts the old store back.

Somebody who will actually look

When a checkout breaks you do not want a ticket number. Live chat reaches a person who can log into the server your store is on and read the PHP error log with you.

Moving in

We move your website. You stay online while we do it.

Two ways in, both free, and neither one takes your site offline. The only thing you are choosing is who does the work.

Most sites inside 24 hours

  1. You

    Pick a plan

    Minutes

    You choose a plan, add the domain name, choose a data centre location and purchase the plan. Then create a migration request from the control panel providing some details of the website, and we will migrate it for you while your website stays entirely live.

  2. Us

    We move your site here

    Inside 24 hours

    Based on the login details or backup files you gave us, we move your website from your old host to HostCrafter — and in this entire process your website stays entirely online and live.

  3. You

    Check it, then change the DNS

    When you say

    After the migration is completed we will let you know. Before changing the DNS we suggest you check your migrated website using the temp URL, and if everything works then change the DNS. There are three ways to connect your domain: your existing DNS service like Cloudflare, our nameservers, or the CNAME given in the control panel — which is how you use our CDN while staying on Cloudflare.

We take care of your website. Tell us if your site is broken or has malware in it and we will fix it as part of the migration process — we handle themes, plugins and all kinds of technical WordPress things.

No ticket, no queue

  1. You

    Take a backup, or use an existing one

    Where you are now

    Take a backup of your site using any of the plugins — UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, BackWPup — or just a zip of the files and an SQL export.

  2. You

    Open Quick Migration from the control panel

    1–2 minutes

    From the control panel click Quick Migration, select or add the domain you want to migrate, then select the type of backup you are holding. Upload the backup file — .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .gz, .sql, .sql.gz, .wpress and .daf are all accepted — and click Migrate. It usually takes 1–2 minutes, and longer for larger sites.

  3. You

    Change the DNS

    When you say

    Once the migration is done, before changing the DNS we suggest you check the website using the temp URL. If everything works, you have one last job: change the DNS. For Cloudflare or your existing DNS provider use the IP or the CNAME we give you, or you can use our nameservers instead.

If it stops halfway, tell us in live chat and we will help you complete it.

There is a person here, and they know WordPress

Not a call centre reading a script. Whoever answers you can also log into the server your site is on. English or Hindi.

Questions

WooCommerce hosting questions

Why is this more than the WordPress plan for the same number of sites?

Because a store costs us more to run. A blog serves most of its pages from cache without ever starting PHP; a store cannot cache cart, checkout or My Account at all, so those pages run PHP every single time. You are paying for PHP workers, memory and an object cache, not for extra disk.

Will you set WooCommerce up for me?

We install WordPress and WooCommerce, switch on the object cache and make sure cart and checkout are excluded from the page cache. Your products, your payment gateway and your theme are yours — but if something on the hosting side is fighting you, ask on chat and we will look.

How many orders a day will Starter take?

There is no honest single number, because one shop's checkout runs three plugins and another runs thirty. As a rough guide, Starter is comfortable for a store doing tens of orders a day; if you are doing hundreds, start on Growth. You can move up at any time without moving the site.

Do you cache the shop pages at all?

Catalogue and product pages, yes — those are the same for everyone until something is in the basket. The moment WooCommerce sets its cart cookie, that visitor stops being served from cache. That is deliberate and it is how it has to be.

Can I run a store and some blogs on the same plan?

Yes. The site count is just websites — mix stores and ordinary WordPress sites however you want. If most of them are blogs, the WordPress plans will be better value.

Do you take payments or handle PCI for me?

No, and neither does any host that tells you otherwise. Your payment gateway handles the card details — Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, whatever you use. What we do is keep the server patched, the traffic on SSL, and the site scanned for anything that should not be there.

Move your store across free

Catalogue, customers and orders. Your current shop keeps taking orders until you are happy with the copy running here.
