Hosting for e-commerce stores

Web hosting for e-commerce storesGive every order a clear path.

From a product page to an order confirmation, your shop needs more than a place to display stock. Compare hosting for your store software, then check the buying journey before sending shoppers to it.

Build around the order, not just the product grid

A shopper should be able to find the right item, see the delivery terms and finish paying. Those steps depend on the store setup as well as the server it runs on.

A product page that answers the next question

Show useful photographs, the available options and stock status. Put delivery and return information where a buyer can find it before reaching checkout.

A checkout you have tried yourself

Test an ordinary purchase and an unsuccessful payment. Check the order record and the message the customer receives, including what happens when they return from the payment provider.

Messages that reach the right inbox

Confirm the shop sends the order notice to your team and the confirmation to the buyer. Use the email delivery method your store and provider recommend.

Size your store around checkout and the catalogue

For a WooCommerce shop, check product images, variants and the number of shoppers likely to check out at the same time. If you are migrating, test a product search, payment and order email on the new setup before switching your domain.

Choose capacity around the way the shop runs

The number of products is only one part of the workload. Images, search filters, plugins and people checking out at the same time also use resources.

A first WordPress shop

Check the installation and test a basket

Compare our hosting plans against the current requirements of WordPress, WooCommerce and your chosen extensions. Starter lists 30 GiB SSD storage; check the software requirements with support before installing a new store.

A busy or heavily customised store

Measure the work before the campaign

Use real traffic and application measurements to decide whether to move to a larger service. Give your developer the expected promotion traffic, checkout activity and plugin list when assessing a VPS or another server option.

Keep selling details separate from hosting features

Payments and delivery

Choose a payment provider and configure a compatible gateway in the shop. Delivery zones, rates and collection options also belong in the store settings. A hosting order does not configure them for you.

Changes to a trading store

Keep a recovery copy before changing the theme or payment extension. Test the checkout again after updates, especially the pages involved in returning from a payment service.

Restore the shop without losing the order trail

Starter and Pro list daily backups. Before a restore, check which orders arrived after the recovery point and how your team will reconcile them with payment records.

Before the next promotion goes out

A short order test is more useful than checking only that the homepage opens. Use the actual delivery area and payment route you intend to offer.

01

Check the basket

Choose a product variation, change the quantity and check delivery costs. Try it on a small screen.

02

Follow the payment result

Use the provider’s approved test flow and confirm both the store status and the customer-facing result.

03

Check fulfilment

Make sure the person packing the order sees the details they need. Check confirmation messages and the refund process.

Online shop FAQs

How much does e-commerce hosting cost?

The shared hosting options include WebHosting Starter at Kshs 2,500 for a year and Webhosting Starter Monthly at Kshs 500 per month. Confirm that your store’s software and workload fit the selected plan before ordering.

Payment-provider charges, paid store extensions, the domain and website development can add to the store’s running cost.

Is shared hosting good for WooCommerce?

It can be an option for a modest store, but check the current software requirements and test its workload. WooCommerce publishes requirements for WordPress, PHP, the database and memory.

Your theme and extensions may need more than the core plugin.

Does hosting include an online store?

The hosting account and the store setup are separate. You need to install or move the software, add products and configure payment and delivery.

If you want a different route to building the shop, compare our online store service as well.

Can customers pay with M-PESA?

You need a compatible payment integration and an approved provider account that offers M-PESA. Check the gateway with its provider and test its payment confirmations in your store.

Buying hosting alone does not enable that payment method.

How much storage does an online shop need?

Count the website files, product images, email and database, then leave room for growth. Resize display images instead of uploading unnecessarily large originals.

Product count alone does not describe the storage or processing your shop will use.

Can I move my shop without losing orders?

Plan the migration with a clear cut-off for new orders and a final data copy. Keep payment records available for reconciliation.

Agree the database, files, email and DNS steps with the person moving the shop, then test an order on the new service.

Does an SSL certificate make checkout secure?

SSL enables HTTPS encryption between the browser and the site. The store still needs maintained software, appropriate access and a correctly configured payment integration.

Use your payment provider’s supported flow and check that the entire order journey works over HTTPS.

When Your Store Starts Costing You Sales

Your online store depends on stable hosting, but the wrong setup can quietly drive customers away and interrupt sales.
If any of these issues sound familiar, your hosting may be hurting your business:

  • Product pages that load slowly on mobile devices.
  • Customers reporting that your store is unavailable.
  • Unexpected downtime during peak shopping hours.
  • Order or payment emails failing to reach customers.
  • A system that makes updates difficult and time-consuming
  • Delayed support when sales are already at risk

These aren’t technical annoyances, they’re missed orders, lost revenue, and damaged customer trust.
