Online Store Hosting South Africa

Q: What is online store hosting?

Online store hosting is web hosting tuned for ecommerce: fast storage, a database-ready server, SSL and the resources a shopping cart needs to run smoothly and securely under real shopper traffic.

Q: How much does it cost to host an online store?

Our plans are shown above with monthly pricing in Rand. The right plan depends on your traffic and catalogue size; smaller stores start on an affordable entry plan and scale up as sales grow.

Q: Can you host my WooCommerce or Shopify store?

We host WooCommerce, Magento and any self-hosted store on our servers. Shopify is hosted by Shopify itself, but we can host your separate marketing website and connect it.

Q: Is SSL included for secure payments?

Yes. A free SSL certificate is included on every plan, encrypting transactions and meeting the security expectations of payment gateways and shoppers.

Our LiteSpeed stack and caching are built for traffic spikes, and you can upgrade resources instantly, so promotions and busy periods will not take your shop offline.

Q: Do you offer free migration?

Yes. We migrate your existing online store to our hosting free of charge, with no downtime, so you switch without losing sales or data.

Most stores on our NVMe and LiteSpeed hosting serve pages in under a second, which improves conversions and Google ranking.

Q: Do you back up my store?

Automatic daily backups are included, so your products, orders and customer data can be restored quickly if anything goes wrong.

Q: Can I get a store built and hosted together?

Yes. Pair hosting with our store build services, see ecommerce website design cost or build your online store, and we will host it for you too.

Q: What support do I get?

Real South African technicians help by ticket or phone, with 24/7 server monitoring behind the scenes. For a fully managed WooCommerce option see ecommerce website hosting, or plan a new site with website development pricing.

Our managed hosting service sits in between: a reliable hosting solution and tuned web hosting packages built for an online store, not a blog. As your e-commerce store grows you simply move up a hosting package, with the right hosting resources added on demand.

What type of hosting is best for an online shop?

The best hosting for an online shop depends on scale. A small WooCommerce store runs well on a shared hosting account, while a busy online shop may need a virtual private server hosting plan. We help with picking a hosting tier and act as your long-term hosting partner, from website creation to launching your e-commerce store on a popular e-commerce platform, each server tuned for performance.

Do you offer managed WordPress hosting and other hosting types?

Yes. Beyond our online store plan we offer managed WordPress hosting, a full web hosting service and various hosting options to run an ecommerce website or a business website. Our ecommerce hosting service keeps every server fast and secure, so building your online store on the right type of hosting and the best hosting tier is simple from day one.

Is your online store hosting good for SEO and performance?

Yes. Fast web hosting is a ranking factor, so our online store hosting is built for SEO and speed. Each server delivers quick load times that help your ecommerce website rank and start selling, while reliable hosting and a strong web hosting service keep your online shop online. Good hosting is the foundation every online store needs to grow.

What server and hosting options power your online store hosting?

Every online store hosting plan runs on a dedicated server stack tuned as a fast web hosting environment. As your hosting provider we manage the server, the web hosting software and security, so you never touch a server yourself. Need more power than shared hosting? Move from a shared hosting account to VPS hosting, a private server with reserved web hosting resources. We compare hosting companies and hosting packages, host WordPress and WooCommerce, and keep checkout on a secure server. Whether you run a WordPress website or a custom store, the right web hosting server keeps every checkout fast.
