“What I like about SiteGround is the support is super friendly and attentive. I also love how easy it is that I work on my site locally, push to GitHub and it just magically appears on the server. I really appreciate not having to think about the site and the upgrades too.”

Yes, your WooCommerce site requires hosting if you want it to be accessible on the internet. You may work on your WooCommerce on your local computer without hosting, but if you wish to publish it live, then you need to sign up for hosting that supports WooCommerce.
WooCommerce is a plugin for the CMS called WordPress. If you wish to build an online shop, you would get both WordPress and WooCommerce installed for a start. That means that essentially the hosting requirements for servicing both of these softwares are the same. The difference is in the quantity of the server resources that may be needed to ensure the proper functioning of a site built on WordPress vs. one built on WooCommerce. Usually, online shops built on WooCommerce use more server resources than websites built on WordPress and hence, hosting WooCommerce may be more expensive. Of course, it all depends on how big your site or e-shop is and especially how big their databases are. The bigger the sites, the heavier resource users they become.
Starting an online store is easier and cheaper than you may think! One of the most popular and free ways to build an e-shop is WooCommerce, which is a plugin for WordPress CMS. If you choose to use WooCommerce, you get free and very flexible software, which does not require development skills to get you started. All you need is a hosting service that can support WooCommerce. SiteGround offers managed WordPress and WooCommerce service, which includes automatic installation of the software and automatic updates to keep it fast and safe. On top of that, we provide performance and security solutions that make your online store work smoothly and generate uninterrupted revenue flow.
No, WooCommerce as a stand-alone application does not impose any fees. The software itself is free for anyone to use and there are no transaction or other fees associated. Any costs related to your WooCommerce sites depend on how you build, configure and manage it.
Get a free CDN service at SiteGround. The CDN tremendously speeds up your page load time for visitors from different geographical locations. In order to speed up the delivery of a page, it caches its content on multiple servers across the globe and serves it to the visitor from their nearest location.
By default, we enable NGINX Direct Delivery for all sites on our servers, which means that certain items, like your images, will load faster and will be directly served by NGINX. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved by using the higher levels of our SuperCacher service. This connects your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service available on all hosting plans. For online stores specifically, where dynamic caching may be a problem for shopping cart behavior, we cleverly monitor whether users have items in their cart and exclude them from caching.
Our servers are located in some of the best data centers in the world and run on the latest SSD disks. Our hardware is updated regularly. We provide multiple software speed enhancements like HTTP/2, Memcached, additional PHP optimization through the OPCache extension, and more.
Having an SSL is more than just a best practice for websites, it’s an industry standard. SSL certificates protect the data transmitted through your site and make sure you meet the requirements of search engines that flag unsecured sites. It is mandatory for ecommerce sites and those that gather user data.
We partnered and financially supported since its founding the Let’s Encrypt project, which offers free SSL for anyone. With our in-house integration of Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates can be issued and renewed automatically for sites hosted on our platform.
All new sites hosted on our platform get the free Standard SSL enabled. Clients may switch to a free Wildcard SSL at any time from their Site Tools. Read more.
Keeping your WooCommerce application up-to-date with the latest version is an important step in maintaining a secure site. If you find the update process difficult or simply forget to keep track of the new releases, our automatic WordPress software and plugin (WooCommerce and all other plugins included) updates are for you. You can also schedule how soon your site is updated after a new version is released or even skip a version if you need more time to prepare for the update.
Sleep easy knowing your site is fully backed up and protected from data loss, hacking, or human error. We automatically save daily backups and keep 30 copies on your account.
If something breaks your site, usually the fastest way to bring it back online is to do a full backup restore. We provide an easy restore tool to roll back to a previous copy of your site with a click. Thus you can do a free restore of your site, whenever this is needed.
GrowBig and GoGeek users can have up to 5 free on-demand backups created and stored on their account. For StartUp accounts the on-demand backup costs $29.95 AUD Excl. 10% GST.
Many of our customers maintain dynamic sites that require updates and changes as their businesses grow. However, big changes can be risky and it's a good practice to test any major change in a safe environment that won't affect your live site. That is why we've developed our Staging tool, which is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans.
The Staging tool allows you to create an exact copy of your site in a click so you can work on it before pushing changes live. That way you can test any new code changes and make sure they don’t break your site. Or, you can modify the environment to see how your site will behave with a new PHP version for example before switching it live.
Any changes made can be pushed to your live site with confidence, in one click! Upon pushing live, you can exclude databases and other changes that might overwrite new data recorded on the live site during testing. Just to be on the safe side, we also perform automatic backups each time you upload a staging version to production.
We also develop unique solutions like our AI anti-bot system that effectively blocks millions of security threats every day.
We manage the overall security of your application at a server and firewall level by keeping track of WordPress & WooCommerce-related vulnerabilities and patching against exploits. We add dozens of rules each year and we are able to protect your sites even before the software releases an official security update.
