Frequently Asked Questions
Can you migrate existing WooCommerce stores to Cloudways during a deal?
Yes, you can easily migrate your existing WooCommerce stores to Cloudways during a promotional deal. Cloudways provides free migration, so agencies can move their stores safely and smoothly, enjoy the discounted pricing, and benefit from a high performance, fully managed hosting setup without any downtime.
What makes Cloudways a good value for agencies hosting WooCommerce stores?
Cloudways is a good choice for agencies hosting multiple WooCommerce stores because it offers fully managed cloud hosting with flexibility to choose your preferred cloud provider, scale resources as needed, and host multiple sites on a single server. You also get performance focused features like Varnish, Redis, and built-in caching, ensuring fast and reliable store performance.
What is managed WooCommerce hosting?
Managed WooCommerce web hosting provides a dedicated or cloud-based environment optimized for WooCommerce stores. It includes enhanced security, performance tuning, and expert support, making it the best web hosting for WooCommerce.
What is the difference between WooCommerce hosting and hosting for WordPress?
The key difference is that WooCommerce managed hosting is specifically optimized for online stores, offering better performance and scalability. Not all hosting plans for WordPress meet WooCommerce’s unique resource demands, making WooCommerce cloud hosting a better choice for eCommerce businesses.
While our managed WordPress hosting is best for all kinds of WordPress-based websites including blogs, portfolios, news etc. we would recommend WooCommerce web hosting if you own an eCommerce store.
I am confused between choosing Shopify and WooCommerce. Please advice?
WooCommerce and Shopify are two of the most popular CMS in the ecommerce industry. Each has its pros and cons.
WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce platform that could be customized to fit almost all business scenarios. In contrast, Shopify is a closed-source platform, but it does offer ready-to-go themes and plugins. In terms of pricing, WooCommerce is cheaper since it is free. Shopify offers solutions ranging from $9 to $299 per month and takes between 0.5 and 2% commission on your sales.
When it comes to scalability, users consider Shopify to be expensive. With WooCommerce, you are in full control of the server resources and pay only for the tools you use. On the other hand, with Shopify, your control over your store is somewhat limited, and you will have to pay a fixed amount regardless of your usage. Read more about WooCommerce vs Shopify in our detailed comparison.

How much does it cost to use hosting for WooCommerce?
Cloudways has flexible and transparent pricing plans for hosting WooCommerce.
The cost of hosting your online store starts at just $22/month or $0.0305/hour for a recommended 2GB DigitalOcean server. A similar Cloudways managed Vultr server costs only $23/month or $0.0319/hour.
Thanks to our Pay-As-You-Go pricing model, you only pay for what you use. No more, no less! For instance, if you use a server for five hours and then delete it, the invoice will be $0.0305 * 5 (hours) = $0.1525 only.
Note that this is just the price for hosting the store on a Cloudways managed server. If you need more details about the operational costs of your ecommerce store using WooCommerce web hosting, you can read this detailed guide on WooCommerce pricing.
