Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in the best WooCommerce hosting?
The best WooCommerce hosting keeps checkout fast under load, keeps your store secure, and makes updates and recovery safe. Look for built-in caching and object caching, a firewall and malware protection, automatic backups with staging, room to scale during sales, and support that answers around the clock. Cloudways covers each of these, with Flexible for control and Autonomous for hosting that scales on its own.
How can I test WooCommerce plugin updates before they go live?
Use Site Manager Pro (formerly SafeUpdates), which tests WordPress and plugin updates on a staging clone before they reach your live store. It backs up the site first, compares before and after screenshots, deploys the update if the checks pass and rolls back automatically if they fail. It works on Flexible with WordPress sites only, allows one schedule per site, and updates you run by hand can take until the next sync to appear.
How does Cloudways protect WooCommerce stores from malware and attacks?
WooCommerce security on Cloudways depends on your plan, and no security tool stops every threat. On Flexible, the Imunify360 firewall blocks brute-force attempts and bad bots, malware scanning and alerts are free, and a Patchstack-powered scanner flags vulnerable plugins and themes. You can add the Malware Protection add-on for automatic cleanup. Autonomous includes Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection and malware protection.
How do I speed up a slow WooCommerce checkout?
To speed up WooCommerce checkout, start with the server. Object Cache Pro cuts repeated database queries on dynamic pages like cart and checkout, a current PHP version (7.4 through 8.4) keeps your code running efficiently, and extra RAM or CPU helps when traffic spikes. On Flexible, Copilot can diagnose server issues such as 5xx errors, and you can test any change on a staging copy before it touches the live store.
Should I choose Cloudways Flexible or Autonomous for my WooCommerce store?
Choose Flexible if you want control over your servers, and Autonomous if you want hosting that scales itself. Flexible lets you pick the cloud provider and server size, bills by the hour and includes tools like Git, SSH and staging. Autonomous is a Kubernetes-based setup that adds and removes servers as traffic changes, with Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection and malware protection included. Copilot, the Imunify360 firewall, the Malware Protection add-on and Site Manager Pro are Flexible only.
Does the Black Friday offer apply to WooCommerce hosting on Cloudways?
Yes, the Black Friday offer applies to WooCommerce hosting. Create a new account with code BFCM802 by December 4, and your first 2 months are 80% off, up to $200 off per month. The Large server at $99, which the page recommends for ecommerce stores, comes to $19.80 a month.
Can you migrate existing WooCommerce stores to Cloudways during a deal?
Yes, you can migrate your store to Cloudways while a promotion is running. WooCommerce migration is free, and our team can handle the move for you, or you can use the free WordPress Migrator plugin and transfer it yourself. Check the offer terms in the pricing section to see how the current promotion applies to your plan.
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 hosting means the host runs the cloud servers behind your store, so you can focus on selling. On Cloudways, that includes caching built for WooCommerce, security protections, backups, staging and 24/7 expert support. With Flexible you also choose the cloud provider and server size. With Autonomous, the platform scales for you.
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?
Choose WooCommerce if you want full control and flexibility, and Shopify if you want a ready-made, closed platform. WooCommerce is open source, so you can customize almost any store scenario and control your server resources and hosting costs. Shopify offers ready-to-go themes and plugins, but it charges its own plan fees and gives you less control over your store. Compare both against your budget, traffic and customization needs. Read more about WooCommerce vs Shopify in our detailed comparison.
How much does it cost to use hosting for WooCommerce?
WooCommerce hosting on Cloudways starts with Flexible, which is pay-as-you-go: you pay by the hour for the server size and cloud provider you pick, and the exact prices are in the pricing table above. Autonomous uses monthly plans with autoscaling. These prices cover hosting only. Other store costs, such as themes, plugins and payment fees, are separate. 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.
Can I create WooCommerce Multisite?
Yes, hosting WooCommerce multisite on Cloudways is easy. Just launch a WordPress Multisite instance and install WooCommerce on your WooCommerce cloud hosting server.
Why does a WooCommerce store load faster on Cloudways?
A WooCommerce store loads faster on Cloudways because several speed layers work together. The Lightning Stack (NGINX with PHP-FPM) comes at no extra cost, and Cloudways reports up to 65% faster performance for dynamic sites. Varnish, Redis, Memcached and the free Object Cache Pro cut repeated database work, and the free Breeze plugin handles page caching. You can add Cloudflare Enterprise as a WooCommerce CDN.
Do I need WordPress installed to use WooCommerce?
If you want to host WooCommerce store, you should directly launch a server with WordPress with WooCommerce installation. This way, you’ll get the full benefits of Varnish cache on your fast WooCommerce cloud hosting.
How many WooCommerce instances can I install on one server?
On Flexible, you can host unlimited WooCommerce sites on a single server. The practical limit is the server’s resources, so add RAM, CPU and storage as your stores grow. Autonomous works with its own plans and autoscaling, so check the Autonomous plan details in the pricing table to see how many sites each plan covers.
Do you provide backups for WooCommerce?
Yes, your WooCommerce stores get automatic backups by default. You can adjust how often backups run, and restore a backup if an update or change goes wrong. Autonomous plans include backups too, with partial restore. Taking regular WooCommerce backups means you can recover your store quickly without rebuilding it.
Which caching plugins are supported on your Managed WooCommerce hosting?
Breeze - WordPress Cache Plugin comes built-in with all WooCommerce Stores hosted on Cloudways. But if you prefer to use other cache plugins like WPRocket or W3TC, you can do so without any restrictions.
How can I migrate my WooCommerce store to your managed cloud hosting platform?
You can easily migrate your Woo stores to our best WooCommerce hosting with the free WordPress Migrator Plugin that allows for unlimited and quick migrations.
Does WooCommerce come with Free SSL Certificates?
Yes, our fast WooCommerce website hosting comes with free SSL certificates by Let’s Encrypt for improved security and data encryption on your WooCommerce stores.
Can I add team members to manage my WooCommerce Store?
Yes! You can add team members via our Team Collaboration feature and share limited or full access to your WooCommerce stores and servers. Our WooCommerce cloud hosting platform lets you collaborate with your teams seamlessly.
