DevEdgeHosting for the parts of a store a cache can't help.
A full-page cache can make public pages fast, but logged-in customers, carts, checkout, order management and wp-admin depend heavily on dynamic processing. This hosting is sized for the parts of WooCommerce that cannot rely on full-page caching.

Why stores need different hosting
Automated monitoring runs around the clock, helping us identify availability issues and unusual resource pressure.
DDR5 + Ryzen 7950X3D
High single-core performance for responsive PHP and checkout workloads.
Redis object cache
Persistent, per-store object caching that reduces repeated database queries and helps dynamic WooCommerce requests respond faster.
Dedicated PHP workers
PHP worker capacity is sized for concurrent dynamic requests, helping carts, checkout and account activity stay responsive under load.
MariaDB, tuned
Database configuration, buffer settings and slow-query logging are tuned for WooCommerce workloads.
Full-page cache gets you the homepage. Then what?
The parts of a store that drive revenue are often the most dynamic. Carts, checkout, customer accounts and admin activity need strong server-side performance, not just fast cached pages.
Talk to us about your storeLogged-in and checkout traffic
Logged-in customers, carts and checkout requests rely heavily on dynamic PHP and database processing. The hosting platform needs to stay responsive on those uncached paths, not just when serving static or cached pages.
PHP workers and concurrency
WooCommerce performance under load depends heavily on how many dynamic PHP requests the server can process concurrently. Worker capacity is sized alongside CPU, memory and database resources to suit the workload.
Object caching that persists
Persistent Redis object caching reduces repeated database work by keeping frequently used WordPress and WooCommerce data available between requests, helping dynamic pages respond more efficiently.
Database health
WooCommerce can place heavy demands on the database through order data, scheduled actions, sessions and autoloaded options. We tune the database environment for WooCommerce workloads, while application-level database clean-up can be handled through Website Support where required.
Backups that respect orders
Automated off-server backups provide a recovery layer if something goes wrong. For major store changes, imports or deployments, an additional restore point can be created before the work begins.
Security around the checkout
Server-level security, malware scanning, Cloudflare WAF and file-integrity monitoring help protect the store and its administration area from malicious activity.
Ready for your busy days
The real test of store hosting often comes during sales, campaigns and product launches, when traffic and dynamic requests rise sharply.
Headroom before you need it
WooCommerce plans are sized with additional resource headroom for busier periods, and ongoing monitoring helps identify when your store may be approaching the limits of its current plan.
Monitoring around busy periods
Automated monitoring runs continuously, and if you let us know about an expected traffic spike we can review the hosting setup and resource requirements beforehand.
A clear path to more resources
Move through the WooCommerce hosting range as your requirements grow, with managed VPS and VDS options available when your store needs greater isolation or capacity. We handle the technical move for you.
Moving a live store across
Planned to minimise disruption, with checkout and key store functionality tested before anything switches.
Review
We review traffic, order volume, plugin stack, current hosting performance and any known bottlenecks before confirming the migration approach.
Staged copy
The store is cloned to the new environment and tested before launch, covering add to cart, checkout, payment, transactional emails and order management.
Cut over
Once testing is complete, DNS is switched with SSL in place and the cutover is planned to minimise disruption to customers.
Monitor after launch
We monitor the store closely after migration and fine-tune caching or hosting resources where required as real traffic settles onto the new environment.
What store hosting covers
WooCommerce Hosting covers the infrastructure your store runs on. Changes, development and application-level troubleshooting are handled separately, so you always know what is included in your hosting plan.

WEBSITE SUPPORT & DEVELOPMENT
A generic "WordPress" plan vs hosting built for a store
Under lighter traffic, the difference may be less noticeable. As concurrent shoppers and dynamic requests increase, the hosting environment becomes much more important.
WooCommerce hosting
WooCommerce hosting on low-density DDR5 infrastructure, with managed hosting, monitoring and a standard store migration included.
WooCommerce Start
£35/mo
For new & smaller stores.
WooCommerce Growth
£50/mo
For established stores with regular sales.
WooCommerce Scale
£70/mo
For busy & complex stores.
Higher-traffic or more demanding stores can move to managed VPS or VDS infrastructure from £75/mo, with greater resource isolation and capacity.
Why can't full-page caching handle a store?
Full-page caching works well for public pages, but carts, checkout, customer accounts and many logged-in requests are dynamic. Those requests rely more heavily on PHP, the database and object caching, which is why WooCommerce benefits from hosting designed for dynamic workloads.
How many PHP workers do I need?
It depends on how many concurrent dynamic requests your store needs to process. Traffic levels, checkout activity, plugins, background tasks and external integrations all affect the requirement. We'll recommend a suitable plan based on your store rather than using a fixed rule.
Do you tune the database?
Yes. The database environment is configured for WooCommerce workloads, including appropriate MariaDB settings and monitoring. Application-level database clean-up or optimisation inside WordPress can be handled separately through Website Support where required.
What happens during a flash sale or product drop?
Automated monitoring runs continuously. If you know a busy campaign or product launch is coming, let us know and we can review resource requirements beforehand and recommend additional headroom if needed.
Can you host high-SKU catalogues, Subscriptions or Bookings?
Yes. Stores with large catalogues, subscriptions, bookings or other dynamic workloads can be hosted with us, but they often need more resources than a simple store. We'll review the workload and recommend the most appropriate WooCommerce, VPS or VDS plan.
Do you handle PCI compliance?
We provide a secure hosting environment with SSL, server-level security, malware protection and Cloudflare WAF, but PCI DSS compliance also depends on how your store, payment gateway and business processes are configured. We can help with the technical hosting side, but formal PCI questionnaires, policies or compliance work are handled separately.
Can you also fix the store itself, not just host it?
Yes. Hosting covers the infrastructure your store runs on. WordPress and WooCommerce maintenance, troubleshooting, design changes, plugin conflicts and custom development can be handled separately through Website Support or quoted development work.
Do you support multi-currency or multiple stores?
Yes. We can host stores using multi-currency setups and more complex multi-store configurations, but the right hosting architecture depends on how the stores are built and how much traffic and data they handle. We'll review the setup before recommending a plan.
Is WooCommerce Hosting the same as Website Support?
No. WooCommerce Hosting covers the infrastructure, including server resources, caching, backups, hosting security and monitoring. Website Support covers the WordPress and WooCommerce application itself, including updates, troubleshooting, maintenance and changes.
What happens if my store outgrows these plans?
We can move your store to managed VPS or VDS infrastructure when it needs greater capacity or resource isolation. We'll handle the technical move and recommend the next step based on actual usage.
