Why Sell From Here
Everything needed to convert more of your visitors
Pace that protects the sale
Commerce caching sitting on NVMe drives speeds cart and payment pages up, and every second saved is another buyer who finishes the order.
A PCI-ready payment path
Your payment route turns up already secured, with isolation per account, free SSL and modern TLS, and it slots straight in beside any PCI-compliant gateway.
99.9% uptime, or we credit you
Duplicate hardware inside our London facility keeps the store trading, and that 99.9% figure comes with a guarantee attached. Fall short in any month and a pro-rated credit follows.
Scales with the order book
Once demand picks up, extra CPU, RAM and storage sit two clicks away. Your catalogue and settings ride along untouched, and no server move is needed.
Watched every hour
Between your store and the open internet sits a web application firewall. Malware scanning never stops running, and backups take themselves. Buyers stay covered, and so do their orders.
Engineers answer, not scripts
Offline means money not taken, minute by minute. So an actual engineer picks up your ticket or email whatever the clock says, and nobody passes you around departments.
No Waiting
A checkout that keeps up with customers
Orders leak away on sluggish pages, and no report you run will ever flag it. Your store rides here on all-NVMe hardware with commerce-aware caching, which keeps catalogue, cart and payment pages quick while sessions, coupons and live stock counts carry on doing exactly what shoppers expect of them.
- NVMe storage across the board
- Storefront-literate caching
- Abandonment rates pushed down
- Payment and cart pages that fly
Locked-Down Payments
A hardened footing for taking payments
Card details never get typed into a page somebody doubts. Free SSL encrypts the whole journey from click through to confirmation, while account isolation, a web application firewall and malware scanning keep the store sealed shut. That gives you a dependable footing for meeting PCI requirements with whichever gateway you happen to run.
- Every store gets free SSL
- Isolated, hardened accounts
- Malware scans behind a firewall
- Modern TLS end to end

FAQ
Store hosting questions, answered
How does ecommerce hosting differ from ordinary hosting?
Start from what a store has to do that a brochure site never does. Pages come out of the database on the fly. Carts and sessions resist blind caching. Inventory changes by the minute. And the encrypted checkout has to answer under pressure, not just on a quiet afternoon. Ecommerce hosting is ordinary web hosting rebuilt around exactly those demands. Here that means all-NVMe storage behind catalogue and cart pages, a caching layer clever enough to leave carts and live stock untouched, free SSL over the checkout, a 99.9% uptime target, and resources that climb alongside order volume. Isolation and hardening apply to every account, with a web application firewall in front, malware scanning running, and automated backups protecting customers and orders. WooCommerce, the most widely deployed store software on the web, sits underneath, so there is no per-sale transaction fee taking a bite out of what you sell.
Do these plans force me onto WooCommerce?
No, the plans are simply arranged around it, and for solid reasons. WooCommerce comes ready on WordPress because it is open source, extends in any direction you like, and skips the per-sale cut hosted store platforms usually take, which leaves the full margin on each order with you. From there the theme is yours to pick, the extensions yours to install, the payment gateway yours to choose. Want a different PHP store platform instead? Underneath sits ordinary cPanel with Softaculous and its 240-plus one-click installers, plus SSH, Git and Composer for deploying by hand. Up to 100 MySQL or MariaDB databases come with phpMyAdmin to manage them. Most owners stay with WooCommerce for the flexibility and the enormous community behind it, but nothing on the server ties you to a single platform.
What makes checkout here quicker than the average?
Speed at checkout comes down to two things. One is caching that understands what it is looking at: static and catalogue pages get served from cache, while carts, sessions, coupons and stock counts stay live and correct, so nobody ever lands on a stranger's cart or a stale price. The other is raw disk performance. Every store here sits on all-NVMe storage, a class above the SATA SSDs or spinning disks plenty of budget hosts still run, which is why product, cart and order lookups come back fast. Around that, LiteSpeed, HTTP/2 and current PHP 8.x builds keep request handling lean, and free SSL costs almost nothing in speed terms. Your account holds its own resources too, so a quiet Tuesday and your biggest sale day ought to feel about the same.
How do security and PCI compliance work out on these plans?
Start with PCI, because that responsibility splits. Most gateways, Stripe and PayPal among them, process card numbers on their own systems, which means raw card data never reaches your server at all and drops you into the lightest PCI band, usually a short self-assessment questionnaire. Everything below that is ours. Free auto-renewing SSL wraps the entire checkout in modern TLS, guarding card numbers and personal details in transit on every page rather than only the payment form. Accounts run hardened and isolated. A web application firewall strips malicious traffic out, malware scanning runs without pause, and network-level DDoS protection keeps the store selling while an attack is underway. Your remaining jobs are small: patch the platform and its plugins, use a strong admin password, choose a reputable gateway. Do that and customers can pay in full confidence.
What does the platform do once traffic really takes off?
Growth is the point, and nothing here fights it. Under everyday load, store-aware caching on all-NVMe storage lets a single plan carry far more than its headline specs would suggest, because most catalogue requests never get rebuilt at all. Push past that with a launch, a flash sale or the holiday rush and moving up a tier is a couple of clicks that bring extra CPU, RAM and storage. Nothing gets re-platformed, nothing migrates, nothing is rebuilt. Your catalogue, customers, orders and settings sit exactly where they were; only the resources beneath them change, and that change lands quickly. Redundant hardware in our London datacentre is built to absorb spikes, which keeps the checkout open on the days revenue actually depends on it. Expecting a surge? Scale up in advance, then drop back afterwards.
Can somebody here move my current store across so I do not have to?
Yes, our team does it, and it costs nothing. Once you have signed up, raise a ticket with the login details for your existing host and we take care of everything: WordPress and WooCommerce, the database, product images and media, plus every order and customer record you have built up. Most moves finish within roughly 24 hours, and nearly all the work happens on the new server before your live store gets touched, so checkout downtime is minimal or none at all. Where we can, the store is assembled on a staging URL first, letting you click around and place a test order to prove everything transferred cleanly before DNS changes hands. Satisfied? The domain points here and free SSL switches on by itself. Custom theme or an unusual extension in the mix? Note it in the ticket and we plan the migration around it.
Launch Checklist
Run through all of this before launch
Ten minutes with the list below prevents almost every first-day problem new stores run into.
- Switch your SSL certificate on and move the whole site over to HTTPS
- Swap in live gateway keys, then place a genuine test order
- Set up your tax rules, along with shipping zones and rates
- Publish clear shipping, refund and privacy pages
- Enable abandoned-cart and order confirmation emails
- Run the whole checkout through on a real phone, then on a desktop
- Have daily automatic backups running before launch
- Every product needs its own title, its images, a description
- Aim the domain here, then check it loads showing the padlock
- Submit your sitemap to the search engines so the store gets crawled

Browse Store PlansEvery extra second on a product page is a customer drifting toward a competitor. Stores need instant storage, an unbroken padlock and backups that run whether anyone remembers or not. Every account runs on NVMe storage with LiteSpeed ahead of it, in our London datacentre — monitored by the same engineers who handle your tickets.
Built for sellers processing payments online. Free SSL, a free transfer from your current host, daily backups and round-the-clock support all ride along in the price — no surprise add-ons at checkout.
Hosting that keeps orders flowing
NVMe storage keeps database queries snappy, LiteSpeed caches the catalogue pages, and OPcache serves compiled PHP without a pause. Free SSL secures the checkout, daily backups protect the orders, and the one-click installers stand up WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart or PrestaShop in under a minute.
Speed is engineered in, not bolted on with a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads instant, LiteSpeed responds over HTTP/2, and the server caches before your application lifts a finger.
The cost of hosting a store
Hosting's oldest move is a cheap first year and a quiet hike at renewal. HostingFast runs the opposite way: the number you join at is the number that renews, and anything promotional is flagged on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so a test run risks nothing but an afternoon.
Open on a plan from $2.42 a month and shift to a VPS at $13.52 once catalogue and traffic warrant it. Neither step forces a rebuild, and neither price drifts at renewal.
The engine behind an online store
Stores operate in our London datacentre behind edge DDoS filtering, on NVMe arrays with daily backups of files and database. When a payment gateway asks about encryption, the certificate already exists and already renews itself.
Support runs every hour of the day, staffed by the people who administer these servers, with a first reply targeted inside 2 hours — 1 hour when a site is down. No tier hands you off to a bot.
- Major store platforms install in one click
- Order data backed up daily, SSL free
- Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click
- SSL issued free and auto-renewed

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Which store platform makes sense for me here?
WooCommerce when the site already runs WordPress, OpenCart when you want light and quick, Magento when the catalogue is big and the budget agrees. Each installs in one click, and our desk gives you a straight answer on which fits the plan you are considering.
How long until everything is running?
The account provisions itself at checkout — minutes, not days. If an existing store needs bringing over, our migration team typically wraps up inside 24 hours and schedules the cutover so nothing goes offline.
Is the renewal rate different from the joining rate?
The plan renews at your joining price. If a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was shown beside it before you ordered — nothing surfaces later.
What if ecommerce hosting is not right for me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say the word within the month and the refund goes through — no exit interview, no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue with you.
