WooCommerce Hosting UK
Your store runs in its own container with its own database, so another shop's busy day never slows your checkout. One store on Solo is £29/month, fixed, and we take nothing from your sales.
Hosted in the UK, on servers we own and run ourselves.
Pricing
One store fits Solo. Several sites fit Business.
One fixed price in GBP. The price you sign up at is the price you renew at, and a busy sales month never changes the bill.
One store
Solo
or £23.17/mo billed annually
4 GB of memory, 50 GB of storage and its own dedicated MySQL database. Site cloning included.
Starting small? Starter (£12/month) runs WooCommerce too, without site cloning. Need a live standby copy of your database on a second machine? Solo HA (£99/month) includes one with automatic failover. Save 20% with annual billing, 30-day money-back on every paid plan. See the full comparison.
Built for stores
Your checkout never waits behind another shop
Basket and checkout pages are built fresh for every shopper, so they need room of their own. Here is what every store gets.
Its own container
Your store has its own memory and a set share of processor time. Other customers’ traffic cannot use them.
Orders in their own database
Orders, customers and stock sit in a database used by your store alone. You can restore the database on its own if you ever need to.
Test changes on a copy
Clone the store, try the plugin update or new theme, run through checkout, then make the change on live. On every paid plan except Starter.
Bots kept off your store
ScaleShield checks traffic in front of your store and challenges suspicious bots before they reach it, so your server’s time goes to shoppers.
A cache for busy catalogues
Add a managed Redis database (from £6 a month) and connect a cache plugin. Repeated product lookups then come from memory instead of the database.
Order emails from your domain
Mailboxes on our own mail service. When your DNS is with us, we add the records that help order emails land in the inbox.
Product and content pages can also be served from G7Cloud Cache in front of your store. Basket, checkout and account pages are never cached, so every shopper sees their own basket.
Your customers' data
Your store and its orders are hosted in the UK
- Your site, its database, your email and DNS run on our own servers in a UK data centre.
- Nightly backups are kept on our UK servers too.
- A monthly disaster-recovery copy of those backups is stored with Cloudflare in the EU, so we can rebuild even if the UK data centre were lost.
- Support comes from the UK team who build and run the platform.
The other route
Rather skip WordPress? The AI can build your shop.
Describe your shop and the AI Website Builder builds it, with its own database and an admin panel you log into. Included from Business (£24/month) and on the Solo plans.
- Product variants, stock, collections and discount codes
- Orders and customers managed in your admin panel
- Stripe checkout on your own Stripe keys, so payments go straight to you

WooCommerce hosting FAQ
Which plan should I pick for a WooCommerce store?
For one store, Solo at £29/month: 4 GB of memory, 50 GB of storage, its own dedicated MySQL database and site cloning. Running the store beside other sites? Business at £24/month hosts up to 3 sites with 1 GB of memory each. A small store can start on Starter at £12/month, which runs WooCommerce but has no site cloning.
Do you charge transaction fees?
No. Your store takes payments through your own payment provider (Stripe, PayPal or any WooCommerce gateway), under your own account. You pay that provider its card fees and nothing to us. Our charge is the fixed monthly plan price.
How safe is my order data?
Your store has its own database: orders, customers and stock are never kept alongside another customer’s tables. We take a restore point of every site each night, and you can restore the whole store, only its files or only its database from the dashboard.
How do I make changes without breaking a live store?
Clone it. One click makes a working copy of your store (files and database) where you can test a WooCommerce update, a new payment plugin or a redesign, and run through checkout before you touch the live store. Site cloning is on every paid plan except Starter.
How does this compare with Shopify?
Shopify Basic is around £25/month, with transaction fees on top unless you use Shopify Payments. WooCommerce on G7Cloud is a fixed £29/month on Solo, with no transaction fees from us, and the code, the data and the customer list are yours.
Can you move my store for you?
Yes. Ask from your dashboard and our team plans the move with you, copies the store, and checks it with you before anything switches. Moves are free on every paid plan. If you would rather do it yourself, the dashboard has a tool that copies a WordPress site across.
