WooCommerce Requirements vs ShoHost CH Plans
What WooCommerce's server recommendations page asks for (checked 14 Nov 2026), and what every CH plan gives you
| Item | WooCommerce recommends | On ShoHost CH plans |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.9 or newer | Install the current WordPress release from WP Toolkit or Softaculous in cPanel |
| PHP | 8.3 or newer recommended (still works on 7.4+) | PHP 7.0 to 8.5, chosen per site in cPanel, so you can pick 8.3 or newer |
| Database | MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+ | MariaDB 11.8 with phpMyAdmin 5.2.3 |
| HTTPS | Required | Free SSL on every domain on every plan |
| Web server | Apache or Nginx recommended; any server with PHP and MySQL works | LiteSpeed, which reads the same .htaccess rules as Apache |
| PHP memory limit | 256 MB or more | Check WooCommerce → Status after you install; ask support if your store needs a different limit |
Who WooCommerce Hosting Is For
CH plans suit small and medium online stores in India that want their own website instead of a marketplace listing.
Small shops and D2C brands
Sell your own products on your own domain, keep your customer list and set your own prices and offers.
Sellers moving off social media
Turn an Instagram or WhatsApp catalogue into a proper store with a cart, checkout and order emails.
Developers and freelancers
Build and hand over WooCommerce stores for clients, each on its own domain and database.
Agencies
Run several client shops on CH-3, the only unlimited plan. To sell hosting under your own brand, see reseller hosting.
Why an Online Store Needs More Than a Blog
A WooCommerce store works the server harder than a WordPress blog with the same number of visitors.
On a blog, almost every visitor sees the same page, so a page cache can serve it again and again. A store is different: the cart, checkout and My Account pages change for every shopper, so they have to be built fresh each time, with PHP and database work behind every add-to-cart and every order.
That is why the database and PHP version matter more for a store. ShoHost plans run MariaDB 11.8 on the same server as your site, so order and stock queries stay on the server, and you can set PHP 8.3 or newer per site, as WooCommerce recommends.
Product and category pages can still be cached. A page cache such as the LiteSpeed Cache plugin on our LiteSpeed web server can cache those pages and leave cart and checkout alone. Keep plugins to the ones you use, and compress product images before you upload them, so pages stay light on mobile data.
How to Set Up WooCommerce on ShoHost
The usual steps for a new store on a CH plan.
1. Pick a plan and domain
Choose CH-1, CH-2 or CH-3 and point your domain to the account. Free SSL is issued for the domain.
2. Install WordPress
Use WP Toolkit or Softaculous in cPanel to install WordPress in a few clicks.
3. Set the PHP version
Choose PHP 8.3 or newer for the site in cPanel, as WooCommerce recommends.
4. Add WooCommerce
Install the free WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress dashboard and run its setup wizard for currency (₹ INR), shipping and taxes.
5. Connect payments
Add the WooCommerce plugin from your payment gateway to accept UPI, cards or net banking at checkout.
6. Set up order emails
Create an address like orders@yourshop.in in cPanel and set it as the sender in WooCommerce → Settings → Emails.

Cheap WooCommerce Hosting: Compare CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3
Every plan runs WooCommerce; the difference is how many stores, how much space and how many mailboxes.
| Feature | CH-1 | CH-2 | CH-3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Websites (stores) | 1 | 3 | Unlimited |
| NVMe storage | 5 GB | 25 GB | Unlimited |
| Bandwidth | 2 TB | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| MySQL / MariaDB databases | 5 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Email accounts for orders | 5 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Free SSL for checkout | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Price (monthly) | ₹35.40 | ₹94.40 | ₹352.82 |
| Best for | A first store with a small catalogue | A growing store plus a blog or a second brand | Several stores, or an agency building shops for clients |
What Fits Shared Hosting, and What Needs a Server
Most small and medium stores run well on a CH plan. Here is where the line usually falls.
Fits a CH plan
A store with a catalogue of a few hundred products, steady daily orders and normal traffic, plus a blog and the usual payment and shipping plugins.
Plan ahead
Big sale days, festive offers or ad campaigns that bring many shoppers to checkout at the same time. Talk to us before the sale, not on the day.
Needs a server
Thousands of products with heavy filters, many checkouts every minute, or constant stock syncs with an ERP or marketplace. Look at a dedicated server for that.
Not sure?
Send us your product count, monthly orders and plugins, and we will tell you which plan fits before you pay.
Hosting Features Included With Every Plan
These features are included with all of our hosting plans.
CloudLinux Security
cPanel hosting runs with CloudLinux tenant isolation and malware scanning on supported servers.
Scalability
Start with what you need and move to more powerful options as your website grows.
1-Click Installer
No need to dig into a bunch of documentation. Simply install web apps like WordPress, Joomla!.
99% Uptime Guarantee
The availability of your website is our top priority. We stand by that fact with our uptime guarantee.
Nonvolatile Memory Express Solid State Drives (NVME SSD)
With NVME SSDs, your website, caching, and database queries are faster by our calculations.
WhatsApp and email support
Message us on WhatsApp at +91 94880 91432 or email support@shohost.com, 9 AM to 12 midnight IST.
Security and Backups for Your Store
Protection that comes with every CH plan, at no extra cost.
Daily backups
Kept for 3 days, plus 1 weekly copy in Google Drive, covering your files and the database with your orders and products.
Imunify360
Malware scanning and a firewall on shared hosting accounts.
cPanel 2FA
Two-factor authentication for your cPanel login. Turn on two-factor login for WordPress admins too.
Payment details stay with the gateway
Most Indian payment gateways take card and UPI details on their own secure page, so your store does not keep them.
WooCommerce Hosting in India, from Our Erode Data Centre
Your store and its database are hosted on NVMe SSD storage in our own data centre in Erode, so shoppers in India are served from India.
Pay for hosting in rupees, set your store currency to ₹ INR in WooCommerce, and get support in Indian hours from 9 AM to 12 midnight IST. Keep your store, order emails and database with one provider on one cPanel account.
WooCommerce Hosting vs Other ShoHost Options
Pick the product that fits the job.
| Option | Good for |
|---|---|
| WooCommerce hosting (CH plans) | Online stores on WordPress, with free SSL for checkout and order email, from ₹35.40/mo |

| MySQL hosting | The MariaDB 11.8 database side of the same plans |

WooCommerce Hosting FAQs
Straight answers about WooCommerce hosting plans, billing, and support. Still have questions? Contact us
Do you offer WooCommerce hosting in India?
Yes. Every ShoHost cPanel hosting plan can run a WooCommerce store, from ₹35.40 a month, with PHP up to 8.5, MariaDB 11.8, LiteSpeed, free SSL for checkout and daily backups, hosted in our own data centre in Erode.
Is WooCommerce hosting different from your WordPress hosting?
It runs on the same CH plans. WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin, so the hosting is the same; this page covers what an online store needs on top of a normal WordPress site, such as checkout over HTTPS, order emails and room for product images. For blogs and business sites, see our WordPress hosting page.
Which plan should I choose for a WooCommerce store?
CH-1 (₹35.40 a month) suits a first store with a small catalogue on one domain. CH-2 (₹94.40) is the usual choice for a small shop, with 25 GB storage, unlimited email accounts and room for a blog or second brand. CH-3 (₹352.82) is the only unlimited plan, for several stores or an agency.
Does it meet WooCommerce's server requirements?
Yes for the main items WooCommerce lists: you can choose PHP 8.3 or newer per site, the database is MariaDB 11.8 (WooCommerce asks for MariaDB 10.6 or newer), and free SSL gives HTTPS on every domain. After installing, open WooCommerce → Status to see the full report for your site.
Is WooCommerce pre-installed?
No. You install WordPress from WP Toolkit or Softaculous in cPanel in a few clicks, then add the free WooCommerce plugin and run its setup wizard. If you prefer, send us a message and we will help you set it up.
Can my store accept UPI and card payments?
Yes, through a payment gateway. Most Indian payment gateways publish a WooCommerce plugin that adds UPI, cards and net banking to your checkout. The gateway processes the payment; ShoHost hosts the store and gives it free SSL.
Are cart and checkout pages cached?
They should not be. Cart, checkout and My Account pages change for every shopper, so they must stay dynamic. A page cache such as the LiteSpeed Cache plugin can cache product and category pages and leave cart and checkout alone.
How many products can I sell?
No plan sets a product limit. The practical limits are storage for product images (5 GB on CH-1, 25 GB on CH-2, unlimited on CH-3) and how busy the store gets. A large catalogue with heavy traffic is better on a dedicated server.
Can I send order emails from my own domain?
Yes. Create an address such as orders@yourshop.in in cPanel and set it as the sender in WooCommerce → Settings → Emails. CH-1 includes 5 email accounts; CH-2 and CH-3 include unlimited accounts.
Are my store and orders backed up?
Yes. Daily backups are kept for 3 days, plus 1 weekly copy in Google Drive, and they include your files and your MariaDB database with orders and products. Take your own export before large plugin or theme updates as well.
Will you move my existing WooCommerce store for free?
Free migration is available within your plan's limits. Send your current hosting details to support@shohost.com or WhatsApp +91 94880 91432, and we move the store files and database to your new plan.
Is there a refund if the hosting does not suit my store?
Yes. Hosting plans have a 7-day money-back guarantee. It covers hosting only; paid themes, plugins and third-party licences are not part of it.
How do I get help with my WooCommerce store?
