<\/figure>\r\nChoosing the \u2018right\u2019 hosting provider is a tough nut to crack for any website, let alone if it is for an e-commerce site. Why? Because having an online store that is credible, reliable, and loads fast have everything to do with your host.\r\n\r\nSeveral website owners leap straight into the first cheap e-commerce hosting provider they find. By the time they realize it might be a wrong call, they deal with the stress of a full website migration.\r\n\r\nAs such, today, we are discussing the importance of finding the right hosts, aspects to consider when looking for one, and our top picks for the best e-commerce hosting providers. Ready? Let\u2019s go.\r\n\r\nHere are the best eCommerce Hosting Companies of 2021 (in no particular order):<\/strong>\r\n

1. Bluehost<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWith more than 2 million hosted websites, Bluehost is one of the top web hosting providers across continents. Also, it is majorly built on open source and has been endorsed by WordPress for a decade straight. A lesser-known fact about Bluehost is that it is also the recommended hosting provider for WooCommerce – the official WordPress e-commerce extension.\r\nBluehost offers standard shared hosting from US$2.75 monthly (on a three-year contract), with WordPress Pro plans to begin at US$17.95 a month.\r\n\r\nFor the money, you get an automated setup for WordPress, not to mention other prevalent apps through a Mojo Marketplace-driven system. Also, there is a cPanel-driven space to let expert users modify things.\r\n\r\nFurther, Bluehost offers a Weebly-based website builder which enables you to build a website of up to six pages, with no extras such as site templates. But still, it\u2019s better than nothing, and more functionality is in the pipeline \u2013 plus you get this builder with the basic account.\r\n\r\nThe support team is available 24\/7\/365 through all the general channels, all of which you can reach out in just a couple of clicks.\r\n\r\nOn the flip side, you will experience a price hike when it comes to renewing your package. Even though Bluehost is cheaper in the early stage, most of the add-ons and account upgrades can be pretty pricey. If you want to do things such as security upgrades, server upgrades, and so on, stay prepared to pay a much higher monthly charge.\r\n

2. MyResellerHome<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n
\"MyResellerHome\"<\/a>
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\nWhen MyResellerHome<\/a> was established in 2006, it aimed to offer customers easy-to-use, cheap eCommerce website hosting packages. Since its inception, it has come a long way such that now it hosts thousands of domains.\r\n\r\nMyResellerHome provides Windows and Linux shared hosting<\/a>, website hosting, dedicated server hosting, VPS, and SSL certificates. Both the Linux and Windows shared hosting packages are available at four levels – Standard, Personal, Premier, and Plus.\r\n\r\nThe Windows shared hosting<\/a> plans are packed with the Windows 2012 R2, Plesk control panel, and support for ASP.NET.\r\n\r\nThe Linux hosting plans are packed with the Softaculous installer that helps you install various prominent applications such as Joomla, WordPress hosting<\/a>, and Mambo. On the other hand, the RVsitebuilder website creator offers over 500 templates to develop your e-commerce website hosting<\/a> without any coding expertise.\r\n\r\nMyResellerHome\u2019s shared hosting plans are fairly priced. You can pay for packages with different currencies on annual, biennial, and semi-annual (for higher plans only), payment cycles.\r\n\r\nYou get a free lifetime domain with the Premier and Plus packages on biennial and annual payment cycles, and the 30-day money-back assurance should cheer you up about making such a bold commitment. The only caveat is that you cannot leverage this \u201cget out\u201d if you trade on the free account migration.\r\n\r\nThe comprehensive knowledge base is pretty beneficial. That said, you can reach out to the 24\/7\/365 customer support team via all mediums.\r\n

3. SiteGround<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWhile many web hosting providers walk the extra mile to highlight e-commerce abilities, others scarcely mention them at all. SiteGround sets a great precedent \u2013 there is no big “build your web store here” header, and yet when you see the details, even its most standard shared hosting package has immense e-commerce power.\r\n\r\nA Weebly-based website creator is available to build your store, a case in point. HTTP\/2-driven servers and Cloudflare CDN integration improve speeds, decreasing the chance that users will leave the website. And when it is time to purchase, free SSL certificates will assure that the transaction details of your customers are secure.\r\n\r\nSiteGround packages contain the Softaculous installer, which allows rapid setup of big-league e-commerce tools and shopping carts such as WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Magento.\r\n\r\nThe company offers 99.996% uptime, good news when you are operating something as crucial as an e-commerce store. Even if you do face any trouble, round-the-clock support and automatic regular backups should help you recover the situation fast.\r\n\r\nHowever, SiteGround comes with some cons. For instance, its shared hosting options are confined so you will only get a specific amount of SSD space for the packages you have purchased. If you need more resources, you need to upgrade to the next level.\r\n\r\nWhile you might enjoy a 53% discount as a new user, you will have to cough up the full cost to renew your contract, which certainly annoys many people.\r\n

4. Liquid Web<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAnother e-commerce hosting provider with an impeccable online reputation, Liquid Web scores well at all levels. It helps you handle everything, so you do not need to take care of any technicalities of maintaining and optimizing your server thus offering you peace of mind. Unlike conventional hosts, it only provides managed hosting services for the cloud, dedicated servers, and VPS.\r\n\r\nFor the WordPress fans, Liquid Web has another surprise – managed WooCommerce plans. You will get a more tailored set of features such as preinstalled plug-ins, and drop-shipping options.\r\n\r\nWant Security? Liquid Web is there at your rescue. The company provides free SSLs, firewalls, virtual private networks (VPN), and malware scanning and removal.\r\n\r\nSome features come packed with certain plans, while you will have to buy others as add-ons. Further, Liquid Web offers free nightly backups, which will protect your e-commerce site from massive damages.\r\n\r\nHowever, you need to have deep pockets to enjoy this exemplary, business-level service. Further, Liquid Web lacks a shared hosting tier, which is a favorite among small businesses and start-ups.\r\n

5. iPage<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nGetting your first e-commerce store ready and running is usually an expensive affair. Several web hosting providers provide little to no e-commerce functionality in their basic packages, and you will often have to cough up for a high-grade specialist package before you can do anything important.\r\n\r\niPage is a bare exception where even the most basic hosting package offers you more than enough to kick off. A template-based site builder and free online store make it simple to design your store, a case in point.\r\n\r\niPage fits well with all prominent vendors, offering you access to n number of payment methods such as Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and so on. The company provides a free domain for the initial year, and 24\/7 support (toll-free in the UK and the US) to address any urgent issues that might show up.\r\n\r\niPage scores comparatively well concerning uptime and speed tests. The good performance, coupled with the user-friendly services, makes it the best eCommerce hosting for small businesses and start-ups.\r\n\r\nThere are some limits, too. iPage does not provide any free site migrations. Rather, it will only move a site for a US$150 one-time cost. That\u2019s relatively on the high end. Moreover, iPage does not use cPanel as a dashboard of sorts, rather it goes with an alternative called vDeck, which is not quite as efficient as cPanel.\r\n

6. GreenGeeks<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nGreenGeeks has been in action for just over a decade and is one of the most eco-friendly hosts out there. The company returns more than thrice of its utilized resources in the form of renewable energy thus helping to curb the carbon footprint.\r\n\r\nGreenGeeks provides three shared packages, although it recommends the Premium one for e-commerce hosting. It is an all-unlimited fix with no compromise on bandwidth, SSD space, or the number of hosted sites.\r\n\r\nHowever, even though you pick the Pro or Lite plans, you can still avail some distinct advantages at your disposal.\r\n\r\nPowerCacher is a patented product, thanks to GreenGeeks. The caching tool blends leading-edge technologies such as LSCache to reach optimum content delivery speeds. The platform is available on all plans.\r\n\r\nWhile the standard SSL offers protection to a single domain name, GreenGreeks adds another level of protection with its wildcard SSL, which enables you to encrypt the connection over all the associated sub-domains. Further, the chat operators and ticketing support are efficient to ward off most of your issues.\r\n\r\nWhile GreenGreeks offer pretty reasonable prices on its e-commerce hosting plans, the renewals are a bit pricey, upping the costs to US$9.95 a month for the same basic plan.\r\n

7. FastComet<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAs an e-commerce business, you might have some specific needs that set you apart from many other website operators. SSD storage ensures break-neck load speeds. SSL certificates inspire confidence and trust in customers in the online store. Cutting-edge security measures safeguard your store from intrusions.\r\n\r\nFastComet ticks all these boxes while throwing a bundle of extra goodies in the kit – free domain, Cloudflare CDN, and a distinct real-time tracking platform. Talking about patented solutions, FastComet has more than one trick in its belt.\r\n\r\nThe security tool contains numerous protection tiers over your e-commerce website. On a server level, you have advanced DDoS protection, a web application firewall (WAF), and malware scanning and removal. Your account is under sage hands too. You can leverage SSL certificates, regular backups, and advanced brute force shielding.\r\n\r\nThe RocketBooster tool offers instant speed optimizations for WordPress websites, courtesy FastComet\u2019s ultrafast LiteSpeed server technology. The company blends it with Varnish and SSD-only hard drives for optimized dynamic and static content caching.\r\n\r\nThe support team will provide genuine replies and take their time to put light on some additional queries you might have.\r\n\r\nFastComet\u2019s basic deal is pretty reasonable, beginning at US$3.95 a month. However, once the initial signup duration ends, you will face 3X higher costs. Case in point, the cheapest FastCloud Plan will cost you US$9.95 rather than the initial $3.95 per month.\r\n

8. DreamHost<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nEnsuring a smooth and impeccable online presence has been DreamHost\u2019s ultimate aim, and the hosting provider has been chasing it vigorously. More than 750,000 WordPress installations, 400,000+ customers, and over 1.5 million websites overall \u2013 the ever-growing client base speak loads about its quality of services.\r\n\r\nBesides the basic web hosting plans, DreamHost provides a couple of patented tools:<\/strong>\r\n
