What is e-commerce hosting?
E-commerce hosting is the server account that runs a self-installed online store — catalogue, cart, checkout and order database — and has to stay fast and secure at the moment a customer pays. A brochure site can be slow for a second and lose nothing; a store that stalls at checkout loses the order.
WebJi® hosts store software you install yourself, such as WooCommerce, Magento or OpenCart, on Linux accounts with cPanel, LiteSpeed and NVMe storage. A fully hosted cart, where the vendor runs the software for you, is a different product and not sold here.
| Requirement | Why it matters for a store |
|---|---|
| SSL on every page | Browsers flag checkout and login forms without HTTPS |
| Database performance | Each cart, order and stock update is a write to MySQL |
| Restorable backups | A broken plugin update can stop orders until a copy is restored |
| Staging copy | Theme and plugin changes are tested before customers see them |
| Headroom for sales | A festival evening can bring many times a normal day’s visitors |
Which store platforms can you host with WebJi®?
WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop and CS-Cart run on Linux with cPanel; Magento needs a larger quoted account; nopCommerce runs on Windows and is quoted separately. Each platform has its own page with requirements and setup notes.
| Platform | Stack | Starting account | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce | WordPress, PHP, MySQL | Shared Linux for a small catalogue | WooCommerce hosting |
| Magento | PHP, MySQL, search engine service | Quoted with more CPU and memory | Magento hosting |
| OpenCart | PHP, MySQL | Shared Linux with cPanel | OpenCart hosting |
| PrestaShop | PHP, MySQL | Shared Linux with cPanel | PrestaShop hosting |
| CS-Cart | PHP, MySQL | Shared Linux with cPanel | CS-Cart hosting |
| nopCommerce | ASP.NET, MS SQL | Windows, quoted separately | nopCommerce hosting |
Undecided between platforms? Compare Magento vs WooCommerce or WooCommerce vs Shopify. Extensions and paid themes are bought from their vendors, not from WebJi®.
How do you size hosting for an online store?
Size the account from three numbers: platform, product count and the busiest day you have already had — not order count alone. Shared hosting fits a small catalogue with steady orders; a cloud server or VPS fits Magento, large photo catalogues and sale days.
| Store shape | Account to ask for | Published starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Small WooCommerce or OpenCart catalogue, steady orders | Shared Linux hosting with cPanel | From ₹299 a month |
| Growing catalogue, one store, known load | VPS with its own RAM | From ₹499 a month |
| Magento, large photo catalogue or festival sales | Cloud server sized for the peak | Cloud Entry ₹5,900 a month |
These are the published entry prices of each account type. The store quote can differ once platform, catalogue size and extras such as CDN are known.
Ask for a bigger account before a Diwali or end-of-season sale, not during it. The flash-sale scaling case study shows how that planning works.
What every WebJi® e-commerce hosting account includes
Each store account comes with free SSL, cPanel, LiteSpeed web server, NVMe storage, scheduled JetBackup copies and an INR invoice showing 18% GST. CDN is added only when the quote calls for it, for example for heavy product photos or sale traffic.
- Free SSL: HTTPS on the domain so checkout is not flagged as insecure.
- cPanel on Linux: files, databases and mailboxes such as orders@yourstore.in on one account.
- LiteSpeed and NVMe: a faster web server and storage for database-heavy carts.
- JetBackup: scheduled copies you can restore if an update breaks the store.
- Staging: a private copy to test plugin and theme changes first.
Card data is best kept off your server altogether: an Indian gateway such as Razorpay handles the payment on its own page, which narrows what your store must protect. Setup notes are in payment gateways in India and GST invoices in WooCommerce.
How to update a live store without breaking checkout
Test every plugin, theme or platform update on the staging copy with a sandbox test order before pushing it live, and keep a backup from just before the push.
- Copy: refresh the staging site from the live store.
- Update: apply the plugin, theme or core update on staging.
- Test order: place an order on the gateway’s sandbox mode and check the confirmation email.
- Push: apply the change to the live store during a quiet hour.
- Roll back if needed: restore the JetBackup copy from before the push and write to support@webji.services.
Moving an existing store to WebJi®
A store migration is a scheduled job: quote, written approval, copy, test order on the new account, then the domain is pointed over. Free migration is subject to terms and approval; it is not instant or automatic.
Email support@webji.services with the platform, approximate product count and whether your current host provides cPanel access or a backup file. Do not change DNS until the test order on the new account succeeds. Details are on free website migration, and a new build is handled by e-commerce website development, billed separately from hosting.
How to get an e-commerce hosting quote
Open a quote ticket or email support@webji.services with your platform, product count and busiest day; the desk replies with an INR figure before you pay. Email support runs 24/7 in Hindi and English with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
| Sample configuration | Specs | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commerce tier | Sized for catalogue size and sale traffic, with SSL. CDN when the quote adds it. | WooCommerce, Magento and other self-hosted stores | Get Custom Quote → |
The row is a sample scope, not a checkout price. 18% GST is added on the invoice.

Frequently asked questions
Can a WooCommerce store run on shared hosting?
Yes, while the catalogue is small and orders are steady. Other accounts share the server’s CPU, so if checkout slows or a big sale is planned, ask for a VPS or cloud quote before the sale rather than after the cart starts failing.
Do I need PCI DSS compliance to host my store?
If customers pay on the gateway’s own hosted page, card numbers never reach your server, which keeps your compliance burden small. Storing card data yourself is a different matter and is not recommended for small stores.
Why does Magento need more than a basic plan?
Magento is a heavier application with more memory use per request and extra services such as a search engine. It is quoted with more CPU and RAM than a blog plan; the Magento hosting page lists the requirements.
Can I host the store and its order email on one account?
Yes. cPanel accounts include mailboxes on your domain for addresses such as orders@ or support@. Busy stores sending many transactional emails may prefer a dedicated business email service for better deliverability.
What do I send to get a store hosting quote?
The platform and version, approximate product count, monthly visitors if known, the busiest day you have had, and whether you need migration. With those details the desk can size the account and send an INR figure.
