Best hosting for ccommerce website? My shopify trial ends next week and I'm lost
I do leather work. Started an online shop six months ago. Still small. Used Shopify to get going because it was easy. But now I'm paying like $40 a month plus transaction fees and honestly I'm not making enough sales yet to justify it. My friend said I should just move to WordPress + WooCommerce on cheap shared hosting and save myself a ton of money.
I read about the recommended ones on the sidebar but I want to make sure I get the right one.
Budget: $10-15/month
Users: mostly US based
Site type: WordPress + WooCommerce
Traffic: 300-500 visitors/month currently, a couple thousand on sale days
VPS: no, I don't have Linux admin experience. Need managed or good support.
Sidebar hosts: yes, I looked. DreamHost and NixiHost both seemed possible but I wasn't sure if shared hosting is enough for WooCommerce.
I keep seeing people say shared hosting is fine but then others say it's too slow for ecommerce. What's the real answer here?
