WooCommerce turns WordPress into a full store, but it's heavy: every cart and checkout hit runs database queries that can't be cached like a normal page. If you sell in Columbus, United States, your hosting has to handle that without choking.
What WooCommerce really needs
- Real SSD and solid CPU to process checkout at peak hours
- Enough RAM for catalogs with many products and images
- Smart caching (LiteSpeed) that speeds things up without breaking the cart
- Free SSL, mandatory to accept payments online
BanaHosting covers these points and adds daily backups so you never lose orders.
Getting paid in United States
With SSL active you integrate the gateways your customers in Columbus, United States use and accept credit card or PayPal. You price your store in US dollars for hosting, and the annual plan keeps costs predictable. A fast store sells more, which is why it's what we use and recommend.
