Why choose Area IT online store hosting?
We combine powerful server infrastructure with tools that keep WooCommerce and other online stores running smoothly, even under heavy shopper traffic – it’s all already included in the price of hosting.
LiteSpeed and NVMe
NVMe SSD drives and LiteSpeed servers deliver up to 300% faster store loading compared with standard hosting, improving the shopper experience and SEO results.
Redis object caching
Redis object caching helps reduce repeated database queries. The benefit depends on your store’s configuration and how it’s integrated with your platform.
Daily backups
Automatic backups are created every 24 hours. Data can be restored from the available backup.
Free SSL certificate
An SSL certificate provides an encrypted HTTPS connection between your store and its visitors. It’s included at no extra cost for every domain hosted with Area IT.
Server protection
cPGuard and Monarx Security provide multi-layer protection against viruses, malware and cyberattacks, helping reduce security risks.
Free store migration
We’ll migrate your WooCommerce store – or another supported e-commerce platform – from your previous host free of charge.
Email on your store’s domain
Create the email accounts you need on your store’s domain, with forwarding, antivirus protection and a spam filter.
Round-the-clock technical support
Technical support is available around the clock, regardless of which hosting plan you choose.
