Woocommerce and WordPress are free open source software. Although this can save considerable costs, the opening of new stores still involves some costs in the price of Woocommerce.

WooCommerce setting cost: hosting and domain name costs
Woocommerce is a plug -in, so you need a WordPress website that can use plugins. The first thing you need to do is to choose a host for your store and buy a plan.
This is actually easy. WooocomErger and WordPress are recommended Siteground , Bluehost Pressable and other Host . These hosts are very suitable for starting, but if you are migrating e -commerce stores, or you will run a large site, please cooperate with hosts with a specific Woocommerce professional knowledge. WordPress.com also provides a business plan allowing the website to upload plug -ins.
When selecting the host, please consider the following points:
- ] How many sites do you have on your server? If you use a shared trustees, resources will be distributed between all other websites on the same server.
- Too many websites will slow down, especially during peak hours. Is there a good customer service? If you encounter a problem, is there a customer service representative that helps to help 24/7?
- Consider the available support method (telephone, realTime chat, forums, etc.) and whether they charge additional support fees. What are the security functions?
- Find automatic backup, malware protection and email spam filters. What is the normal operation time of the server? The normal operation time is the percentage of the server (and your website!) Started and run.
- You want to be as high as possible. What is the speed of the host? The fast site starts with your host.
- Read customer comment to understand their experience and pay close attention to the distribution of SSD servers and advanced resources (such as RAM and CPU). Can you easily expand?
With the growth of your website, make sure you can upgrade your hosting plan without migration.
