Short answer. Good WooCommerce hosting is fast at checkout, keeps WooCommerce and its plugins updated safely, backs up orders often, and gives you someone to call when payments stop. Price matters less than what happens on a bad day.
The checklist
- Speed on product and checkout pages, not just the homepage.
- Updates done carefully, with backups before and after.
- Backups frequent enough that no orders are lost.
- Support that understands WooCommerce, not just servers.
- A clear price that does not jump after the first year.
Beyond hosting
- Where do order questions and returns end up?
- Can trade customers get their own prices?
- Who helps when you want to add something new?
