Managed WooCommerce Hosting
WooCommerce Hosting NZ
PrestoWP is managed hosting for New Zealand WooCommerce stores: NZ-owned, billed in NZ dollars with GST invoices, and supported from Auckland while your shop is actually trading.
Hosting That Understands A Shopping Cart
A store has moving parts a brochure site doesn’t. Here is what we do about that.
Store Tooling On Every Plan
The WooCommerce performance tooling is switched on from day one. You are not pushed onto a pricier tier the moment your site starts taking orders.
Fast Across New Zealand
Enterprise WP Engine hosting in the Sydney region plus a global CDN. Product images and category pages load quickly wherever your customers are.
Protection For A Site Taking Money
Security monitoring and malware scanning run on every plan. If anything malicious appears, removing it is part of your hosting, not a paid extra.
Order Emails That Arrive
Receipts, order confirmations and shipping notices are sent through Amazon SES, so they land in the inbox rather than the spam folder.
Two Things Most Hosts Cannot Give You
Both are WP Engine technology, switched on for every PrestoWP store rather than sold as an upgrade.
Caching That Works On A Shop
Ordinary page caching gives up on a store, because the cart and the account pages are different for every shopper. EverCache is built for WooCommerce specifically, so far more of your shop is served straight from cache instead of being rebuilt on every single request.
No More Cart Fragments
WooCommerce fires an uncached cart fragments request on almost every page load, and it is the usual reason a busy store slows to a crawl. Live Cart replaces that script, so your shop keeps serving when a lot of people are buying at the same time.
Everything Included, On Every Plan
No eCommerce upsell, no surprise extras. Each plan covers the full care of your store.
- Managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting on optimised cloud servers
- EverCache® for WooCommerce, switched on by default
- Live Cart for WooCommerce instead of the cart fragments script
- Theme, plugin and WooCommerce updates handled for you
- Daily backups with easy restore points, orders included
- Security monitoring, malware scanning and removal
- Free SSL certificate and CDN setup
- Unlimited bandwidth
- Reliable order and receipt email via Amazon SES
- Free migration from your current host
Free Store Migration, Handled For You
Send us your current hosting details through our secure migration form and we move the whole store across: products, orders, customers and coupons. Typically within 24 to 48 hours, with no downtime and nothing for you to reconfigure. Free on every plan.
Your store keeps trading. The move happens with no downtime, so orders keep flowing while the switch goes through. And because PrestoWP is owned and operated from Auckland, the people looking after your shop work the same hours you do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you host my WooCommerce store?
Yes. Every PrestoWP plan runs WooCommerce, and WP Engine’s eCommerce performance pack is included rather than sold as an add-on. If you are still comparing hosts, here is what to look for in WooCommerce hosting.
What makes this faster than ordinary WordPress hosting?
Two things in particular. EverCache® for WooCommerce caches a store properly, where a general-purpose cache has to skip most of it. And Live Cart replaces WooCommerce’s cart fragments script, which is the single most common cause of a slow shop under load. Both are on by default on every plan.
Will my products, orders and customers come across?
Yes. A migration moves the full database, so products, orders, customers and coupons all arrive intact. Nothing is left behind on the old host.
Do order confirmation emails keep working?
Yes. Transactional email is sent through Amazon SES, which we set up for you during onboarding. Receipts and shipping notifications are the emails you least want going missing.
Which plan does my store need?
It depends on traffic rather than how many products you list. The pricing page sets out what each plan covers, and if you are not sure, tell us your monthly visits and we will point you at the right one.
Is PrestoWP a New Zealand company?
Yes. PrestoWP is owned and operated from Auckland, New Zealand, with all support handled locally in NZ business hours.
