Our new WordPress Ecommerce Hosting plan comes with a pre-installed online store powered by WooCommerce, plus a variety of premium extensions including Advanced Notifications, Subscriptions, WooCommerce Brands and more.
GoDaddy and WooCommerce have teamed up to make building an online store with WordPress easier than ever.
Why a WordPress Ecommerce Hosting plan?
Building a successful online store can be a daunting task. You need to choose the right hosting plan, the right website builder tool, and the right eCommerce platform.
It’s complicated and time-consuming, not only for aspiring entrepreneurs, but even for web designers and developers.
Our new WordPress Ecommerce Hosting plan dramatically simplifies the process. We believe it’s the easiest way to build a powerful and highly-customized online store.
Here’s how it works.
We started with WordPress
WordPress is the world’s most popular website builder. It’s the top content management system (CMS) powering over a third of all websites worldwide. For comparison, the next largest CMS powers under 3%.
WordPress dominates, and for good reason. It’s open-source software built by tens of thousands of developers around the world. That focus and community effort has resulted in the most flexible, feature-rich website platform available.
As a hosting provider that powers over 5 million WordPress sites around the globe, we see WordPress used every day by tech-savvy everyday entrepreneurs alongside web designers and developers.
We partnered with WooCommerce
WooCommerce is the #1 eCommerce solution for WordPress. It has unmatched functionality and usage, powering millions of online stores around the globe.
On October 22, 2019, GoDaddy and Automattic (the parent company of WooCommerce) announced that we joined forces in a formal partnership.
Together, we’re delivering an exciting new hosting plan that makes building a highly-customized online store easier than ever.
Now it’s easier to launch & manage an online store
Start customizing in 70% fewer steps
It takes 4 steps to set up a typical WordPress Ecommerce online store:
- Choose a hosting plan
- Install WordPress
- Install WooCommerce
- Install WooCommerce extensions (add-ons that enhance the functionality of your online store, such as the ability to auto-populate shipping rates into your cart)
We’ve combined these 4 steps into 1. It not only makes the process easier, but also lets you begin editing in 70% fewer steps than leading competitors.
Guided to success
The GoDaddy WordPress Hosting Ecommerce plan includes an “Action Center” that helps guide you to success. It will prompt you to complete key tasks as you build your site and set setup your online presence. Some of these tasks include activating your custom domain, optimizing SEO, utilizing Google marketing credits, or setting up a business email address.
Free SSL, configured and automatically maintained
The Ecommerce plan includes an SSL certificate that is 100% hassle-free. Once you assign a custom domain to your site, the SSL certificate will automatically deploy and from there the maintenance of the certification is 100% automated.
WordPress updates done for you
Ensuring that your site uses the latest version of WordPress helps keep your site secure and running its fastest.
As part of the GoDaddy WordPress Hosting experience, we will automatically complete all WordPress software updates. No work is required by you.
