When starting to build a ecommerce website, in addition to choosing a suitable domain name, the next important thing is choosing a web hosting package with the appropriate configuration to get started. Unlike other types of pure content websites such as news/blogs/introductions, ecommerce websites require different hosting configurations due to their high resource usage nature.
In this article, AZDIGI will analyze the criteria and suitable hosting configuration for ecommerce websites depending on the project’s budget.
What criteria are needed for hosting a ecommerce website?
In a ecommerce website (most commonly websites using WordPress with WooCommerce support), basic features will include:
- Cart
- Affiliate
- Add product to favorites
- Rate, comment
- Filter products by characteristics
- Filter products by price
- …
Unfortunately, the above features often use a lot of resources because they need to make many queries to the database or cannot be applied with caching technology, so the ecommerce website will use more resources than regular websites.
To meet that processing need, hosting needs to meet criteria such as:
- Use powerful CPU.
- High-end servers for long-term stable performance.
- Hard drive with high read and write speed, it is best to choose NVMe hard drive.
- Introducing high Disk I/O per package because frequently querying the database will require high hard drive I/O, it also helps improve image read and write speed if your website has a lot of images.
- Use LiteSpeed Webserver.
- Stable infrastructure, high committed uptime (from 99.9%).
Along with technical criteria, choosing suppliers with good quality service support that have been confirmed in the market is also a necessary criterion to promptly handle problems if errors occur, avoiding errors. Unnecessary loss of orders .

How many visits does a hosting package usually withstand for a ecommerce website?
AZDIGI recognizes that there is a common question during the consulting process for customers, which is asking about the amount of traffic that hosting package can accommodate. For example, the question “How many visits can the Pro Gold 1 package handle per day?”.
You can imagine a website as a car, hosting as the amount of gasoline poured in, with 1 liter of gasoline, some cars can run 5km, while others can only run 1km depending on the type of car. Therefore, to get an accurate number of traffic for a hosting package, the best way is to put the website on a test run to monitor, along with optimization techniques that will help increase the load capacity of the hosting.
But there is one criterion you can consider choosing: the more advanced the hosting package, the better it will handle the load, much better.
