Ecommerce Hosting: What to Look for in a Host
A Nigerian store needs naira checkout, a readable ledger, and a host that ships the updates. The plugin pile is the part to skip.
Hosting for a store is more than a place to put a website. The host has to take a payment in naira, keep the order, and show you which funds you can withdraw.
Look for four things. Checkout in your store currency. A ledger that says pending and available in plain language. A storefront you can brand. Updates that arrive without a stack of plugins to maintain.
Shopmummy hosts the storefront. Paystack collects the naira payment. The platform posts the net to your ledger and holds it until delivery and the return window. You do not assemble a theme shop, a payments plugin, and a server.
Your own domain starts on Pro, which includes three custom domains. Business includes ten. On Free, the store lives on its Shopmummy address, which is enough to take the first orders.
Ask a host what happens on the day after delivery. If the answer is a plugin and a spreadsheet, the money is still your problem. If the answer is a balance you can read, the host is doing the job.
