Why do sellers choose Kiravo to host their WooCommerce online stores?

A store that's fast enough to close the sale and steady enough to handle the rush. No slow checkout. No Black Friday outage. No surprise bill the morning after.

  • Conversion-focused speed
  • Handle sales season traffic
  • Backend performance
  • Managed security

Conversion-focused speed

Every millisecond at checkout has a price. We removed as many as we could.

Slow stores quietly lose conversions. The fix isn't "buy a CDN" — it's a stack where each layer is tuned for the WooCommerce workload.

  • Server-level FastCGI cache

    Product pages and category listings served from RAM. First paint in tens of milliseconds, even on heavy templates.

  • Free Redis object cache

    WooCommerce hits the database hundreds of times per page request. Redis caches every repeat query in memory.

  • Optimised checkout flow

    We exclude the cart and checkout from page-caching automatically — they need to be live. Everything else stays cached.

  • Core Web Vitals friendly

    Fast LCP and INP out of the box. Google sees a healthy store; checkout doesn't lose conversions to slow render.

Handle sales season traffic

Built for the biggest day of your year, on every day of the year.

You shouldn't have to pre-warn your host before Black Friday. Capacity should already be there — and it should be there at the same flat price.

  • Burst capacity built in

    Every plan ships with significant burst headroom. A 10× spike on Black Friday is a good day, not an outage.

  • Low-density nodes

    We deliberately keep fewer sites per server than the industry average. Your neighbours can't starve your checkout.

  • No per-visit overage charges

    Flat monthly pricing. A successful sale event is profit, not a hosting invoice.

Backend performance

The admin panel is part of the store. It should be fast too.

WooCommerce is database-heavy. Order screens, product imports, bulk-edits, reports — they all hit the database hard. Every layer of our stack is tuned for that workload.

  • High-frequency AMD EPYC CPUs

    Single-threaded PHP performance is what WooCommerce admin actually needs. Faster cron, faster checkout, faster everything in wp-admin.

  • Optimised MariaDB

    Tuned for the read/write mix WordPress + WooCommerce actually produces. InnoDB buffers sized properly. Indexes that work.

  • Free Redis object cache

    WooCommerce caches sessions, transients, and meta in memory. Database load drops by an order of magnitude.

  • NVMe storage

    Solid-state with IOPS most hosts don't match. Large catalogues and product images load fast.

Managed security

Five layers of security, in front of every order and every credential.

E-commerce stores handle customer details, addresses, and (via gateways) payment data. Security isn't optional, and it shouldn't be your responsibility to keep configured.

  • Server-level firewall

    Attacks blocked at the edge before they reach WordPress. Updated rules; no plugin to install.

  • Site isolation

    Your store runs in its own sandbox. A vulnerability in another tenant can't reach your customer data.

  • Continuous malware scanning

    Every file watched. Card skimmers and injected scripts detected fast — usually before a customer sees them.

  • Brute-force protection

    Login attempts throttled automatically. wp-admin stops being a soft target.

  • Daily backups + 14-day retention

    Restore yesterday, last week, or two weeks ago. One click — and orders since the snapshot can be merged back in.

The hosting middle

Fast enough to convert. Affordable enough to keep your margin.

Cheap hosting kills conversion with slow checkouts. Per-resource managed hosting taxes every successful campaign. Kiravo speeds up the cart without billing the growth.

  • Cheap shared hosting

    $2.99/mo

    5–10 second checkouts during peak hours. Visible cart abandonment, invisible to your analytics. Security exposure for customer data. Outsourced tier-1 support exactly when the store needs help.

  • Kiravo

    €15/mo

    Sub-second checkout. Burst capacity for sales events. EU servers, GDPR by default. Flat pricing — no per-order, no per-resource, no overage panic. Tuned for WooCommerce by default.

  • Per-resource managed

    $35/mo

    Excellent for steady traffic, expensive for spikes. Per-order or per-resource pricing turns Black Friday into a billing event. US-default servers; tuning the WooCommerce stack costs extra.

More reasons

Everything else a store owner notices, once it's gone.

Beyond the four pillars, the rest of what store owners notice — usually on the day they need it.

  • European data, European law

    Servers in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands. GDPR-friendly customer data handling, by default.

  • 99.99% uptime — usually 100%

    SLA-backed, hit in practice. Status page is public, with history.

  • Email DNS configured for free

    Bring your own Google Workspace, M365, Proton, or SendGrid. SPF / DKIM / DMARC properly set up so receipts land in the inbox.

  • No plugin restrictions

    Install any WooCommerce extension, any payment gateway, any tax engine. We don't maintain a banned-plugins list.

  • Large catalogues welcome

    NVMe + tuned MariaDB + Redis means 10,000-SKU stores stay responsive in admin and on the front-end.

  • 14-day backup retention

    Two weeks of restore points. Lost a product, broke a plugin, ran a bad import — one-click rollback.

  • Slack & Cloudflare integration

    Uptime alerts and incident notifications in Slack. Cloudflare DNS sync in a few clicks for performance and security.

  • WooCommerce since 2011

    We've optimised for Woo since before it was an Automattic product. We know what its database actually does at scale.

  • Support in English & Romanian

    Detailed written support that stays clear and respectful. No phone tag, no escalation theatre.

“We have been using their WordPress hosting for our online business for the last 4 years. They've managed quite impressive performance on WooCommerce with 20k products.”

“I went to them because the hosting I had didn't have WordPress-specific optimization. I'd read about that optimization but didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. A huge step forward for my business.”

“My company has been with them for a year and have no intentions of ever changing. They are very responsive and really show an interest in helping their clients.”
