Some sites warrant more care at the ordering stage.

WHAT TO TELL US BEFORE ORDERING

Expected traffic What the site runs on Whether it takes payments Whether there is a launch date Any compliance requirement

Open a Sales ticket with this rather than guessing at a plan.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

A plan with headroom rather than one that just fits. Business-critical sites should not be operating at their limits. Annual billing with auto-renewal, so a card failure cannot take the site offline. A paid or enhanced support option if downtime has a direct cost. Your own off-server backups from day one, not as an afterthought. Cloudflare in front for attack mitigation and caching.

FOR SHOPS SPECIFICALLY

Do not cache cart or checkout pages Set the cron job correctly, since WooCommerce depends on scheduled actions Budget for more memory than a brochure site Test the full checkout before launch, with a real transaction

If shared hosting is the wrong environment for what you describe, we will say so rather than sell you something that will struggle.
