A place to talk about WordPress the open source content management system. Also a place to ask for help with WordPress. Don't be rude, don't spam.

I want to make an online store but don’t want to pay $$$$ for Shopify. I looked into woocommerce and it looks exactly like what I want but hosting companies seem to charge extra for woocommerce options. I have deployed my own Wordpress in the past and know enough about front and back end to work things out on my own. Can I just get one of the standard Wordpress option and install woocommerce on it or does it need something extra in the backend that justifies the extra cost?

Also who do you recommend that is cheap and still fairly reliable. It’s a small shop for handmade customized items.

I get that. The ones I mentioned tend to be cheaper but I've used them and they are actually decent. Especially with what OP is saying they need, it's more than enough plus it's easy to add more ram, cores, etc if/when you need it.
