Hey everyone! I’m about to launch a small online shop with just a handful of products. A friend is helping me set it up, but I’m worried about managing it on my own later. I’m looking for hosting recommendations that are:
Budget-friendly for beginners
Easy to use without tech skills
Scalable as the business grows
I’d love to hear about your experiences with different platforms. What worked well for you when starting out? Any tips for someone with limited tech knowledge?
Hey there! I’m also in the process of setting up my own little online shop, so I totally get where you’re coming from. Have you looked into Shopify at all? I’ve been playing around with their free trial and it seems pretty user-friendly so far.
What kind of products are you planning to sell? I’m curious because that might affect which platform works best for you.
Also, how tech-savvy would you say you are on a scale of 1-10? I’m probably like a 6 on a good day, haha. It’d be cool to hear how you’re finding the whole process so far!
Oh, and random question - have you thought about how you’re going to handle shipping yet? That’s the part that’s giving me a headache right now. Any tips would be much appreciated!
hey, i use wix evn a not so cheap host but its simple even if u aren’t techy. they offer quick templates but look out for hidden fees, and product limits. overall, so far it’s workin fine. hope that helps!
I’ve been running my small online shop for about a year now, and I can totally relate to your concerns. After trying a few options, I settled on SiteGround and haven’t looked back. Their customer support is fantastic - a real lifesaver when you’re just starting out and aren’t too tech-savvy.
What I love about SiteGround is how easy it is to scale up as your business grows. I started with their basic plan, which was super affordable, and recently upgraded without any hassle. They also offer one-click WordPress installation, which makes setting up your shop a breeze.
One tip: don’t overlook the importance of good customer support. Trust me, when you’re in a panic at 2 AM because something’s not working right, you’ll be glad you chose a host with 24/7 support. Good luck with your new venture!
