WooCommerce CBD
Build a powerful, customizable, scalable online CBD store by combining WooCommerce with the state-of-the-art, award-winning MyKinsta WordPress hosting platform.
Why WooCommerce and Kinsta For Your Online CBD Store?
The business of cannabidiol (CBD) is rapidly rising in popularity around the globe. And like any other business, it’s important that CBD online store owners have full ownership and control of their website.
Proprietary website builders like Wix and Squarespace can decide they don’t want to host your CBD site at any time. If they do, you’re out of luck and will have to rebuild your site from scratch somewhere else.
When you build your CBD store using WordPress and WooCommerce, you own your website’s code and aren’t beholden to any specific platform.
Most important, when you choose Kinsta CBD hosting for your WooCommerce CBD store, you gain access to MyKinsta, our award-winning WordPress hosting platform that provides blazing fast load times that can boost your revenue, SEO, ROI, and user experience.

Take your CBD store to the next level with a selection of premium add-ons that are all easily accessible right from your MyKinsta dashboard.
Nginx Reverse Proxy
Nginx, pronounced “engine-ex,” is an open-source web server used as a reverse proxy, HTTP cache, and load balancer.
It’s built to offer low memory usage and high concurrency. Rather than creating new processes for each web request, Nginx uses an asynchronous, event-driven approach where requests are handled in a single thread.
Nginx supports the ability to load WordPress from a subdirectory while a separate website (WordPress or otherwise) loads at the root domain.
With Nginx, one master process can control multiple worker processes.
Redis
At Kinsta, page caching is already built-in for all sites running on our platform. However, some more dynamic sites do not make the best use of page caching.
Ecommerce sites, membership sites, forums, discussion boards, blogs with extremely active comment sections, and other types of highly dynamic websites will benefit greatly by using Redis.
Redis cache allows for the reuse of cached objects rather than requiring the MySQL database to be queried a second time for the same object.
This reduces the load on a website’s MySQL database, while simultaneously decreasing the response time of the site and increasing the site’s ability to scale and handle additional traffic.
Automatic External, Hourly, and 6-Hour Backup Options
External backups can be configured for either a weekly or monthly frequency. You also have a choice between backing up your files only, WordPress database only, or both.
Your ecommerce site is a continuously changing site. Our hourly and 6-hour backup options could be a perfect fit. Rest assured that you can upgrade or downgrade this add-on at any time.
These are additional restore points. When you have the hourly backups add-on enabled, automatic daily backups are still taken and available to restore.
Scale Visits and Disk Space
A peak in traffic shouldn’t have you scrambling to change your plan. Our transparent overage pricing lets you calculate in advance. For large sites with a lot of files or images, increase your plan’s disk space with our monthly add-on.
For additional flexibility, you can increase the storage space of your hosting plan with a few clicks inside the MyKinsta dashboard.
Thousands of five-star ratings.
And counting.
Absolutely fantastic – cannot rate highly enough in terms of speed, support, and UI. Went from WP Engine to Flywheel, then to Kinsta and couldn’t be happier.
Maintaining many global WordPress sites, we’ve become well acquainted with all the major hosting providers. No one is running our sites as fast as Kinsta.
When we first migrated to Kinsta, the speed difference over our previous VPS was unbelievable. It’s been a treat to run our WordPress sites on Kinsta, with total confidence in everything they do to make WordPress run optimally. From caching, backups, and developer tools to their fast and reliable support. It allows us to focus on our business and not on the server, knowing we are in the best possible hands when it comes to managed WordPress hosting.
Great performance and the best technical support! Moved from WiredTree at which I experienced a lot of downtime since the acquisition. I’m amazed how my website’s performance drastically improved and is loading fast now. They do have the best support too. Specifically, the technical knowledge compared to the other hosting providers. Really glad I switched to Kinsta!
Really love the level of experience and support Kinsta’s live chat engineers provide. The 24/7 support is a game-changer for large sites, especially ecommerce.
Living in Australia, we’re used to unavailable live support from international services. This has changed with the Kinsta Support team who are professional, polite, always available and eager to help. Our search for a new hosting provider was due to hosting security concerns and unresponsive hosting partners. Migrating to Kinsta was a straightforward and surprisingly pleasant process. Since migrating iCompareFX.com, we are seeing faster website speeds, higher conversions within a more secure environment.
Kinsta is the best WordPress host I’ve had so far. They are quick to help, easy to deal with, and really know their stuff. Plus their servers are super fast!
Hands down, Kinsta is the best WordPress hosting provider I have come across after trying out heaps of hosting solutions for the past 10+ years. From speed, uptime, performance, CDN, UI, and backups to the migration, Kinsta has been beyond fantastic! Their professional customer support is simply impressive, and I couldn’t ask for more. I do not think I will ever be thinking of switching to another hosting provider, at least for many years to come!
Kinsta provides us with enormous relief in the daily routine of monitoring and maintaining a fast and secure WordPress website. There is no better feeling for our customers and us!
We truly cannot say enough about the level of customer service that Kinsta provides – it’s always a great experience, with very personable and helpful support.
Kinsta saves us time so that we can focus on building our business instead of worrying about hosting or downtime. It’s quick and easy to use, has good support, and the websites load quickly and have excellent uptime.
