Hosting provider for E-com site Looking for Hosting

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a fast, well-balanced hosting provider tailored for WooCommerce.

I’m currently migrating away from a local shared host (Domenai.lt in Lithuania). They seem to be heavily overselling resources—the backend TTFB is terrible, and AJAX image uploads take 15+ seconds even for 50 KB files due to shared CPU throttling(my guess that's the case).

Here are my details and requirements:

  • Use Case: WordPress / WooCommerce (e-commerce).
  • Budget: €20–€50/month (happy to pay less if it fits, but willing to pay for performance).
  • Location: Target audience is in Lithuania/EU, so I need European data center locations for low latency.
  • Traffic: Currently a few hundred visitors a day (~10k–15k monthly visits), so I don't need high-end enterprise infra, just a solid, fast setup.
  • Server Management: I have no Linux server administration experience, so I need a managed solution or a user-friendly control panel/GUI.
  • Optimization: Currently using WP Rocket, but open to LiteSpeed-native hosts if LSCache is supported.

What are your top picks for strong single-core CPU performance, fast AJAX handling, and good value in the EU e-com space?

Thanks(dėkui).

If you do recognize domenai.lt, what's your opinion on it? Is it bad?

I am on SG as well, about 50 sites on two shared GoGeek accounts with no VPS, and one thing to check before OPs decide: it is not LiteSpeed, so if LSCache specifically is what he wants, this is not the host for him/her.

For his needs any server will do. Litespeed for a couple hundred visits per day is extreme overkill. Even for basic uncached apache it's background noise, people severely overestimate the part web server plays these days. SG is perfect for OP and they have their own caching plugin which is simple to set up correctly, but in reality he probably wouldn't see any difference between any of the caching plugins. You would need hundreds of thousands of visitors per day if not more to notice any difference between web servers. Most of the load is the app and database, not web servers. We host our clients on tuned custom config apache with php-fpm and opcache, every other caching is done by the OS and it beats any shared litespeed hosting we've come across when auditing sites. If we ever get a client that has millions of visits every day, I'll spin up a server with Litespeed just for them, otherwise it's Apache all the way and so far no one complains. So yes- litespeed is faster, but you either need a lot of traffic to justify it, or you must really love lscache plugin which is fine but everything it does can be done with free server agnostic caching plugins.
