Online shops
Combine filters →A shop breaks the assumption most web hosting is tuned for. Catalog pages cache well; cart, checkout and account pages cannot, so traffic lands on the application and the database at exactly the moment it matters. Add a search service, a session store, background indexing and PCI questions, and shop hosting becomes its own product. Providers marketing it usually mean sized infrastructure rather than an installer entry.
55 providers market themselves for online shops, listed alphabetically. Mostly shared hosting, Platform as a Service and Domains and DNS, of 10 categories in all. 48 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
