We help small businesses get online and grow—with custom design, hosting, SEO, and support—no tech headaches, no DIY.

Every business needs a reliable, flexible foundation for their website. WordPress is the world’s most widely used website builder—and our go-to platform at Stack Host. It’s SEO-friendly, endlessly customizable, and trusted by everyone from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Here’s why we recommend WordPress for small businesses:

Ease of Use
Updating your homepage, adding new pages, or uploading fresh content is simple—even if you’ve never touched a website before. After your site is launched, our team provides training and access to an intuitive drag-and-drop builder so you can easily make changes anytime.

WordPress is SEO-Friendly
Search engine visibility matters. WordPress includes powerful tools to boost your rankings, and we supercharge that with Rank Math SEO—a plugin that helps you optimize pages, fix errors, and stay ahead of trends. With Stack Host, your site is built to be found.

Versatility
WordPress scales with your business. From a basic website to a full-featured platform with booking, eCommerce, memberships, or blogs—it can handle it. It’s the same platform trusted by brands like Microsoft, Capital One, and Disney.

Integration & Customization
With access to over 55,000 plugins, your site can do just about anything—sell products, collect leads, showcase portfolios, or embed maps, video, and calendars. If your business needs it, WordPress probably offers a plugin for it—and Stack Host helps you implement it right.

If you’re looking to sell products online, Shopify is one of the best platforms available—designed specifically for ecommerce businesses of all sizes. At Stack Host, we recommend Shopify for small businesses that want a reliable, scalable online store with minimal tech headaches.

Built for Selling
Shopify is laser-focused on ecommerce. From product pages to inventory management, it’s built to help you launch and grow a successful online store. Whether you’re selling one product or one thousand, Shopify makes it simple.

Secure and Fast Hosting
Unlike other platforms, Shopify hosts your site for you—delivering high-speed performance, built-in security, and automatic updates. You don’t have to worry about server setup, caching, or maintenance.

Professional Designs
Choose from beautifully crafted themes tailored for ecommerce. We’ll customize your Shopify store to match your brand, upload products, and get you ready to take orders in no time.

App Ecosystem & Payments
With thousands of apps and built-in payment gateways, Shopify gives you access to advanced features like abandoned cart recovery, shipping automation, customer accounts, and more—without coding.

Note: Stack Host is not affiliated with Shopify or WordPress. We’re an independent provider offering expert setup and support for both platforms.

Getting started with Stack Host is simple—just choose how you want to launch.

Most customers begin with our Startup Kit, a one-time setup service where we build your website on WordPress or Shopify. We handle everything: design, basic SEO, Google setup, and theme customization—so your site is ready to go fast.

After that, pick a monthly plan to keep your site running smoothly:

• The Foundation Plan includes hosting, updates, backups, and a free redesign every 2 years.
• The Growth Plan adds local SEO, monthly edits, content updates, and full stack growth support.

Already have a website? We’ll migrate your WordPress site to our ultra-fast Google Cloud infrastructure at no cost.

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a setup link and staging site. From there, you can choose a design theme or let our team tailor one for you. Support is available every step of the way, and you can even book a screen share with a website expert if you want guided setup.

Prefer a no-upfront option? Ask about our All-In Monthly Plans that include everything—setup, hosting, and long-term support—in one monthly subscription.

At Stack Host, most small businesses get started with our Startup Kit for $999 (one-time) or $199/month for 24 months with no upfront cost. This includes a professionally designed WordPress or Shopify website, basic SEO, Google setup, and launch support.

After setup, you’ll continue with a monthly plan:

• Foundation Plan: $129/month (WordPress) or $99/month (Shopify)
• Growth Plan: $298/month (WordPress) or $267/month (Shopify)

If you’re not sure which path is right for you, start with a theme—and upgrade to custom when you’re ready.

Just like a car needs regular maintenance, your website needs ongoing care to stay secure, fast, and up to date. At Stack Host, full-service hosting means we don’t just launch your site—we actively manage and support it.

With our Foundation Plan or Growth Plan, you get:
