About OpenCart

OpenCart is a lightweight open-source shopping cart. It handles products, options, orders, customers, multiple currencies and multiple storefronts from one installation, and it stays deliberately small — the core does the shop and the rest comes from extensions.

Version we install
4.1.0.3

A database is created for it automatically.

OpenCart documentation

Why people choose OpenCart

OpenCart is the choice when you want a real store without a heavy platform underneath it. It is quick to install, quick to learn, and its extension marketplace is large enough that most of what a shop needs already exists. Running several storefronts from one install is built in rather than an upgrade.

What our hosting does for OpenCart

  • Free SSL is issued, renewed and can be forced site-wide, which is not optional the moment you take a payment.
  • You can add as many subdomains as your storefronts need, so a multi-store setup gets real addresses rather than folders.
  • Content delivery caching and the site accelerator sit in front of the shop, so product pages and images are served from the edge to customers wherever they are.

What you pay when the first term ends

Cheap hosting is usually cheap once. The industry sells a low first term paid years in advance and then renews at several times the price you signed up at. We do not do that, and here is the arithmetic beside three hosts that do.

HostWhat you pay up front for the advertised priceWhat the price does on renewal
Zinn Digital®Nothing — pay monthly, or yearly for two months freeNothing. The price you see is the price you renew at
SiteGround12 months, in advanceMultiplies by 5.3
Hostinger48 months, in advanceMultiplies by 3.6
Bluehost36 months, in advanceMultiplies by 2.5

Read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-09-08. Their prices are theirs and they change; the multiple is the renewal price they publish divided by the price they advertise beside it.

Questions people ask before they buy

How do I install OpenCart?

From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose OpenCart, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.

Which version do you install?

The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.

Can I run other applications alongside it?

Yes. There is no cap on websites or databases on our Linux plan, so you can run OpenCart beside anything else on this list.

Do I get SSH and database access?

Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.

Where will it be hosted?

London, Dallas or Singapore — your choice, all live today.

Can you migrate an existing OpenCart site?

Yes. Send us the details of your current host and our team runs the migration for you.
