osCommerce hosting
Install osCommerce from your dashboard with its database set up for it, on a managed Linux platform with free SSL, daily backups and a global CDN on every site.
osCommerce 4 is the current, maintained generation of one of the longest-running open-source shopping carts. It gives you a product catalogue with variants and stock, a cart and checkout, customer accounts, tax and shipping rules, promotions, a modern admin and themes you can edit, on your own hosting.
A database is created for it automatically.
The reason to choose osCommerce 4 over a hosted store is ownership: no monthly platform fee, no cut of your transactions and no tier deciding how many products you list. The reason to host it with us is that version 4 is a large modern PHP application, and it runs best on a server set up for it from the first order.
Tuned for the app, not generic hosting
osCommerce is installed on a server profile made for osCommerce: the PHP version, memory, extensions, compiled-code cache and scheduled tasks it needs are applied when your site is built — not one generic setup shared by every app.
The same care runs under every osCommerce site, with nothing to switch on.
We upgrade osCommerce for you in a time window you choose, after trying each update on a test copy of your site. Every update is backed up first and rolled back automatically if anything fails.
$50.00 a year per site
osCommerce runs on our Linux hosting. One plan, everything included.

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.
| Host | What you pay up front for the advertised price | What the price does on renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Zinn Digital® | Nothing — pay monthly, or pay for a year up front and save. Every plan shows both prices before you buy. | Nothing. The price you see is the price you renew at |
| SiteGround | 12 months, in advance | Multiplies by 5.3 |
| Hostinger | 48 months, in advance | Multiplies by 3.6 |
| Bluehost | 36 months, in advance | Multiplies 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.

The pages people usually read after this one — the platform underneath, the rest of the range, and the help you get once you are here.
From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose osCommerce, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.
The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.
Yes. Each Linux plan's website comes with subdomains, and Linux Pro has no cap on databases or subdomains, so you can run osCommerce beside other applications from this list — or add a plan for each further website.
Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.
That depends on the plan you choose.
Yes. On any paid plan, AI Move does it for you free: our AI moves it, overseen by our migration team, and tests it before the switch-over.
Yes. When your osCommerce site is built, the server applies a profile made for osCommerce: PHP 8.4, 512 MB of memory per request rising with your plan, a 192 MB compiled-code cache and 15 PHP extensions, plus security headers and long browser caching for its files. Daily backups kept 30 days, a daily malware scan and a website firewall run underneath.
Every shared plan begins with a free trial and is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the price you sign up at is the price you renew at. If you would rather ask somebody first, the people who answer are the people who run the platform.
