Is there anything I need to do to manage my e-commerce hosting?
Ecwid is a SAAS solution which stands for Software as a Service. In short, this means that your Ecwid shop and all of its data is stored and processed on our own servers. Ecwid does not use or consume resources of the server that runs your website.
The main advantage of this approach is that all software updates/upgrades and fixes are delivered automatically to your Ecwid store by our team and done automatically. Security of your data is also our daily concern and is handled by us as well. We take care of all the technical aspects so that you can focus on selling.
I want to use Ecwid online store with my existing website. Which types of websites can I use with Ecwid?
You can use Ecwid with any site/hosting that allows embedding HTML/Javascript code. So you should be choosing the hosting based on the requirements of your website’s engine and other services that you are going to use and run on your webpages.
Where is my data physically stored?
We rely on Amazon S3 for your e-commerce hosting and they have locations all around the world so your data is stored in multiple locations and delivered from the nearest server to you.
