Choose WordPress for the way your site works
A blog or business website usually centres on publishing pages, articles and media. A WooCommerce store adds product data, orders, customer accounts and transactional extensions. Identify which application you need, then select WordPress or WordPress with WooCommerce from the compatible choices in the configurator.
List the theme, plugins and integrations your project depends on. For a store, include its own customer payment and shipping workflows in that inventory. Paying for hosting with crypto is a separate decision from accepting payments on the website. The WooCommerce hosting page covers the store-specific selection more closely.

Check compatibility before changing the live site
Check the requirements of WordPress, your theme and every important extension against your PHP preference. An existing site gives you a useful compatibility inventory: its versions, custom code and connected services. Test a PHP or plugin change in a separate environment and keep a recovery copy before applying it to visitors.
For a hosting move, retain access to the current files, database and domain settings. Prepare the new environment using the delivered service details, then test pages, forms and logins. Preserve email DNS records when switching the website destination. The migration timetable and final data synchronisation belong to your project plan.

Plan installations, media and recovery together
Count the WordPress installations you intend to run and compare their combined storage needs with the plan. Media libraries, databases, exports and temporary recovery copies all use space. Choose a multisite preference for the administration model your project requires, while keeping the selected offer’s site allowance in view.
Decide who will maintain themes, plugins and content, and review the available update and backup options. A requested update preference does not cover every extension or store operation. Preserve recoverable files and database data together. Review the chosen three, six or twelve-month quotation before creating the crypto invoice.
