good day, I want to ask how it is with web hosting on shopify, if I need it when I create a website for dropshipping and I created a website on shopify and I will buy a domain, so do I need it for that or not? Thanks for the advice
Be careful, I’m having issues and a very hard time getting any answers from shopify
Hi Simonka!
You will never need any hosting services with Shopify unless:
- you want to create custom app and use like an external API integrator for your dropshipping business or
- decide to go with headless storefront that you’ll develop and host yourself (and even then with some plans Shopify provides managed hosting if you decide to use their Remix fueled Hydrogen framework for building your front-end).
! Shopify storefront is managed by Shopify if you use Liquid themes.
All that being said if you can provide any more details on what you are trying to achieve I can assist you in the process of bringing this idea to life
Feel free to contact me at hello@filar.co if you want professional assistance with this process.
Have a good day!

When setting up a dropshipping site on Shopify, you don’t need separate web hosting because Shopify is a fully hosted e-commerce platform. This means that Shopify takes care of all the hosting requirements, including server management, security, and maintenance, allowing you to focus on building and growing your online store.
However, if you’re looking for additional services like custom domain registration, email hosting, or advanced website customization, you might consider third-party providers. For instance, UCartz offers a range of hosting and domain services that can complement your Shopify store, providing you with more flexibility and control over your online presence.
In summary, Shopify’s built-in hosting is sufficient for launching and running a dropshipping site, but exploring additional services from providers like UCartz can enhance your store’s capabilities and branding.
