A private platform provider.
Open source WooCommerce plugins, and the stack we run on.
Open source WooCommerce plugins are released under a licence such as the GPL, so you can read, change and share the code. WooCommerce itself is open source. EasWrk runs on open source software and publishes its own WooCommerce and WordPress plugins on GitHub. Before you install any plugin, check its licence, its version and the WordPress version it was tested against.
The stack
What we run on
Almost everything we offer sits on top of open-source software. When you host with EasWrk, you are running on tools that thousands of people have built and tested in the open.
WordPress
WordPress powers the sites our customers build. It is free and open source.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce turns WordPress into a full store. Every eCommerce plan we sell is built around it.
DirectAdmin
DirectAdmin is the control panel behind your hosting account. It gives you file access, email, databases, and DNS without us standing in the way.
LiteSpeed
LiteSpeed serves and caches your pages, which helps a WooCommerce store stay fast under load.
MySQL, PHP and Redis
MySQL stores the data and PHP runs the application layer. Redis is available as a managed object cache add-on.
We do not hide this. The same software you would run yourself is the software we run for you, tuned and maintained so you do not have to.
Our own tools
The WooCommerce plugins we publish
We write plugins for WordPress and WooCommerce stores and publish them on GitHub. Each one fixes a specific gap that WordPress or WooCommerce does not cover out of the box. The list below shows the plugins whose header states a GPL licence.
A GPL licence means you can use a plugin, read the code, change it, and share your changes.

For you
Why it matters to you
Your site is standard WordPress and WooCommerce, and your data is in standard MySQL. EasWrk hosts them, and you own and control them. If you ever want to leave, you can take them with you and run them elsewhere.
It also means more eyes on the code. More people can review open code, and issues get reported and fixed in the open.

How we support the projects we use
We support open source by running it well, reporting issues we hit, and publishing the tools we write rather than keeping them private. Read how we host stores on managed WooCommerce hosting, or the WordPress plugin ecosystem post on choosing plugins. When we patch a problem that affects the wider community, we aim to share the fix upstream.
