Scalable performance and international growth without worries

For e-commerce companies that are highly seasonal, continuity is not a luxury but an absolute necessity. Zwembadshop knows this better than anyone. As a specialized webshop for everything related to swimming pools and spas, from pumps and filters to maintenance products and pool robots, being “always online” is crucial, especially during warm periods when demand peaks.

To guarantee that continuity and enable further growth, Zwembadshop started looking for partners who could truly take the burden off their shoulders. They found those partners in Hosted Power as their hosting provider and Clonable for international expansion.

“The Hosted Power team is easy to approach and there is always an expert available with excellent support.”

The challenge: dependency and performance issues

Zwembadshop runs on WooCommerce and began noticing increasing problems with their previous hosting provider. The webshop regularly went “down” due to a growing number of API requests and peak traffic loads. In addition, support was insufficient: slow communication, no strong first-line help, and a heavy dependence on individual contact persons.

For CEO and founder Sam, that was the turning point.

“I wanted to be able to delegate and focus on my core business. I don’t want to lose sleep over other things.”

Zwembadshop was looking for certainty, stability, and a partner who understood their business not only technically, but also commercially.

 

The approach: testing before deciding

Hosted Power suggested not migrating immediately, but first setting up a Try & Buy concept. This allowed Zwembadshop to test in a realistic environment how the infrastructure performed under load, and to experience how the Hosted Power platform was specifically tuned for their WooCommerce application.

During this proof of concept, it quickly became clear where the difference was:

  • infrastructure that can withstand peak traffic and heavy API calls
  • active monitoring and proactive alerts
  • managed services that completely remove technical complexity

Instead of working with abstract parameters such as CPU, RAM, or bots, Zwembadshop received clear answers and concrete solutions.

“With other hosting providers, they throw around VPN, RAM, CPU, etc. I have no idea what I need. Hosted Power simply told me.”

After a successful test phase, Zwembadshop decided to make the switch. The migration went remarkably smoothly and without downtime, an absolute requirement for their business.

 

The result: peace of mind, performance, and trust

Since working with Hosted Power, Zwembadshop has mainly experienced peace of mind. The webshop is high-performing, stable, and continuously available, even during busy periods. Issues are often detected before they have any impact.

“The Hosted Power team is easy to reach and there is always an expert available with clear information.”

“I feel that Hosted Power truly understands me. You don’t see me as an application, but you know that downtime immediately means lost revenue, and you act accordingly.”

International growth with Clonable

In addition to stability, international expansion was also an important next step. For this, Zwembadshop works with Clonable, an internationalization platform for setting up and managing websites and webshops in multiple languages and countries.

With Clonable, Zwembadshop was able to quickly launch foreign versions of their webshop without heavy development projects. The solution is intuitive, flexibly adjustable, and above all extremely relieving, exactly what Zwembadshop was looking for.

Here too, the collaboration perfectly matches their expectations: a no-nonsense approach, fast implementation, and maximum control without complexity.
