**No.** Spree Commerce is not supported on Ruachost hosting.

Spree is an online store platform built on Ruby on Rails. It needs background services and server resources that our hosting environment isn't set up to provide.

## Alternatives

If you want to run an online shop, these PHP-based options work well on Ruachost hosting:

- **WooCommerce**, a shop plugin for WordPress. It's the easiest option if you already use WordPress.
- Other shopping carts, such as OpenCart or PrestaShop, which you can install with Softaculous in cPanel.
