Etsy can change its algorithm, increase fees, or suspend your shop overnight. Your own UK website on Glitch Servers gives you a sales channel you fully control - alongside or instead of Etsy.
About This Hosting
Thousands of UK Etsy sellers have built successful businesses on the platform - and then discovered its fragility. Etsy algorithm changes can halve organic traffic overnight. Fee increases erode margins: listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and offsite ads fees together can take 15–25% of each sale. Account suspensions, sometimes unjust, can remove years of built-up reviews and customer relationships with no appeal process. Successful UK makers and craft sellers increasingly build their own website as a parallel channel - keeping Etsy as a discovery platform while routing repeat customers to a self-hosted shop where Etsy takes nothing.
The Problem
These are the issues Etsy Seller Website Hosting UK most commonly run into when their hosting isn't up to the job.
Own your customer relationships - email list, repeat orders, no Etsy algorithm between you
0% platform fees - pay only Stripe's processor fee, not Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee
Your domain, your brand - builds independent of Etsy's platform risk
