Hi all, does anyone have advice on where I can host my WordPress eCommerce site where I have the freedom to load my own plugins (some nulled) and not be locked into "approved" site ones.

A lot of the big sites seem quite restrictive. I am in South Africa.

Well they are a load of crap then and it’s the first time I ever heard of that. It’s just silly they can’t stop you installing a wp plugin on your site

You sure about that? Never heard that before. Any hosting company should allow you to upload whatever you want.

For non Wordpress websites - just light PHP u can sharing hostingu.

But Wordpress needs VPS Like this digitalocean with openlightspeed with more powerful and speed.

I noticed huge different after moving my WP websites to VPS

Actually flatdog is correct about the block lists, here is an example with godaddy , here is wpengine
this is the kinsta list. Bluehost. So it is a common practice among big hosting companies.
