Straight To Live
Getting Joomla up, minus the friction
There is nothing to download here, nothing to unzip, and no configuration file for you to edit by hand. The installer lays down Joomla's files and its database, sets the admin login, and returns a working site in about a minute. Pile up as many installs as your tier permits. Each core then moves forward on a one-click update whenever a release ships.
- Joomla installed straight from the panel
- The database and config written for you
- Several Joomla installs at once
- Core updates in one click or two
Under The Hood
All the things a Joomla site wants
One click and Joomla is running
Click once in the control panel and roughly sixty seconds later a fresh install is sitting there. You create no database. You edit no configuration file. An FTP client never comes into it.
The PHP controls are yours
Swap the PHP release whenever you want. Set memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload ceilings on a per-site basis, so Joomla and its extensions get precisely the conditions they ask for.
Extensions that simply install
Components, modules and templates install without an argument over permissions, and full file, database and SSH access sorts out even the awkward ones.
LiteSpeed handles the caching
Server-side LiteSpeed caching, running over NVMe drives, hands Joomla pages back from memory, which keeps load times flat as the content and the audience both expand.
A fresh copy every night
Every site carries its own copy schedule and a restore that takes two clicks. An extension update that misfires, or an edit made without thinking, then costs you minutes instead of a ruined weekend.
The name and SSL, included
Choose a yearly plan and the first year of the name costs you nothing. A self-reissuing SSL certificate rides along with it, keeping the site encrypted and credible from the minute it opens.
Tuned For Pace
PHP on your terms, and caching working hard
A Joomla site can never outrun the PHP beneath it. Choose each site's release for yourself, then adjust memory, execution time, upload limits and the active extensions, so nothing ends up capped or quietly switched off. LiteSpeed and NVMe caching serve the pages out of memory after that, keeping pace for a single visitor or a thousand who land together.
- A PHP version chosen per site
- Switch extensions on, adjust the limits
- LiteSpeed page and object caching
- Every install sitting on NVMe
Extensions Welcome
Room for each component and every template
Joomla earns its keep through extensions, so we stand aside and let them work. Full file and database access means components, modules, plugins and templates install without permission trouble, and where one wants a particular PHP extension or a higher upload cap, you turn it on yourself. Anybody doing custom work has SSH, Git and Composer to hand.
- Clean installs through full file access
- Up to 100 MySQL databases to hand
- SSH, Git and Composer all included
- Switch on whichever PHP extension you need
Weigh Up
Every tier, in one table
When the site and its traffic grow, moving up a tier is a couple of clicks.

Protection As Standard
Copied each night, guarded from day one
Strip a Joomla site back and it is files, a database and a pile of extensions working together, so the protection has to reach all three. The daily copy leaves a rough update two clicks from being undone, free SSL encrypts the traffic, and malware scanning keeps watch over the rest. Trying a new template stops being a gamble.
- Automatic copies on a daily beat
- Restores in one click, run by you
- SSL included, reissuing on its own
- Malware scanning across every site
Fits
Set up around the way you run Joomla
Magazines and member areas
Built-in multilingual support and access levels suit magazines, membership portals and communities, which is where Joomla tends to land. Caching keeps every one of them quick.
Studios and builders
Run all your client installs out of a single panel, with PHP settings and SSH kept separate per site, and room to park a staging copy alongside each.
Builders and integrators
Custom Joomla components go out on your own terms, thanks to remote MySQL, plus SSH, Git and Composer sitting on the account.
The Route In
Three short moves and the site is live
- 1
Choose a tier
One site fits on Launch. Pro and Elite run out to 100. The installer, the PHP controls, the caching and the copies are standard on all three tiers.
- 2
Start clean, or bring your site
A brand-new Joomla install begins with one click. Alternatively, pass your existing site to our team: they carry the files, the database and the extensions across free, and it usually takes under 24 hours.
- 3
Assemble, then accelerate
Put your templates and extensions in, settle the PHP configuration, then hand the remainder to LiteSpeed caching and nightly copies while we keep an eye on the platform.
All Included

Version Jump
How you get from Joomla 3 through to Joomla 5
Support for Joomla 3 has ended. This is what a clean jump to Joomla 5 involves — or hand the job to us and skip every step.
- 1
Take stock of the extensions
Write down each component, module, plugin and template on the site, then check every one of them has a build that works with Joomla 4 and 5. This is the step where most upgrades come unstuck.
- 2
Patch fully, then cross
Get the Joomla 3 install up to date first. After that, the migration wizard Joomla ships with will carry you to 4 and onward to 5, and the whole thing happens on a staging copy your plan already permits.
- 3
Test it, then throw the switch
Walk the menus, the forms and the templates on staging, take one more copy, then go live. Or skip all of it: our team will run the migration for you at no charge.
Joomla sitting with a sluggish host? The move costs you nothing.
Files, database, extensions and templates brought over with no downtime, usually inside 24 hours of asking.
Book The Free MoveFAQ
Joomla users, answered
How quickly can Joomla be running?
Around a minute, using the Softaculous one-click installer that sits inside cPanel. Open it up, locate Joomla among the 240-plus applications listed, pick the name or subfolder it should live in, then set an admin username and password. Softaculous writes the files, builds the database and finishes the job off. Nothing gets downloaded or unzipped. No configuration file is touched by hand, and an FTP client never appears at all. Run the installer as often as your plan's site allowance permits, which makes parking a staging copy next to the live one a small matter. Softaculous also remembers what it put where, so a future Joomla core update is one click rather than a manual routine. Coming with an existing site instead? Our team moves your current install free, files, database and extensions included.
Is the PHP version mine to set?
Completely. cPanel hands each site its own PHP 8.x release, and you change it the moment a need arises, which helps when a template or an extension names a particular version. The values Joomla cares about belong to you as well: memory_limit, max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, plus per-site switches for individual PHP extensions. That control earns its keep, because a busy Joomla install carrying a stack of components will outgrow the default ceilings, and big media uploads or data imports want working room. OPcache forms part of the same stack, keeping compiled PHP in memory so pages render sooner. And because each site's PHP configuration stands alone, one install can ride the newest branch while another stays on an older one, both moving to their own timetable.
Will my current templates and extensions transfer cleanly?
They do. Full file access arrives with up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases, phpMyAdmin and SSH, so components, modules, plugins and templates go in without the permission fights certain hosts manufacture. Where an extension asks for a particular PHP module or a bigger upload ceiling, you flip it on in cPanel yourself rather than filing a ticket and waiting on a reply. That freedom counts most on demanding builds, since directory, forms, ecommerce and membership extensions tend to turn up with requirements of their own. Developers doing custom work have SSH, Git and Composer for dependencies and deployment in the usual style, while cron looks after extensions running scheduled tasks such as newsletter sends or index rebuilds. A daily copy sits under the lot, so trying a fresh template or component carries little risk. Misbehaves? Roll straight back.
What does the caching actually do here?
Your site sits on pure NVMe SSD storage with LiteSpeed caching and HTTP/2, which is a genuine step up from conventional hosting. Instead of rebuilding each page for each visitor, LiteSpeed hands rendered pages and static files back out of memory, and OPcache keeps compiled PHP ready so every request costs the server less. Stack Joomla's own page and module caching over the top and a return visit arrives almost immediately. Where the gain shows clearest is a surge: a newsletter goes out, or a post suddenly travels, and a crowd lands at the same moment. Cached pages absorb that load rather than making PHP and MySQL carry it raw. NVMe quickens the database work behind menus, articles and search results too. What you end up with is a Joomla site holding its speed as content and audience grow, and nobody asks you to tune anything.
Do copies run on their own, and who restores?
Copies run daily on every plan and you lift no finger to make them happen. Restores belong entirely to you. From cPanel a whole site or one database rolls back in a couple of clicks, with no ticket to raise and nothing to wait for. Having that net underneath changes the feel of risk: core updates, new templates and untried components all become reversible, so trouble means a short restore instead of a genuine setback. Files and database are taken together, so what comes back is the working site rather than half of one. It remains wise to take a fresh copy immediately before any significant change, and to rehearse major updates on a staging install, which your plan's site allowance makes easy enough. Not sure which restore point to reach for? Support will help you pick, at any hour.
Will you take over an existing Joomla site?
Yes, and no bill comes with it. Sign up, then open a ticket carrying your current host's details. Our team brings the Joomla files, the database, the extensions and the templates over, rebuilds all of it on our platform, and checks that menus, components and modules behave themselves before a visitor notices a thing. Roughly 24 hours covers most moves. That last DNS change follows a schedule you agree to, so nothing drops, and your existing site carries on untouched until the new copy has your approval. Sitting on an older Joomla or an older PHP version? Say so and we will map the safest route across. Your daily copy begins as soon as the site lands on our servers, and a free self-reissuing SSL certificate goes onto the name, so what you moved is encrypted from day one.

See Joomla PlansPlenty of Joomla sites are older than the people now looking after them. What they need is current PHP, a real backup and somebody patching the server beneath them. In the engine room sit NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our redundant London datacentre and engineers awake at three in the morning.
Set up for owners keeping a Joomla site in working order: a free certificate on every domain, a free lift off your old host, automatic nightly backups, and no distance between the listed price and the invoice.
Joomla online and battened down
One click installs Joomla, the PHP version bends to whatever your extensions expect, and LiteSpeed caches the front end. An older template still tied to an earlier PHP release gets its own site on that version, while a newer build runs 8.x in the same account.
Speed is engineered in rather than bolted on with a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads immediate, LiteSpeed answers over HTTP/2, and the server caches before your application does anything at all.
The bill for a Joomla site
The oldest move in hosting is a cheap first year and a quiet rise at renewal. Hosting & Domains works the other way about: the number you join at is the number that renews, and anything promotional is flagged on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying it risks nothing more than an afternoon.
The same plans carry Joomla as carry everything else, from $2.42 a month. There is no CMS premium, no extension licence from our side, and the renewal matches the figure you started on.
Joomla's footing on the platform
A Joomla site here sits on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed in our London datacentre, with filtering at the edge. The nightly backup happens whether or not that backup extension from three years ago still works.
Support runs every hour of the day, staffed by the people who administer these servers, with a first reply aimed at 2 hours and 1 hour when a site is down. No tier hands you to a bot.
- Joomla installed and updated in one click
- Each site picks its own PHP version

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Can you take on a Joomla site running an old version?
We can, and we will help bring it up to date. Copy it to staging, upgrade Joomla and its extensions there, and cut over once the whole thing works. If an abandoned extension stalls the upgrade, our desk says so plainly rather than letting launch day break the news.
How long until everything is running?
The account provisions itself at checkout, so minutes rather than days. If an existing site needs bringing over, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the cutover so nothing goes offline.
Does the price move at renewal?
The same rate and the same amount. There is no introductory price here that quietly doubles once you have settled in.
What if Joomla hosting turns out not to suit me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say so inside the month and the refund is processed, with no exit interview and no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue.
