Jump to your software

Everything on the cards below sits on one quick, hardened stack. Click through for guidance written for that application specifically.

WordPress Hosting

Around the platform much of the web already runs on, we wrap caching, a staging copy and an install that finishes in one go. Management of the whole lot stays with us.

Content & publishing

WooCommerce Hosting

A hardened WordPress install sits underneath, which is why the shop keeps its speed as checkout traffic climbs.

Online stores

Drupal Hosting

A rigorous, long-established content platform, put together for sites where security cannot be traded away.

Heavyweight content

Joomla Hosting

Between a plain journal and a full framework lies ground this one occupies. One click from the installer and it is live.

Adaptable CMS

Laravel Hosting

Modern PHP sits at the centre, and Composer, Git and a real terminal arrive with the environment.

Developer stack

Magento Hosting

An Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source catalogue has its room reserved before opening day ever arrives.

Big-catalog retail

PHP Hosting

Send up code you wrote yourself. Then choose the PHP release, switch on the extensions you want, and hold full access to every file.

Install In Seconds

Pick it, click it, and it is configured and running

An argument about database credentials and config files is no way to begin an installation. Open Softaculous, choose the thing you came for, and set it against a name you hold. A moment or two after that it is live, installed and joined up to its database. The login screen will already be sitting there, waiting on whoever uses it. Some would sooner assemble the whole thing by hand, and that is catered for. Every account also carries SFTP, SSH and phpMyAdmin, ready at the moment you are.

  • 240+ scripts inside Softaculous
  • The database and admin login created for you
  • Automatic updates on supported applications
  • A manual install always an option

The Complete Library

Every one of the 240+ applications, sorted by what you mean to build

The household names are only the start. Softaculous spans whole categories of install-ready PHP software — here is the map.

The Softaculous categories, running from content software to shop and community tools

Blogs and newsrooms

At one end of the range sits a single writer. A twelve-editor newsroom occupies the other end of it. WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and Concrete CMS handle everything between them.

Stores and checkouts

Pick WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or OpenCart, then click once; a checkout, a basket and the catalogue itself are waiting.

Communities and forums

phpBB, MyBB or Flarum will carry the community itself. What that community works out belongs in a MediaWiki-style wiki, and it can go straight there.

Courses and e-learning

Moodle or Chamilo will hold your lessons, your quizzes and a structured training course.

CRM and business tools

SuiteCRM and its cousins put customers and projects into one view. Helpdesk, invoicing and task-board scripts sit right alongside, on the same account.

Frameworks and builds from scratch

Custom work starts wherever you like: Laravel, Symfony, or plain PHP with every piece shaped by your own hand.

Why It Runs Well Here

The ground an application has to stand on before it runs well

NVMe hosting keeping an application quick and steady once real load turns up

Live after a couple of clicks

Softaculous holds 240-plus ready-to-run applications, and two clicks is the whole distance between you and any of them. Setup never stalls, so building is what you spend the time on.

Quick now, quick at scale

A PHP site that keeps growing will not lose its edge in this setting. NVMe-class drives sit underneath it, with careful caching layered across the top of them. Nothing droops as the page count rises and visitor numbers rise with it.

You set the PHP release

Give every site its own PHP version if that suits. Extensions flick on from the panel, one at a time, until each line of the software's requirements sheet is met.

Patched, scanned, protected

Free SSL stands in front of every application on the account. Malware scans run to a timetable rather than at somebody's whim. Patches reach the platform well before asking for them crosses your mind.

Backed up daily

A bad update, a theme that shatters, a plugin gone strange: all of it comes down to one restore instead of a weekend you never get back. The copy is fresh. It lands each day.

People on call, at any hour

Whether the ticket is about an install, a move, or some odd quirk an application has thrown out, it reaches engineers who are there to be got hold of. Any hour, every day of the year.

Developer Ready

A real shell, plus Composer and Git, with no ticket needed

Shipping a Laravel API and keeping an elderly PHP codebase upright call for the same toolchain. That toolchain went on the account before you ever logged in for the first time. Set a PHP version for each site, then pull the dependencies down using Composer. Push your code across through Git, and finish the job off inside an SSH session. A ticket queue is not something that stands between you and a settings change.

  • A PHP version set per site
  • Git and Composer ready on day one
  • Shell access and cron scheduling
  • phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL access

Quick Start

Three moves take you from an idea to a live site

A PHP application on its way from install to live, in three stages
  1. 1

    Choose your platform

    Begin with a single question. What is it you want running? It could be WordPress, or Magento, or a Laravel project, or PHP out of your own editor. Say the word.

  2. 2

    Launch it

    Softaculous has it running inside seconds. If deploying by hand suits you better, push your own code over with SFTP and Git and leave the installer alone.

  3. 3

    Ship, then scale

    Aim the domain name at it and turn free SSL on. Should traffic or catalogue size outgrow the tier you started on, one step up settles it.

Locked Down

Scanned, copied and watched over, with no pause in it

Security is inherited. An application takes it from the ground it stands on, which is why malware scans hold to a steady rhythm and the free certificates renew themselves long before anyone thinks of sending a reminder. Stack patches land too. A fresh copy turns up every day, so a misbehaving plugin, or a command typed in too much of a hurry, sits one restore away from being undone. None of it needs asking for.

  • Free SSL per application, reissuing itself
  • Platform patching and malware scans
  • A daily restore point for every site
  • DDoS filtering on a watched network
A site packed up and carried to its new host without the visitors noticing

On a sluggish host? We move the application across at no charge.

Our engineers carry the files, database and settings across with barely a blip — most moves finish within a day of the ticket landing.

FAQ

Application hosting questions, answered

What software will these plans actually run?

Almost anything that expects a PHP and MySQL stack underneath it is going to run here. Every kind of content platform is there: Drupal, Ghost, Concrete CMS, WordPress and Joomla among them. Software for running a shop is in there as well: WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart. Frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony are listed, as are community tools like phpBB and MyBB. MediaWiki appears alongside learning systems on the order of Moodle, and your own code is welcome too. Softaculous alone lists upwards of 240 known scripts, and they spread right across those groups. Anything the library happens to miss can still be installed by hand over SSH or SFTP. Below the lot sits a complete, unremarkable PHP and MySQL environment whose releases you select yourself. Extensions of the usual sort are present, so code written for shared hosting tends to run first time. Read the application's own requirements first, since both the PHP release and the loaded modules are adjustable. Each of those two settings is changed from the panel, without a ticket or a wait. Should you have something specific in mind, name it and we will say straight out whether it runs.

Can anything be installed here without me writing a single line of code?

Yes. For the platforms most people arrive here wanting, not one line of code is required at any point in the process. Softaculous walks the sequence for you: pick your application, point it at a name and a folder, then set the admin username and password. It builds the database. It writes the configuration file, then hands back a login that works. WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla and Magento installs mostly begin exactly that way on this platform, and a good many carry on patching themselves afterwards with nothing asked of you. Rather hold the controls? Uploading code of your own is provided for, as is standing up a framework project or installing some script the library has never come across, because SFTP, SSH, Git and phpMyAdmin land with every account. Take either route. An engineer is reachable at any hour when an install digs its heels in.

Can several applications share one account?

They can, provided your plan's website allowance stretches past a single site on the account. Applications of quite different kinds will sit next to one another without any friction at all. Picture a Joomla site, a WordPress journal and a Laravel dashboard sharing the one account. Each of them holds a name, a database and a configuration wholly its own. Those three things are kept properly apart, which is the whole point of the arrangement. PHP versions are set per site, so one application can take the newest release available. Its neighbour stays on whatever version its plugins insist upon, and neither one disturbs the other. A document root belongs to each application on its own, keeping the files in order. All of them share a single quick NVMe server underneath, and that changes nothing. Consolidating a few projects or parking a staging copy beside production both suit this setup. Running a small handful of client sites fits the same pattern just as well. For a portfolio bigger than that, compare the website allowance tier by tier and choose headroom.

Which PHP versions and extensions are available?

Every bit of this happens in the control panel. Current PHP 8.x releases sit on the list, you pick one per site, and two applications on a single account can therefore run different versions, with no forced upgrade day ever arriving. Extensions go on and off according to what a given application asks for. GD and Imagick where images matter. mbstring and intl handle text, PDO sits beside cURL and the MySQL drivers, and after those come zip, bcmath, OPcache and the rest. One screen holds the php.ini values that heavier software cares about, so memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload ceilings are all in front of you, which gives a store swallowing a large product feed, or a platform taking in big media files, the headroom it wants. Nothing waits. Meeting the requirements sheet for Magento, Laravel or some elderly application turns into a two-minute job rather than a support ticket. Changes bite almost at once. Tuning for something new costs you next to no time.

Can you shift an application I currently run at a different host?

Yes, and nothing is charged. The platform makes no difference to that. Order the plan, then open a ticket handing us access to the host you are on now, and our engineers take the job from there. Files travel. The database goes with them, and so does the configuration that holds the two together. Once the build is reassembled on our servers, it gets tested until it loads and behaves the way it ought to, and all of that finishes before a single visitor notices any difference, which is how an unpleasant surprise surfaces ahead of launch rather than behind it. Checks done. We then help you repoint the name, and because most transfers close inside a day the disruption hardly registers. The routine holds for a WooCommerce or Magento store, a WordPress site, hand-written PHP or a project built on Laravel. It never varies. Anything odd about the setup belongs in the ticket: a cron entry that matters, an extension you depend on, a third-party service wired into the site. It comes over working.

Do different applications need different plans?

No, and the advice really does change from one platform to the next one. That is the reason every major application holds a page of its own here. Each page names the PHP release the software gets on with, plus the extensions it wants loaded. It also gives a rough figure for how much a busy install draws down. The tools you reach for day after day are set out on the same page. Machinery underneath the whole lot, though, is identical from one tier to the next. Quick NVMe storage carries the files, with LiteSpeed-class caching sitting right over the top. Free SSL reissues itself, and a copy of everything gets taken once a day. Support sits on duty round the clock, and that is true at every tier. What you are picking, then, is headroom and the number of sites you keep. It is not a different product, and moving up later leaves your build as it stands. For the shortest route, find the card covering your software above and read its notes. Then take whichever tier fits your traffic and the size of the catalogue behind it. Running several platforms side by side is fine, since any multi-site plan takes that mixture. We are glad to help you settle on the right size if you would rather ask.

Putting a forum online should not mean reading a manual. Choose the application, choose the name, press the button, and it is running. Hosting & Domains runs a single specification for everybody: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our London datacentre, and no quiet throttling of the cheaper tiers.

Aimed at anybody who wants an application deployed in under a minute. Pay for hosting and hosting is what turns up — a certificate, the move, nightly backups and engineers you can actually reach.

One click. Any of 240+ applications.

Softaculous sits in the panel carrying WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, phpBB, Nextcloud, Moodle and a couple of hundred more. It creates the database, sets the permissions, installs the software, keeps it patched on a schedule if you want, and clones any install to staging before you experiment.

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 price of installing: nothing

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 installer comes with every plan, the $2.42 tier included. There is no per-application charge and no premium level holding back the half of the catalogue you actually want.

What happens when you click install

Applications land on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, covered by nightly backups from the moment they exist. PHP versions are set per site, so an ageing application and a brand-new one share an account without friction.

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.

Still Curious

Questions that keep coming up

Who keeps a one-click install patched?

Softaculous can. It applies minor updates by itself, or holds them and tells you if you would rather test first. A nightly backup already exists before any update runs, so rolling back is two clicks rather than a support ticket.

Do I wait around after ordering?

The account provisions itself at checkout, so minutes rather than days. If an existing app needs bringing over, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the cutover so nothing goes offline.

Does the renewal price differ from the joining price?

It renews at the price you joined on. Where a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was printed beside it before you ordered, so nothing appears later.

What if one-click app 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.
