Every Application

Whatever you are putting up, the platform will run it

WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal, Joomla, Laravel, Magento or plain PHP — one click puts any of them live on NVMe hardware, with free SSL, a daily copy and engineers who answer.

Install In Seconds

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

An application launch shouldn't begin with database credentials and configuration files putting up a fight. Choose the software in Softaculous, point it at a name, and moments later it is live — set up, connected and holding a login open for you. Want to build it yourself instead? SFTP, SSH and phpMyAdmin are ready when you are.

The Complete Library

240+ applications, arranged by what you are building

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

Softaculous categories spanning content, store and community software

Blogs and newsrooms

One writer or a twelve-editor newsroom, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and Concrete CMS between them handle it.

Stores and checkouts

One click on WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or OpenCart delivers a working catalogue, basket and checkout.

Communities and forums

Build a community on phpBB, MyBB or Flarum, then give everything it knows a proper home in a MediaWiki-style wiki.

Courses and e-learning

Run lessons, quizzes and structured training on the likes of Moodle and Chamilo.

CRM and business tools

SuiteCRM and its peers keep customers and projects in a single view, with helpdesk, invoicing and task-board scripts beside them.

Frameworks and builds from scratch

Begin bespoke work on Laravel or Symfony, or start from plain PHP and shape every part yourself.

Why It Runs Well Here

The foundations an application needs to run properly

What holds an application quick and steady on NVMe hosting

Live after a couple of clicks

Inside Softaculous sit 240-plus ready-to-run applications, each a couple of clicks from installed — so setup never slows you and the build starts at once.

Quick now, quick at scale

Dynamic PHP keeps its edge as it grows — NVMe-class drives beneath, careful caching above, and no sag as pages and visitors multiply.

You set the PHP release

Assign a PHP version to each site independently, then switch extensions on in the panel until the software's requirements sheet is satisfied.

Patched, scanned, protected

Every application here sits behind free SSL, with malware scans on a schedule and platform patches that arrive before you ask.

Backed up daily

A fresh copy is taken every day, so a bad update, a broken theme or an unlucky plugin means one restore rather than a wrecked weekend.

People on call, at any hour

Engineers you can genuinely reach take on installs, moves and the occasional application quirk — any hour, every day of the year.

Developer Ready

Git, Composer and a real shell, with no tickets

Whether you are shipping a Laravel API or keeping an ageing PHP application on the road, the toolchain is identical and already installed. Pin the PHP release per site, fetch dependencies through Composer, deploy over Git and finish the job in SSH — no ticket queue 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

From idea to live site in three moves

Three moves that take a PHP application from install to live
  1. 1

    Choose your platform

    Settle on what is going up — WordPress, Magento, a Laravel project or a PHP application built entirely by you.

  2. 2

    Launch it

    Softaculous gets it running in seconds — or send your own code over SFTP and Git if hands-on deployment suits you better.

  3. 3

    Ship, then scale

    Connect the name, switch on free SSL, and step up a tier once traffic or catalogue size outgrows where you began.

Locked Down

Scanned, copied and watched without pause

Whatever an application runs on, it inherits that platform's security. So the stack stays patched, malware scans run on a steady rhythm, and free certificates reissue without a reminder. And with a fresh copy landing daily, a rogue plugin or a slipped command is one restore from undone.

  • 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

FAQ

Application hosting questions, answered

What software will these plans actually run?

Very nearly anything written against a PHP and MySQL stack. That covers content platforms — WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, Concrete CMS — alongside store software such as WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart, frameworks like Laravel and Symfony, community tools including phpBB, MyBB and MediaWiki, learning systems such as Moodle, and code you wrote yourself. Softaculous by itself carries more than 240 known scripts across those groups, and whatever falls outside the library goes in by hand over SSH or SFTP. The foundation is a standard, complete PHP and MySQL environment with selectable releases and the common extensions, so software aimed at shared hosting tends to run first time. Do check the application's own requirements before installing — the PHP version and extensions it wants are both adjustable from the panel. Got one particular application in mind? Tell us which and you will get a straight answer on whether it runs.

Is it possible to install something without touching code?

For the familiar platforms it is, with no code required at any stage. Softaculous handles the sequence: pick the application, point it at a name and folder, choose an admin username and password, and it builds the database, writes the configuration file and hands back a ready login. That is how most Joomla, Magento, WordPress and WooCommerce installs here begin, and plenty keep themselves patched afterwards with no help from you. Prefer full manual control? Putting up your own code, raising a framework project or installing something the library does not list is equally well served: SFTP, SSH, Git and phpMyAdmin arrive with every account. And whichever path you take, an engineer is reachable at any hour if an install refuses to cooperate.

Can several applications share one account?

They can, as long as your plan's website allowance covers more than one site. Different applications sit happily side by side — a Joomla site, a WordPress journal and a Laravel dashboard, say — each holding its own name, database and configuration with clean separation between them. PHP versions are set per site, so one application can run the newest release while a neighbour stays on the version its plugins expect, and neither disturbs the other. Each application also gets its own document root, keeping files organised even though everything shares one quick NVMe server. That layout suits consolidating a few projects, parking a staging copy beside production, or quietly running a handful of sites for clients. Looking after a larger portfolio? Compare the website allowance on each tier and take one with headroom.

Which PHP versions and extensions are available?

You get a spread of current PHP 8.x releases, chosen per site, so applications on the same account can run different versions and no forced upgrade day ever arrives. Extensions go on and off to suit whatever an application asks for — GD and Imagick for images, mbstring and intl for text, PDO, cURL and the MySQL drivers, plus zip, bcmath, OPcache and the rest — every one of them from inside the control panel. Meeting the requirements sheet for Magento, Laravel or a legacy application becomes a two-minute panel job rather than a support ticket. The same screen exposes the php.ini values heavier software cares about — memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload ceilings — so a store swallowing a large product feed or a platform taking big media files has room to do it. Version and extension changes apply almost instantly, so tuning for a new application barely slows you down.

Will you move the application I already run elsewhere?

We will, at no cost and for any platform. Once ordered, raise a ticket with access to your current host and the engineers carry it from there: files, database, and the configuration holding the two together. The application is rebuilt on our servers and tested until it loads and behaves correctly, all before your visitors see any change, so surprises appear before launch rather than after. Once everything checks out we help you repoint the name, and with most transfers finished inside a day the disruption barely registers. The same routine handles a Magento or WooCommerce store, a WordPress site, bespoke PHP or a Laravel project. Whatever is unusual about the setup — a particular cron entry, a required extension, an integrated third-party service — belongs in the ticket, and it arrives working.

Do different applications need different plans?

Not really — each major platform gets a page of its own here because the guidance differs: preferred PHP release and extensions, the resources a busy install typically draws, and the tooling you will actually use. But every one of those pages sits on a single shared platform: quick NVMe storage, LiteSpeed-class caching, free self-reissuing SSL, a daily copy and round-the-clock support on all tiers. So the question is really resources and site count rather than which product to buy, and an upgrade later never means rebuilding a thing. The simplest route: follow the card for your application earlier on this page, read its notes, and take the tier matching your traffic and catalogue. Running several platforms at once? Any multi-site plan carries that mixture, and we are glad to help you settle on a size.

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.

  • 240+ applications via Softaculous
  • One-click cloning plus automatic updates

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.
