Hosting for every app you want to run

Effectively all of them. Content systems like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and Concrete CMS; online stores including WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart; PHP frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony; community software like phpBB, MyBB and MediaWiki; learning platforms including Moodle; and any custom PHP application you write yourself. The Softaculous installer alone covers more than 240 popular scripts across those categories, and anything it does not list you can still install by hand over SSH or SFTP. Because the platform is a standard, well-equipped PHP and MySQL stack with selectable versions and the common extensions, most software written for shared hosting simply works. The main thing to check before you install is an app's own requirements — its supported PHP version and any extensions it needs — all of which you can set yourself from the control panel. If you are unsure, our team can confirm a specific app is a good fit.

Not for the popular platforms. With Softaculous you pick the app, choose the domain and folder it should live in, set an admin username and password, and the installer does the rest in seconds — it creates the database, writes the configuration and sets up your login, so there is nothing to edit by hand. That is how most people get WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla or Magento online here. Many of those installs can also keep themselves updated automatically, so you are not left running maintenance manually. If you would rather take full control — deploying your own code, a framework project or a script that is not in the catalogue — SFTP, SSH, Git and phpMyAdmin are all included, so the manual route is fully supported too. And whichever path you take, our support team is available around the clock to help with an install that does not go to plan.

Yes, on any plan that allows multiple websites. You can run several different apps side by side under one account — a WordPress blog, a Laravel dashboard and a Joomla site, for example — each with its own domain, its own database and its own settings, cleanly separated from the others. Because PHP versions are selectable per site, one app can run on the latest release while another stays on the version its plugins are certified against, with no conflict between them. Each application gets its own document root, so files stay tidy and isolated even though they share the same fast NVMe server underneath. This is ideal if you are consolidating a few projects, running a staging copy alongside a live site, or looking after a small portfolio of sites. If you expect to manage many separate client sites, check each plan's website limit and pick a tier with the headroom you need.

You can select from several current PHP 8.x versions per site, and even keep different apps on different versions within the same account, so you are never forced to upgrade everything at once. Alongside the version, you toggle the extensions your software needs — GD and Imagick for images, mbstring and intl for text handling, cURL, PDO and the MySQL drivers, OPcache, zip, bcmath and more — straight from the control panel. That makes it easy to match the exact requirements of Magento, Laravel or an older legacy application without opening a ticket. The same screen exposes the php.ini values busy apps care about, such as memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload size limits, so a store handling large product imports or a CMS accepting big media files has the headroom it needs. Switching a version or flipping an extension takes effect quickly, so tuning the environment to a new app is a couple of minutes' work.

We migrate it for you at no charge, whatever the platform. After you sign up, open a ticket with the details of your current host and our team moves the whole application across — the files, the database and the configuration that ties them together. We then load the app on our servers and check it renders and functions correctly before anything changes for your visitors, so problems are caught and fixed before go-live rather than after. When you are happy, we help you point your domain across, and because most transfers complete within about 24 hours, downtime is kept to a minimum. This works for a WordPress site, a WooCommerce or Magento store, a Laravel project or a bespoke PHP app alike. If your setup has any unusual pieces — a custom cron job, a specific extension, an external service — mention it in the ticket and we will make sure it comes across and keeps working.

Every major platform has its own page with guidance tuned to how that software actually runs — the PHP version and extensions it prefers, the resources a busy install tends to want, and the tools you will reach for. Under the surface, though, they all share the same foundation: fast NVMe storage, LiteSpeed-class caching, free auto-renewing SSL, daily automatic backups and 24/7 human support on every tier. That means you are choosing the amount of resource and the number of sites you need, not a fundamentally different product, and you can move up a plan later without reinstalling anything. So the best approach is to follow the link for your app in the grid above, read the advice specific to it, and pick the tier that matches your traffic and catalogue. If your project spans several apps, any multi-site plan will host them together, and our team can point you to the right fit if you are unsure.
