Apps / Joomla
Managed Joomla hosting.
One server, no app limits.
The veteran CMS, still the right answer for many migrations. We move existing sites in free.
What it is
Joomla is the veteran PHP CMS for structured sites: multilingual out of the box, fine-grained access control, and a template system that agencies have trusted for two decades.
Minimum RAM
1 GB
Fits on SC-1GB; SC-2GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current Joomla on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, a tuned MariaDB, HTTPS issued and forced, SEF URLs enabled, working scheduled tasks, and server-level caching configured.
What managed covers
PHP, database, and server updates; daily snapshots and dual offsite backups; monitoring with people behind it; the managed firewall and mail gateway. Extensions and templates are your territory; the platform is ours.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Joomla hosting include?
The install, the tuning, and the operations: PHP and database kept current, SSL, caching, backups, monitoring, firewall, and mail that delivers. Joomla runs best on a server someone actually maintains, and that someone is us.
Why run Joomla on a managed VPS instead of shared hosting?
Joomla's strengths, access levels, multilingual content, custom fields, tend to appear on exactly the sites that outgrow shared hosting: portals, member sites, organizations. Non-oversold resources keep the admin snappy, and management means core updates and PHP transitions stop being your weekend project.
Can Joomla share a server with other apps?
Yes, as many as fit. Matomo for analytics and Uptime Kuma for monitoring are the usual companions, and a stacked BookStack or Nextcloud for the same organization costs nothing extra. One server, one bill.
Will you migrate my Joomla site?
Yes, free, including the awkward ones. We move files, database, and templates, verify extensions against the new PHP version, and you approve everything before DNS switches. Downtime is not part of the plan.
Stack it

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Joomla need?
1 GB runs a typical Joomla site with its database comfortably. Large multilingual sites or busy member portals want 2 GB.
Do you handle Joomla core updates?
The server and PHP stay current as part of management, and core security releases are applied with a snapshot first. Major version migrations we plan with you rather than spring on you.
What about old Joomla versions?
If your site is on an end-of-life Joomla, we will still host and protect it while you plan the upgrade, and the migration to current Joomla is something we help with rather than a reason to turn you away.
