At a glance
Joomla here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- 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.
- 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 optional Dual Backups; monitoring with people behind it; the managed firewall, and the optional MailChannels relay. Extensions and templates are your territory; the platform is ours.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.
Your options
Three ways to run Joomla.
Installing Joomla is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged Joomla, from $5/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing Joomla | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |
| When something breaks | You fix it | You fix it | Our engineers fix it, day or night |
Built for
What people run on Joomla here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
Community and association sites
Joomla's access levels and user groups handle members-only areas without a plugin pile.
Multilingual sites out of the box
Native language management runs circles around bolt-on translation plugins. One install, many languages.
Sites outgrowing page builders
Real template control and structured content for teams who want more than drag-and-drop lets them say.
Long-lived institutional sites
Joomla installs from 2010 are still online for a reason: stable core, predictable updates, on a server you control.
Stack it
Joomla works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as Joomla, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.
Pick your server
Choose the size. Joomla is $0.
Joomla needs 1 GB. Bigger servers leave room for the apps you stack beside it. Every size is fully managed, and you can resize in minutes.

The details
Joomla here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run 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.
FAQ
Joomla hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
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.
Can you migrate an old Joomla 3 site?
We migrate the files and database as they are, free. The Joomla 3 to 4/5 upgrade itself is application work: doable, sometimes fiddly with old extensions, and our team can quote it on Fully Managed.
Which PHP version does Joomla get?
Current Joomla runs on a modern PHP with OPcache enabled out of the box. You hold root, so pinning a different version for a legacy extension takes minutes.
Is this Joomla on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Joomla runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing Joomla?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Joomla runs. You sleep.
