Quick Launch
Joomla, live without the palaver
Nothing to download, no folder to unzip, and no configuration file sitting there waiting for a hand edit. The installer writes Joomla's files and its database, sets up the admin login you choose, and hands back a working site in about a minute. Put up as many installs as your tier permits. When a fresh release lands, one click brings each core up to date again.
- Install Joomla from the control panel
- Database and configuration handled for you
- Keep several Joomla installs side by side
- Update the core in a couple of clicks
What You Get
All a Joomla site could reasonably ask for
Joomla installed in a click
Start one from the control panel and the install lands in about sixty seconds. You create no database, hand-edit no configuration file, and open no FTP client at all.
PHP dials you can turn
Change PHP versions when it suits you, and set memory_limit, max_execution_time and upload caps for each site separately, so Joomla and its extensions run in the conditions they want.
Extensions go in cleanly
Components, modules and templates go in without a permissions argument. Full file access, database access and SSH mean even the awkward extensions settle down.
LiteSpeed doing the caching
NVMe drives, plus LiteSpeed caching on the server side, serve Joomla pages straight from memory, and load times hold steady while the content library and the audience both grow.
A nightly copy, taken for you
Each site keeps its own backup schedule, and a restore takes a couple of clicks. A rough extension update, or an edit you wish you had not made, therefore costs you minutes instead of a whole weekend.
Domain and SSL included
Choose an annual plan and the first year of your domain is covered, along with an SSL certificate that reissues itself. From launch onward the site looks right and the traffic stays encrypted.
Speed And Tuning
PHP tuned to suit you, caching wound right up
No Joomla site runs faster than the PHP underneath it. Pick the release for each site yourself, then adjust memory, execution time, upload limits and which extensions stay active, so nothing ends up throttled or switched off by accident. LiteSpeed and NVMe caching take over from there, handing pages out of memory and holding the pace whether a single visitor turns up or a thousand of them arrive together on the same afternoon.
- A PHP version chosen per site
- Limits adjusted, extensions toggled
- Page and object caching by LiteSpeed
- NVMe storage under every install
Extend With Ease
Components, modules and templates, sorted
Extensions are where Joomla's real strength lies, so we keep out of the way. Full file and database access means components, modules, plugins and templates go in without any permission trouble, and should one want a particular PHP extension or a larger upload cap, you switch that on yourself rather than asking. Developers, meanwhile, have SSH, Git and Composer for building and shipping custom work of their own.
- Full file access for clean installs
- 100 MySQL databases at your disposal
- SSH, Git and Composer on hand
- Switch on whichever PHP extensions you need

Built-In Protection
Copied nightly, and guarded from the first day
Strip a Joomla site back and it is files, a database and a stack of extensions working together, so all three get covered. Daily automatic backups leave a rough update or a bad edit two clicks from being undone. Free SSL keeps traffic encrypted. Malware scanning stays on watch throughout. That is why trying a new template stops feeling like a gamble you are taking with the site.
- Backups running automatically, daily
- Restore it yourself in one click
- SSL included and reissuing itself
- Malware scanning across every site
Suits
Fitted to however you work with Joomla
Publishers and community sites
Magazines, membership portals and community hubs suit the multilingual handling and access levels Joomla ships with, and caching keeps every one of them quick.
Agencies and site builders
Drive every client install from a single control panel, and give each one its own PHP settings, its own SSH access, and space to park a staging copy beside it.
Developers and integrators
With SSH, Git, Composer and remote MySQL access, you can build custom Joomla components and ship them through whatever workflow you already trust.
How It Works
Three steps and the site is live
- 1
Pick your Joomla tier
One site on Launch. Pro and Elite reach as far as 100. The one-click installer, the PHP dials, caching and backups come stocked at every tier.
- 2
Install fresh or hand it over
Put up a fresh Joomla install with one click. Or hand the site you already run to our team, who move the files, the database and the extensions for nothing, usually inside 24 hours.
- 3
Build it out, then scale
Load in your extensions and templates, tune the PHP configuration to suit them, then leave LiteSpeed caching and the nightly backups to get on with it while we keep watch.

Upgrade Path
Moving from Joomla 3 up to Joomla 5
Joomla 3 is no longer supported. Here is what a clean move to Joomla 5 involves — or hand the job to us and skip it entirely.
- 1
Take stock of your extensions
List out every component, module, plugin and template you actually use, then confirm each one has a build that runs on Joomla 4 and 5. Most upgrades come unstuck right here.
- 2
Update fully, then step across
Get the Joomla 3 install fully current first, then run Joomla's own migration wizard through to 4 and on to 5. Do all of it on a staging copy, which your plan already allows for.
- 3
Check it over, then publish
Click through the menus, the forms and the templates on that staging copy, take one more backup, and then switch across. Or skip the whole exercise and have our team run the migration, free.
Joomla living with another host? We will bring it over for nothing.
Files, database, extensions and templates moved with no downtime, usually within 24 hours of the request.

What Joomla users ask us
What is the fastest route to a working Joomla install?
Use the one-click installer sitting inside cPanel, which runs on Softaculous. Open it, pick Joomla out of the 240-plus applications listed there, say which domain or subfolder it belongs in, set an admin username and password, and Softaculous builds the files and the database and has the job done in roughly a minute. Nothing is downloaded, nothing unzipped, no configuration file gets edited by hand, and an FTP client never enters into it. Run the installer as often as your plan's site allowance permits, which makes standing a staging copy up beside a live site nearly trivial. Softaculous also keeps a record of what went where, so a later Joomla core update is one click instead of a manual routine. Would you sooner bring an existing site over than start from blank? We will move your current Joomla install at no charge, files, database and extensions all included.
Am I able to pick and swap the PHP version myself?
You can. Which PHP 8.x release a given site runs is set in cPanel, and you may change it whenever the need arises, which helps when a template or an extension asks for one particular version. The settings Joomla leans on are yours as well: memory_limit, max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, along with switching individual PHP extensions on or off site by site. That counts for something, because a busy Joomla install carrying plenty of components will push past the default ceilings, and big media uploads or data imports want elbow room. OPcache forms part of the stack too, holding compiled PHP in memory so pages render faster. Each site's PHP configuration stands on its own, so one install can sit on a newer branch while another stays put on an older one, and each moves forward when it suits rather than all at once.
Do my existing Joomla extensions and templates carry on working?
They will. Full file access, as many as 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases, phpMyAdmin and SSH are all at your disposal, which means components, modules, plugins and templates go in cleanly, without the permission battles certain hosts manufacture. Should an extension want a specific PHP module or a bigger upload ceiling, you turn it on yourself in cPanel instead of raising a ticket and waiting on somebody. The difference tells most on demanding sites built around directory, forms, ecommerce or membership extensions, since those carry requirements of their own. Developers on custom builds have SSH, Git and Composer for handling dependencies and deploying the way they always have. Cron jobs are there as well, for extensions doing scheduled work such as newsletter sends or index rebuilds. With automatic daily backups ticking over underneath, trying a new template or component costs you very little. If it misbehaves, roll it back.
How does caching speed a Joomla site up?
Pure NVMe SSD storage carries the site, with LiteSpeed caching and HTTP/2 on top, and that is a genuine step up from a conventional hosting setup. Instead of rebuilding a page for every visitor, LiteSpeed hands rendered pages and static files out of memory directly, while OPcache keeps compiled PHP standing by so the server does less work per request. Stack Joomla's own page and module caching above that and a repeat visit loads almost instantly. Where the benefit really shows is a surge: a newsletter going out, or a post that travels further than you expected. A crowd arrives at once, and cached pages soak up the load rather than PHP and MySQL wearing the full weight of it. NVMe storage quickens the database work behind menus, articles and search results too. The upshot is a Joomla site that keeps performing as content and audience grow, and nobody asks you to tune anything by hand.
Are backups taken for me, and can I restore the site myself?
Yes. Automatic backups run daily on every plan, and restoring is entirely your business. From cPanel you can roll a whole site back, or just one database, in a couple of clicks, and no ticket is required to do it. That safety net changes how you approach any change: updating the Joomla core, trying a new template, adding a component, all of it becomes reversible, so a problem turns into a quick restore rather than a real setback. Files and database are both captured, which means you get the whole site handed back in working order, not half of it. Taking a fresh backup right before anything significant is sound practice, as is rehearsing big updates on a staging copy, something your plan's site allowance makes straightforward. Unsure which restore point to pick? Our support team is reachable at any hour and will help you choose.
Will you shift my existing Joomla site over to Hosting Seller?
Yes, and there is nothing to pay for it. After you sign up, open a ticket with the details of your present host. We pull the Joomla files across, along with the database, the extensions and the templates, rebuild the site on our platform, and check that menus, components and modules all behave before a visitor spots anything odd. Roughly 24 hours covers most transfers. The final DNS switch gets agreed with you, which takes downtime out of it, and the old site carries on untouched until you have given the new copy your blessing. On an older Joomla, or an older PHP? Tell us, and we will recommend the safest route across. Daily backups run automatically from the moment the site lands on our servers, and a free SSL certificate that reissues itself is applied to the domain, so the migrated site is encrypted from day one.

Browse Joomla PlansJoomla sites are often older than the people maintaining them. What they need is a current PHP release, a real backup and somebody patching the server underneath. Behind the counter: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, redundant our London datacentre and engineers who are awake at three in the morning.
Stocked for owners keeping a Joomla site on the road: free SSL on every domain, a free transfer from your old host, automatic daily backups, and no surprises between the price tag and the invoice.
Joomla up and locked down
Install Joomla in a click, pick the PHP version your extensions expect and let LiteSpeed cache the front end. An older template that still wants an earlier PHP release can have one on its own site, while a newer build runs on 8.x in the same account.
Speed here comes out of the stack rather than out of a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads short, LiteSpeed answers over HTTP/2, and caching happens at the server before your application is asked to do any work at all.
What a Joomla site costs
The oldest trick in hosting is a cheap first year followed by a quiet increase. Hosting Seller prices the other way: the figure you sign up at is the figure that renews, and anything promotional says so on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying us out costs you an afternoon at worst.
Joomla runs on the same plans as everything else, from $2.42 a month. No CMS surcharge, no extension licence from us, and the renewal figure matches the one you started on.
How Joomla runs on the platform
Joomla sites sit on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, in our London datacentre with edge DDoS filtering. A daily backup runs whether or not the backup extension you installed three years ago is still working.
Support is staffed every hour by people who administer these servers, and first replies usually land inside 15 minutes. There is no tier where you get handed to a bot instead.
- One-click Joomla install and updates
- PHP version chosen per site
- Daily backups with self-service restores
- Free SSL fitted and renewed automatically

Still Asking
Other questions that keep coming up
My Joomla site is on an old version — can you still host it?
Yes, and we will help you bring it up to date. Clone it to a staging address, update Joomla and the extensions there, then switch once it works. If an abandoned extension blocks the upgrade, our desk tells you straight rather than letting you find out at launch.
How soon can I be up and running?
Checkout provisions the account automatically — minutes rather than days. If there is an existing site to bring across, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the switch so nothing goes dark.
Will the price change at renewal?
The same tag, the same amount. We do not run an introductory price that quietly doubles once you have settled in.
What if Joomla hosting is not the right fit?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the plan. Ask inside the month and you get your money back: no exit interview, and nobody transferring you to a team whose job is talking you out of it.
