Joomla Hosting

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Joomla hosting?

  Joomla hosting is a type of web hosting service that is optimized for Joomla websites. It is powered by features that make launching and managing Joomla-powered projects easy. This includes things such as a one-click Joomla installation, automatic updates, free migration, and more. Joomla is the second largest platform for building websites nowadays, supported by almost all web hosting providers. The size and scope of your business will help you choose between shared and VPS Joomla hosting plans for the best fit.

• Which is better - Shared Joomla hosting or Joomla Cloud?

  Are you interested in allowing your website to grow to its fullest potential? Are you interested in optimizing your website speed, SEO and user experience? If that is the case, the Joomla Cloud is the right web hosting solution for you. It is the only type of service that can deliver guaranteed and consistent performance, high security, and constant uptime. On a shared server, your Joomla website will split resources with hundreds of other websites, which brings tones of disadvantages and growth barriers. Learn more in the video below.

• Which Joomla hosting plan is right for me?

  Once you know which is the right hosting solution for your website – shared or cloud -choosing the plan is easy. If you are on a mission to grow your website and you choose the Joomla Cloud, you can simply check how many users visit your pages in a month. If you get less than 400 000 visits - the Joomla Cloud VPS with 2 CPU cores and 4GB RAM is enough. For more visits, you need to add an additional CPU core for every 200 000. If you go for a shared Joomla hosting solution, just consider how many websites you want to host and how much space you need for them.
