Select the software in Softaculous, point it at a domain, and moments later it's live — set up, connected and holding a login open for you. Want to build it yourself instead? SFTP, SSH and phpMyAdmin are ready when you are.

- Auto-updates on supported applications
- Manual installs always an option
The Complete Library
240+ apps, arranged around what you're building
The household names are just the start. Softaculous spans whole categories of install-ready PHP software — here's the map.
Blogs and newsrooms
From a solo journal to a twelve-editor newsroom, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and Concrete CMS have it handled.
Stores and checkouts
One click on WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or OpenCart delivers a working catalog, cart and checkout.
Communities and forums
Grow a community with phpBB, MyBB or Flarum, then give its collective knowledge a proper home in a MediaWiki-style wiki.
Courses and e-learning
Deliver lessons, quizzes and structured training on platforms such as Moodle and Chamilo.
CRM and business tools
SuiteCRM and comparable platforms hold customers and projects in one view; helpdesk, invoicing and task-board scripts sit alongside.
Frameworks and from-scratch builds
Start bespoke work on Laravel or Symfony, or open with plain PHP and shape every piece yourself.
Why It Flies Here
The foundations an application needs to run right
Live after a couple of clicks
Inside Softaculous sit 240-plus ready-to-run applications, each a couple of clicks from installed — so setup never slows you down and the build starts immediately.
Fast now, fast at scale
Dynamic PHP stays sharp as it grows: NVMe-class drives underneath, disciplined caching on top, and no drag as pages and visitors multiply.
You set the PHP release
Assign a PHP version to each site independently, then toggle extensions in the panel until the software's requirements sheet is fully satisfied.
Patched, scanned, protected
Each app here sits behind free SSL, with malware scans on a schedule and platform patches that arrive before you ever ask.
Backed up daily
A fresh copy is taken every day, so a bad update, a busted theme or an unlucky plugin means one restore, not a wrecked weekend.
Humans on call, 24/7
Engineers you can genuinely reach take on installs, migrations and the occasional app quirk — any hour, every day of the year.
Developer Ready
Git, Composer and real shell access, zero tickets
Whether you're shipping a Laravel API or keeping an ageing PHP app on the road, the toolchain is identical and already installed. Pin the PHP release per site, fetch dependencies through Composer, deploy over Git and finish the job in SSH — no ticket queue between you and a settings change.
- Per-site PHP version control
- Git and Composer ready on day one
- Shell access and cron scheduling
- phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL access
Quick Start
Idea to live site in three moves
- 1
Choose your platform
Settle on what is going live — WordPress, Magento, a Laravel project or a PHP application built entirely by you.
- 2
Launch it
Softaculous gets it running in seconds — or ship your own code over SFTP and Git if hands-on deployment is more your speed.
- 3
Ship, then scale
Connect your domain, flip on free SSL, and step up a tier once traffic or catalog size outgrows where you began.

Locked Down
Scanned, copied and monitored non-stop
An application inherits the security of whatever it runs on. So the stack stays patched, malware scans run on a steady rhythm, and free certificates renew without a reminder. And with a fresh backup landing daily, a rogue plugin or a slipped command is one restore from undone.
- Free SSL per app, renewing itself
- Platform patching plus malware scans
- A daily restore point for every site
- DDoS filtering on a monitored network

App hosting questions, answered
What software can these plans actually run?
Almost anything written for a PHP and MySQL stack. That covers CMS platforms — WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, Concrete CMS — alongside store software such as WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart, frameworks like Laravel and Symfony, community tools including phpBB, MyBB and MediaWiki, learning systems such as Moodle, and code you built yourself. Softaculous alone lists more than 240 recognised scripts across those groups, and anything outside its library installs by hand over SSH or SFTP. The foundation is a standard, complete PHP and MySQL environment with selectable releases and the common extensions, so software targeting shared hosting tends to run first time. Do check the application's own requirements before you install — the PHP version and extensions it wants are both adjustable from the panel. Got one specific app in mind? Tell us what it is and you will get a straight answer on whether it will run.
Can I install an application without touching code?
For the well-known platforms, yes — no code needed at any point. Softaculous handles the sequence: pick the application, point it at a domain and folder, choose an admin username and password, and it builds the database, writes the config file and hands back a ready login. Most Joomla, Magento, WordPress and WooCommerce installs here begin exactly that way, and many keep themselves patched afterwards without your involvement. Prefer full manual control? Deploying your own code, standing up a framework project or installing something outside the Softaculous library is just as well catered for — SFTP, SSH, Git and phpMyAdmin come with every account. And whichever path you pick, an engineer is reachable at any hour if an install refuses to cooperate.
Is it possible to run multiple apps on a single account?
It is, as long as your plan's website allowance covers more than one site. Different applications live happily side by side — say a Joomla site, a WordPress blog and a Laravel dashboard — each holding its own domain, database and configuration with clean separation between them. PHP versions are set per site, so one app can run the latest release while a neighbour stays on the version its plugins expect, and neither disturbs the other. Each application also receives its own document root, keeping files organised even though everything shares one quick NVMe server. That layout suits consolidating a few projects, parking a staging copy next to production, or quietly managing a handful of sites for clients. Looking after a bigger portfolio? Compare the website allowance on each tier and choose one with headroom.
Which PHP versions and extensions are available?
You get a spread of current PHP 8.x releases, selected per site, meaning apps on the same account can run different versions and no forced upgrade day ever arrives. Extensions switch on and off to match what each application demands — GD and Imagick for image work, mbstring and intl for text, PDO, cURL and the MySQL drivers, alongside zip, bcmath, OPcache and more — all handled inside the control panel. Meeting the requirements sheet for Magento, Laravel or a legacy application becomes a two-minute panel job instead of a support ticket. The same screen exposes the php.ini values heavier software cares about — memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload ceilings — so a store swallowing a big product feed or a CMS taking large media files has the space to do it. Version and extension changes apply almost instantly, so tuning for a new app barely slows you down.
Can you migrate the application I already run elsewhere?
We can, at no cost and for any platform. After ordering, open a ticket with your current host's access details and our engineers take the move from there — files, database and the configuration binding the two together. The application is rebuilt on our servers and tested until it loads and behaves correctly, all before your visitors see any change, so surprises appear pre-launch instead of post. Once everything checks out we help you repoint the domain, and with most transfers wrapped up inside a day, the disruption barely registers. The same process covers a Magento or WooCommerce store, a WordPress site, bespoke PHP or a Laravel project. Anything unusual in the setup — a particular cron job, a required extension, an integrated third-party service — goes in the ticket, and we make certain it arrives working.
Do different applications need different plans?
Not really — each major platform gets its own page here because the guidance differs: preferred PHP release and extensions, the resources a busy install typically draws, and the tooling you will actually use. But every one of those pages sits on a single shared platform: quick NVMe storage, LiteSpeed-class caching, free self-renewing SSL, daily backups and 24/7 support on all tiers. The real question is therefore resources and site count, not which product to buy — and a later upgrade never means rebuilding anything. Simplest route: follow the card for your application earlier on this page, read its notes, and pick the tier matching your traffic and catalog. Running several platforms at once? Any multi-site plan carries the mix, and we will gladly help you settle on the right size.

One click. Any of 240+ applications.
Softaculous lives in the panel carrying WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, phpBB, Nextcloud, Moodle and a couple of hundred more. It builds the database, sets permissions, installs the software, keeps it patched on a schedule if you like, and clones any install to staging before you experiment.
Speed is engineered in, not bolted on with a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads instant, LiteSpeed responds over HTTP/2, and the server caches before your application lifts a finger.
The price of installing: nothing
Hosting's oldest move is a cheap first year and a quiet hike at renewal. HostingFast runs the opposite way: the number you join at is the number that renews, and anything promotional is flagged on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so a test run risks nothing but an afternoon.
The installer ships with every plan, the $2.42 tier included. No per-application charge, and no premium level gatekeeping the half of the catalogue you actually want.
What happens when you click install
Applications land on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, covered by daily backups from the second they exist. PHP versions set per site, so an ageing app and a brand-new one share an account without friction.
Support runs every hour of the day, staffed by the people who administer these servers, with a first reply targeted inside 2 hours — 1 hour when a site is down. No tier hands you off to a bot.
- 240+ applications via Softaculous
- One-click cloning plus automatic updates
- DDoS traffic filtered at the network edge
- Our own engineers handle all patching

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Who keeps a one-click install patched?
Softaculous can. It applies minor updates automatically, or holds off and notifies you if you prefer testing first. A daily backup already exists before any update fires, so rollback is two clicks, never a support ticket.
Do I wait around after ordering?
The account provisions itself at checkout — minutes, not days. If an existing app needs bringing over, our migration team typically wraps up inside 24 hours and schedules the cutover so nothing goes offline.
Is the renewal rate different from the joining rate?
The plan renews at your joining price. If a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was shown beside it before you ordered — nothing surfaces later.
What if one-click app hosting is not right for me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say the word within the month and the refund goes through — no exit interview, no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue with you.
