  • Auto-updates on supported applications
  • Manual installs always an option

The Complete Library

240+ apps, grouped around whatever you are building

The household names are just the start. Softaculous spans whole categories of install-ready PHP software — here's the map.

Softaculous categories covering CMS, ecommerce and community software titles

Blogs and newsrooms

A solo journal or a twelve-editor newsroom, either way WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and Concrete CMS will cover it.

Stores and checkouts

Click once on WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or OpenCart and a working catalogue, cart and checkout appear.

Communities and forums

Build a community on phpBB, MyBB or Flarum, then house everything it collectively knows inside a MediaWiki-style wiki where people can find it.

Courses and e-learning

Run lessons, quizzes and structured training through platforms of the Moodle and Chamilo sort.

CRM and business tools

SuiteCRM and its equivalents keep customers and projects visible in a single view, with helpdesk, invoicing and task-board scripts installed beside them.

Frameworks and from-scratch builds

Begin custom work on Laravel or Symfony, or start from plain PHP and shape every part of it yourself.

Why It Flies Here

What an application needs underneath to run properly

How NVMe hosting keeps applications quick and holding steady

Live after a couple of clicks

Softaculous holds 240-plus ready-to-run applications, every one of them a couple of clicks from installed. Setup stops being the bottleneck, and the build begins straight away.

Fast now, fast at scale

Dynamic PHP keeps its edge while it grows. NVMe-class drives sit underneath, strict caching layers over the top, and nothing slows down as pages and visitors multiply.

You set the PHP release

Give each site its own PHP version, then flick extensions on or off inside the panel until the software's requirements sheet is completely met.

Patched, scanned, protected

Free SSL fronts every app on the platform. Malware scans run to a schedule, and patches land before anybody thinks to ask for them.

Backed up daily

Every day a fresh copy gets taken. A bad update, a broken theme, a plugin that turned nasty: all of them come down to one restore rather than a ruined weekend.

Humans on call, 24/7

Engineers you can actually get hold of will take on installs, migrations and the odd app quirk, at any hour, on every day of the year.

Developer Ready

Git, Composer and genuine shell access, no tickets needed

Shipping a Laravel API, or nursing an ageing PHP app along? Either way the toolchain is identical and already installed. Pin the PHP release per site, pull dependencies down through Composer, deploy over Git, then finish the job in SSH. No ticket queue stands 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

Three moves from idea to live site

The three moves carrying a PHP app from install through to live
  1. 1

    Choose your platform

    Decide what's going live: WordPress, Magento, a Laravel project, or a PHP application you wrote from scratch yourself, line by line.

  2. 2

    Launch it

    Softaculous has it running within seconds. Rather do the deployment by hand? Send your own code across via SFTP and Git instead.

  3. 3

    Ship, then scale

    Attach your domain, switch free SSL on, then climb a tier the day traffic or catalogue size outgrows the plan you started on.

All Included

Standard on every app plan

  • One-click installs via Softaculous
  • 240+ apps ready to deploy
  • Per-site choice of PHP release
  • Git, Composer and WP-CLI on tap
  • Access over SSH and SFTP
  • MySQL and phpMyAdmin access
  • Free SSL that renews itself
  • NVMe-class storage throughout
  • Automatic daily backups
  • Scheduled cron tasks, remote MySQL
  • Free engineer-run migration
  • Round-the-clock human support

Locked Down

Scanned, copied and monitored non-stop

Any application inherits the security of the thing it runs on. Which is why the stack stays patched, malware scans keep to a steady rhythm, and free certificates renew without anybody prompting them. A fresh backup lands every day too, so a rogue plugin or a command typed wrong sits one restore away 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

FAQ

App hosting questions, answered

What software can these plans actually run?

Nearly anything written against a PHP and MySQL stack. CMS platforms qualify: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, Concrete CMS. So does store software along the lines of WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart, plus frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony, community tools including phpBB, MyBB and MediaWiki, learning systems like Moodle, and whatever you wrote yourself. Softaculous on its own lists more than 240 recognised scripts spread across those groups. Anything sitting outside that library installs by hand over SSH or SFTP. Underneath everything is a standard, complete PHP and MySQL environment with selectable releases and the usual extensions, which is why software aimed at shared hosting normally runs first time. Do read the application's own requirements before installing, though. Both the PHP version it wants and the extensions it needs can be adjusted from the panel. Have one particular app in mind? Send us the name and you'll get a straight answer about whether it runs here.

Is it possible to install an app without writing code?

For the well-known platforms, yes, and no code enters into it at any stage. Softaculous walks the sequence: choose the application, aim it at a domain and folder, set an admin username and password, and it creates the database, writes the config file and hands you back a login that already works. Most Joomla, Magento, WordPress and WooCommerce installs here start precisely like that, and plenty keep themselves patched afterwards without you lifting a finger. Want the manual route instead? Deploying your own code, standing up a framework project, or installing something the Softaculous library has never heard of is equally well provided for, since SFTP, SSH, Git and phpMyAdmin ship with every account. Whichever way you go, an engineer is reachable at any hour when an install digs its heels in.

Can I run several different applications inside a single hosting account?

Yes, provided the website allowance on your plan stretches past a single site. Different applications sit happily beside one another. Picture a Joomla site, a WordPress blog and a Laravel dashboard on the same account, each with its own domain, its own database and its own configuration, kept cleanly apart. PHP versions are set per site, so one app can run the newest release while its neighbour stays on whatever version its plugins expect, and neither bothers the other. Every application also gets a document root of its own, which keeps files tidy even though the whole lot shares one quick NVMe server. That arrangement suits anybody consolidating a few projects, parking a staging copy next to production, or quietly looking after a handful of client sites. Running a larger portfolio? Compare the website allowance on each tier and pick one with room to spare.

Which PHP versions and extensions are available?

You get a spread of current PHP 8.x releases, chosen per site, which means two apps on one account can sit on different versions and no forced upgrade day ever lands in your inbox. Extensions go on and off to suit what each application demands: GD and Imagick for image work, mbstring and intl for text, PDO, cURL and the MySQL drivers, then zip, bcmath, OPcache and others besides. All of that happens in the control panel. Satisfying the requirements sheet for Magento, Laravel or some ageing legacy application turns into a two-minute panel job rather than a support ticket. That same screen exposes the php.ini values heavier software cares about, memory_limit, max_execution_time and the upload ceilings among them, so a store swallowing a big product feed or a CMS taking large media files has the room to do it. Version and extension changes take effect almost instantly, so tuning for a new app barely costs you time.

Will you move the application I currently run somewhere else?

We can, free of charge, on any platform. Once you've ordered, raise a ticket carrying the access details for your current host and our engineers pick the move up from there: files, database, and the configuration that ties the two together. The application gets rebuilt on our servers and tested until it loads and behaves the way it should, all of it finished before a single visitor notices anything, which puts the surprises before launch rather than after. When everything checks out, we help you repoint the domain. Most transfers are done inside a day and the disruption hardly registers. The same routine handles a Magento or WooCommerce store, a WordPress site, bespoke PHP, or a Laravel project. Anything odd about the setup, a particular cron job, a required extension, an integrated third-party service, belongs in the ticket, and we make certain it lands here working.

Do different applications need different plans?

Not really. Each major platform has a page of its own here because the advice changes from one to the next: which PHP release and extensions suit it, how much a busy install typically draws, what tooling you end up using day to day. Underneath, though, all those pages describe one shared platform. Quick NVMe storage, LiteSpeed-class caching, free self-renewing SSL, daily backups and 24/7 support arrive on every tier. So the question that matters is resources and how many sites you run, not which product to buy, and moving up later never means rebuilding a thing. Easiest route? Find the card for your application further up this page, read the notes on it, and take the tier that matches your traffic and catalogue. Several platforms going at once? Any multi-site plan carries the mix, and we are happy to help you settle on a size.

Putting a forum online should not require reading a manual. Pick the application, pick the domain, hit the button — it is live. HostingFast runs one spec for everyone: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our London datacentre, and no quiet throttling of the smaller tiers.

Pitched at anyone who wants an app deployed in under a minute. Pay for hosting and hosting is what arrives — free SSL, a free move, daily backups and engineers within reach whenever you need them.

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.

Driving a hosting account through the cPanel dashboard

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

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.
