Driving a hosting account through the cPanel dashboard

Zero to Live

A single click stands between you and a working CMS

The download-unzip-configure ritual can go. Instead the app installer writes your CMS files, builds the database, sets the admin login up, and hands back a working site in about a minute. WordPress, Joomla and Drupal will run side by side on a single plan, installs can be added right up to your tier's allowance, and every core stays current through one-click updates.

  • 100+ apps besides WordPress, Joomla and Drupal
  • Admin login and database created automatically
  • Multiple CMS platforms per account
  • Two-click core updates

Fitted as Standard

Everything a content platform leans on, already in place

The control panel showing instant CMS installs and automated updates running

One click, any platform

WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and 100-plus other apps install straight from the panel. Files, database and an admin login sit ready in roughly a minute.

Pages straight from memory

Sitting on NVMe drives, LiteSpeed and server-side page caching hand pages out of memory, which holds the speed steady as content piles up and visitor numbers climb.

Secure out of the gate

Free auto-renewing SSL, a managed firewall and malware scanning arrive with each install, and the defaults are tuned to close off whichever routes CMS attackers try first.

Hands-free updates

Core software, themes, plugins and extensions stay current without you touching them, and known conflicts get screened out before anything reaches your live site.

Nightly snapshots

Each night a copy of every site is taken automatically, and rolling back takes two clicks. A bad update or an edit made by mistake costs you minutes, not days.

Domain and SSL included

Take any annual plan and the first year of domain registration comes with it, SSL alongside, so your CMS goes live branded and encrypted from minute one.

A performance-test needle sweeping hard to the right

Built for Speed

Cached once, served from memory

A CMS never outruns the server underneath it. Ours puts NVMe storage together with LiteSpeed and server-side caching, so rendered pages and cached queries come out of memory rather than being rebuilt for every visitor who turns up. PHP versions and limits are tuned per site too, which is why WordPress, Joomla and Drupal keep their pace whether one reader arrives or a thousand land at once.

  • LiteSpeed page and object caching
  • Every install on NVMe storage
  • Per-site PHP versions and limits
  • Speed that survives traffic spikes

Side by Side

As sites and traffic grow, a couple of clicks moves you up a tier.

Protected and Patched

Locked down by default, patched unprompted

Most CMS grief traces back to skipped updates and slack defaults, so we take care of both on your behalf. Core software, plugins and extensions are held current by the update tooling, which screens for known conflicts before anything rolls out. Guarding each install are free SSL, malware scanning and a managed firewall. Nightly backups leave any bad update one click away from being reversed.

  • Free self-renewing SSL per site
  • Malware scans plus a managed firewall
  • Updates screened before rollout
  • One-click restores from nightly backups

Made For

Shaped to how you publish

An agency running WordPress, Joomla and Drupal projects alongside each other

Publishers and bloggers

Stand up WordPress or Joomla, pick a theme, then leave the built-in caching to hold every page quick. Nothing needs fiddling with in settings.

Agencies and web studios

Client projects can sit on WordPress, Joomla and Drupal at the same time, each carrying its own PHP setup, the whole lot driven from one panel.

Developers and integrators

Git, SSH, Composer and as many as 100 MySQL databases let you extend any CMS and push code out precisely the way you always have.

In the Wild

The projects these plans carry

A single platform, many kinds of build — here's what customers launch on it most often.

Community sites, business sites and blogs live on CMS hosting

Blogs and magazines

Authors, categories and scheduled publishing are what WordPress and Joomla were designed around, while LiteSpeed caching keeps readers moving at pace.

Company and brochure sites

A crisp, quick company site, with free SSL, email running on your own domain, and the first year of registration already paid for.

Online stores

Drive a CMS storefront on current PHP 8.x with as many as 100 databases, and nightly backups keep watch over every order taken.

Members and communities

Members areas, portals, discussion boards: Joomla and Drupal shoulder that weight without fuss, while cron jobs, SSH and Composer turn the gears beneath.

Docs, wikis and handbooks

One Softaculous click puts wikis and documentation platforms live, every one of them sharing the same quick, cached NVMe foundation.

Multilingual and global sites

Joomla and Drupal both handle multiple languages natively, delivered worldwide over HTTP/2 out of our London datacentre.

The Route In

From order to live site in three moves

CMS configuration, step by step, from plan selection to launch
  1. 1

    Choose a tier

    Sprint carries one site, while Turbo and Nitro stretch to 100. Installer, caching, security and backups come with every tier from the outset.

  2. 2

    Start new or bring a site

    One click installs WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. Alternatively our team collects the site you already run: files, database, themes and extensions, moved across free of charge in roughly 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Launch and hand off the upkeep

    Bring your content and extensions in, then hand the upkeep to LiteSpeed caching, automatic updates and nightly backups, with support keeping an eye on things.

FAQ

Asked before signing up

What CMS platforms will these plans run?

Nearly every major one. WordPress, Joomla and Drupal each install in a single click, and the Softaculous installer sitting inside cPanel reaches 240-plus further applications: carts, forums, wikis, galleries, project tools among them. One plan can carry several platforms at once, each on its own domain or in a subfolder, which helps when a single organisation wants a WordPress blog, a Joomla members area and a Drupal microsite. All of them stand on one foundation: pure NVMe SSD storage, LiteSpeed caching, current PHP 8.x and as many as 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases. Moving up a plan raises how many sites you can host, so one CMS turns into a whole portfolio without changing providers. Anything the installer has never heard of still goes in by hand, since SSH brings Composer and full file access with it.

What happens during a one-click install?

Open Softaculous inside cPanel, pick a platform, aim it at a domain or subfolder, then set an admin username and password. The installer takes over from there, writing files, creating the database and finishing setup on its own, usually inside a minute. No download, no config file, no FTP session. Repeat as often as the site allowance on your plan permits, which makes standing a staging copy beside a live one trivial. Softaculous also keeps track of every install it has made, so future core updates become one click rather than a manual chore, and it can snapshot a backup immediately before applying any of them. Got a site running somewhere else already? Skip the fresh install entirely, because our team migrates it across at no charge instead.

What do managed updates actually cover in day-to-day practice?

In practice, nobody chases releases any more. Softaculous watches what you have installed and applies core, theme, plugin and extension updates for you, taking an automatic backup immediately beforehand so a clean restore point always exists should something conflict. The controls stay with you: choose which installs update on their own, review what is queued, or push changes into a quiet window rather than your busiest hour. Why it matters is simple. Outdated plugins and extensions are the single most common way into a CMS, so keeping current is genuine security rather than tidiness. Beneath that sit daily automatic backups and a web application firewall, adding further layers. Should an update ever need human judgement, our support team is there around the clock.

How do you keep a CMS site fast?

Speed here comes from several layers stacked together, not one trick. Storage is pure NVMe SSD; in front of it sit LiteSpeed caching, HTTP/2 and current PHP 8.x with OPcache turned on. Rather than rebuilding a page for every visitor, LiteSpeed hands rendered pages and static assets back from memory, and OPcache keeps compiled PHP on standby so each request asks less of the server. Then there is whatever caching your platform brings of its own: a WordPress cache plugin, the Joomla page cache, the Drupal object cache. Repeat visits get faster again. Menus, posts and search results lean hard on the database, which is where NVMe earns its money, and up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases give your sites plenty of storage room. Because PHP versions and limits are set per site, a single heavy install cannot drag its neighbours down. Outgrow the plan and more CPU and RAM is two clicks away.

How does security work here, and are backups part of the deal?

Take the backups first, since that is the simpler half: daily, automatic, included on every plan, and the restore button lives in your own cPanel. Roll back a whole site or one database in a couple of clicks. Files and database are captured together in each backup, which returns everything to a known-good state instead of a half-repaired one, so recovering from a bad update is quick rather than painful. Security works in layers, starting at the network and moving inward. A web application firewall plus network-level DDoS protection sit in front of every site, free auto-renewing SSL encrypts the traffic, and hardened defaults shut down the entry points CMS platforms get probed on most. An outdated core or plugin is still the biggest ongoing risk, which is why automatic updates paired with pre-update backups carry the heaviest load. The London datacentre behind all this holds standby power, cooling and several upstream routes, works to a 99.9% uptime target, and pays a pro-rated credit for any month that misses it. Support picks up at any hour.

Do you handle migrating across an existing CMS website for us?

Yes, and it costs nothing: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, or something else entirely. Once you have signed up, open a ticket carrying your current host's details. Our team then copies the files, database, themes and extensions, rebuilds the whole thing on our platform, and checks that the site loads and behaves properly before a single visitor is affected. Most moves wrap up in about 24 hours. We agree the final DNS switch with you beforehand, so cutover happens with zero downtime, and your existing site stays live and untouched until you have approved the copy. Several sites arriving together? They move as a batch, with cutovers staggered around your schedule. As each one lands here, daily automatic backups start running and free auto-renewing SSL is issued per domain, so everything you migrate is encrypted from the start.

See CMS Plans

WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, MODX — every good CMS asks for the same foundations: fast disks, a current PHP release and caching treated as a first-class feature. HostingFast owns the hardware under it all: NVMe drives, LiteSpeed up front, and a network desk that never clocks off.

We tuned it for teams publishing with WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and more, so the extras other hosts bill for come standard: certificates, site moves, daily snapshots and answers from the people running the servers.

Every major CMS on a single platform

Deploy any of 240+ applications in one click, then assign each site the PHP version its platform likes best. LiteSpeed caches rendered pages at the server, OPcache keeps compiled code hot, and cron powers the scheduled publishing and index rebuilds content sites depend on.

The hardware carries the load: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk stands behind. Fast pages keep visitors and search engines happy alike.

The running costs of a publishing site

No second price lurks in year two. The listed rate is the invoiced rate, this term and every term after, and any intro offer shows its renewal figure alongside. Every hosting plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so a test run risks nothing but an afternoon.

No platform-specific plan to purchase, no per-site licence to renew. One account can carry multiple CMS installs across multiple domains, and renewal stays at the figure you first agreed.

Driving a hosting account through the cPanel dashboard

Why content sites run fast here

Content sites live on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed in our London datacentre, with daily backups and staged updates. Media libraries fill the storage you bought, never a metered bill.

We never wait for a customer to flag an outage. Fleet monitoring runs minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so what usually reaches you is the fix, not the fault.

  • Every major CMS in the 240+ one-click library
  • PHP 5.6 through 8.4, assigned per site
  • LiteSpeed serving off 100% NVMe storage
  • DDoS traffic filtered at the network edge

Still Curious

Questions that keep coming up

Does one plan support multiple different CMS platforms?

It does, up to the site count your tier allows. Every install gets its own directory, database and PHP version, so a Drupal build on 8.1 and a legacy Joomla site on 7.4 coexist happily without slowing each other down.

How soon is my site online?

The panel login reaches you within minutes. If your site currently lives elsewhere, we copy it across first, test everything, and only then repoint the DNS.

Do certificates cost anything?

Free, installed and renewing on its own. You would only buy a certificate for a wildcard or a validated seal that procurement demands.

What if CMS 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.
