Driving a hosting account through the cPanel dashboard

Zero to Live

One click between you and a working CMS

Forget the download-unzip-configure ritual. The app installer lays down your CMS files and database, sets up the admin login and returns a working site in roughly a minute. Run WordPress, Joomla and Drupal side by side on one plan, add installs up to your tier's allowance, and keep every core current with 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 depends on, ready to go

Control panel view of instant CMS installs and automated updates

One click, any platform

Install WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or 100-plus other apps directly from the panel — files, database and an admin login ready in around a minute.

Pages straight from memory

LiteSpeed and server-side page caching on NVMe drives serve pages out of memory, keeping speed constant as content and visitor numbers multiply.

Secure out of the gate

Every install gets free auto-renewing SSL, a managed firewall and malware scanning, with defaults tuned to seal the routes CMS attackers probe first.

Hands-free updates

Automation keeps core software, themes, plugins and extensions up to date, screening for known conflicts before anything lands on your live site.

Nightly snapshots

Every site is copied automatically each night and rolls back in two clicks, so a bad update or an accidental edit costs minutes rather than days.

Domain and SSL included

Any annual plan bundles the first year of domain registration plus SSL, so your CMS launches branded and encrypted from its first minute.

A performance-test needle sweeping hard to the right

Built for Speed

Cached once, served from memory

No CMS outruns the server beneath it. Here that server pairs NVMe storage with LiteSpeed and server-side caching, delivering rendered pages and cached queries from memory instead of rebuilding them for each visitor. With PHP versions and limits tuned per site, WordPress, Joomla and Drupal hold their speed for one reader or a thousand arriving 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

How the CMS tiers stack up

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

Protected and Patched

Sealed by default, patched without asking

Skipped updates and loose defaults cause most CMS grief, so both are dealt with for you. The update tooling keeps core software, plugins and extensions current, checking for known conflicts before anything rolls out. Free SSL, malware scanning and a managed firewall guard every install, and nightly backups put any bad update one click from reversal.

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

The projects these plans carry

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

Members and communities

Joomla and Drupal carry forums, portals and member areas comfortably, with cron jobs, SSH and Composer driving the machinery.

Docs, wikis and handbooks

Wikis and documentation platforms go live with one Softaculous click, all sharing the same fast, cached NVMe base.

Multilingual and global sites

Native multi-language support in Joomla and Drupal, served worldwide over HTTP/2 from our London datacentre.

FAQ

Asked before signing up

What CMS platforms will these plans run?

Nearly every major one. WordPress, Joomla and Drupal all install in a single click, and the Softaculous installer inside cPanel extends to 240-plus more applications — carts, forums, wikis, galleries and project tools among them. One plan can carry several platforms at once, each in its own domain or subfolder — handy when the same organisation needs a WordPress blog, a Joomla members area and a Drupal microsite. All of them share one foundation: pure NVMe SSD storage, LiteSpeed caching, current PHP 8.x and up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases. Moving up a plan lifts the number of sites you can host, so one CMS can become a whole portfolio without switching providers. And anything missing from the installer can still go in by hand — SSH with Composer and full file access see to that.

What happens during a one-click install?

You open Softaculous in cPanel, select a platform, point it at a domain or subfolder, choose an admin username and password — and the installer does the rest, writing the files, creating the database and completing setup on its own, usually within a minute. There's no download, no config file, no FTP session. You can repeat the process as many times as your plan's site allowance permits, which makes standing a staging copy next to a live site trivial. Softaculous also tracks every install it has made, turning future core updates into a single click instead of a manual chore, and it can snapshot an automatic backup right before applying one. Already have a site running elsewhere? Skip the fresh install — our team migrates it across for free instead.

Managed updates — what do they cover in practice?

In practice, nobody has to chase releases anymore. Softaculous monitors what you've installed and applies core, theme, plugin and extension updates on your behalf, taking an automatic backup immediately beforehand so a clean restore point always exists if something conflicts. The controls remain yours: decide which installs update automatically, review what's queued, or schedule changes into a quiet window instead of your busiest hour. It matters because outdated plugins and extensions are the single most common way into a CMS — staying current is genuine security, not tidiness. Beneath that, daily automatic backups and a web application firewall add further layers, and if an update ever does need human judgement, our support team is available around the clock.

How do you keep a CMS site fast?

The stack starts with pure NVMe SSD storage, LiteSpeed caching, HTTP/2 and current PHP 8.x with OPcache. LiteSpeed serves rendered pages and static assets out of memory rather than rebuilding them for each visitor, while OPcache holds compiled PHP ready so every request costs the server less. On top of that, each platform's native caching — a WordPress cache plugin, Joomla's page cache, Drupal's object cache — accelerates repeat visits further still. NVMe keeps the database work behind menus, posts and search results quick, and up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases leave generous room for whatever your sites need to store. PHP versions and limits are set per site, so one heavy install never slows its neighbours. And when traffic outgrows the plan, more CPU and RAM sits a couple of clicks away.

What does security look like, and do backups come included?

Security is layered from the network inward. A web application firewall and network-level DDoS protection stand in front of every site, free auto-renewing SSL encrypts all traffic, and hardened defaults seal the entry points CMS platforms get probed on most often. Since an outdated core or plugin is the biggest ongoing risk, automatic updates with pre-update backups do the heaviest lifting. As for backups — yes, daily and automatic on every plan, with restores in your own hands directly from cPanel: a full site or a single database rolls back in a couple of clicks, making recovery from a bad update quick rather than painful. Each backup captures files and database together, returning the whole site to a known-good state. Everything runs from a London datacentre with standby power, cooling and multiple upstream routes, under a 99.9% uptime target that pays a pro-rated credit for any month missed — and support is reachable at any hour.

Is migrating an existing CMS site something you handle?

We handle it, and it's free — WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or something else entirely. After sign-up, open a ticket with your current host's details and our team copies the files, database, themes and extensions, rebuilds everything on our platform, and verifies the site loads and behaves properly before your visitors are affected in any way. Most moves complete in about 24 hours. The final DNS switch is agreed with you in advance, so cutover happens with zero downtime — your existing site stays live and untouched until you've approved the copy. Bringing several sites at once? We'll move them as a batch and stagger the cutovers around your schedule. From the moment each site arrives, daily automatic backups begin and free auto-renewing SSL is issued per domain, so everything you migrate is encrypted from the outset.

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.
