Straight To Live
Joomla up, friction stripped out
No download. No unzipping. No config file touched by hand. The installer writes out the Joomla files and database, sets up your admin login, and hands back a working site in roughly a minute. Pile up as many installs as your tier permits, then push each core forward with a one-click update the moment a release ships.
- Joomla installed from the panel
- Database and config written for you
- Run multiple Joomla installs at once
- Core updates in a click or two
Under The Hood
Every piece of kit a Joomla site needs
One click, Joomla running
Click once in the control panel and about sixty seconds later a clean install is waiting. No database to create, no config file edited by hand, no FTP client involved.
PHP controls in your hands
Switch PHP versions whenever you like, then set memory_limit, max_execution_time and upload ceilings site by site, so Joomla and its extensions run under precisely the conditions they ask for.
Extensions that just install
Install a component, drop in a module, swap the template: nothing stalls on permissions here. Should one prove stubborn, you have file, database and SSH access to sort it.
Caching handled by LiteSpeed
Server-side LiteSpeed caching, running over NVMe drives, hands Joomla pages out of memory. Load times stay level as your content grows and the audience grows with it.
Every night, a fresh copy
Every site keeps its own backup schedule and a restore that runs in two clicks. A bad extension update, or an edit you never meant to save, costs minutes, not a ruined weekend.
SSL and a domain, included
Choose annual billing and the first year of your domain costs nothing. An SSL certificate that renews itself keeps traffic encrypted and the padlock honest from the day the site goes live.
Tuned For Pace
PHP set your way, caching running flat out
A Joomla site never outruns the PHP beneath it. Choose the release for each site yourself, then adjust memory, execution time, upload limits and which extensions stay active, so nothing sits capped or switched off by accident. LiteSpeed and NVMe caching then serve pages from memory, holding the same pace for one visitor or a thousand landing together.
- Per-site PHP version selection
- Toggle extensions, adjust limits
- LiteSpeed page and object caching
- Every install on NVMe storage
Extensions Welcome
Every component and template gets room
Joomla earns its keep through extensions, so we stay out of the way. Full file and database access means components, modules, plugins and templates go in with no permission trouble. Where one wants a specific PHP extension or a higher upload cap, you switch it on yourself. Builders doing custom work get SSH, Git and Composer.
- Clean installs via full file access
- Up to 100 MySQL databases on call
- SSH, Git and Composer included
- Enable any PHP extension you require
Weigh Up
Every tier in one table
When site and traffic grow, moving up a tier is a couple of clicks' work.

| Websites | 1 | 25 | 100 |
| CPU / RAM | 1 core / 2 GB | 1 core / 2 GB | 2 cores / 4 GB |
| Databases | 25 MySQL | 50 MySQL | 100 MySQL |
| Click-to-install Joomla | |||
| Control of PHP and limits | |||
| LiteSpeed cache layer | |||
| Nightly backup included |
Protection As Standard
Copied nightly, guarded from the first day
Strip a Joomla site back and it is files, a database and a pile of extensions working together, so cover has to reach all three. Daily automatic backups put a bad update two clicks from undone. Free SSL keeps traffic encrypted. Malware scanning stays on watch. Trying a new template is no longer a gamble.
- Automatic backups on a daily beat
- One-click restores, run by you
- Included SSL that renews alone
- Every site under malware scanning
Fits
Shaped around the way you run Joomla
Magazines and member hubs
Built-in multilingual handling and access levels suit Joomla to magazines, membership portals and community sites. Caching keeps every one of them quick under load.
Studios and site builders
Run every client install from one panel. PHP settings and SSH stay separate per site, and there is room to park a staging copy alongside each live build.
Builders and integrators
SSH, Git, Composer and remote MySQL are all there, so custom Joomla components ship down whatever workflow you already run.
The Route In
Three moves to a live site
- 1
Settle on a tier
Sprint holds one site. Turbo and Nitro stretch to 100. The installer, PHP controls, caching and backups ship as standard on all three tiers.
- 2
Start clean or bring your site
A single click spins up a brand-new Joomla install. Prefer to hand over the site you already have? Our team shifts files, database and extensions at no charge, usually inside 24 hours.
- 3
Assemble, then accelerate
Load in templates and extensions, tune the PHP configuration, then hand everything after that to LiteSpeed caching and nightly backups. Platform monitoring is our job.
All Included
With every Joomla tier
- Joomla installs in a single click
- A PHP release picked per site

- One-click component and module installs
- LiteSpeed caching over NVMe
- Nightly backups, automatic
- Your domain free for year one
- Self-renewing SSL included
- Migration handled by us, free
- SSH, Git and Composer ready to go
- 100 MySQL databases available
- People on support, day and night
Version Jump
Your way up from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5
Support for Joomla 3 has ended. This is what a clean jump to Joomla 5 takes — or pass the job to us and skip every step.
- 1
Audit your extension list
Write down every component, module, plugin and template in use, then check each one publishes a build that works with Joomla 4 and 5. Most upgrades come unstuck at exactly this point.
- 2
Patch fully, then cross over
Bring the Joomla 3 install fully up to date first. Joomla’s own migration wizard then carries you across to 4 and on to 5, and the whole run happens on a staging copy your plan already allows for.
- 3
Test, then throw the switch
Work through menus, forms and templates on the staging copy, take a fresh backup, and push it live. You can also skip the entire exercise: our team will run the migration at no cost.
Joomla sitting with a slower host? We shift it free.
Files, database, extensions and templates brought over with zero downtime, typically inside 24 hours of asking.

Joomla users, answered
How fast can I get Joomla up and running?
Around a minute, through the Softaculous one-click installer that lives inside cPanel. Open it, find Joomla among the 240-plus applications listed there, choose the domain or subfolder it should occupy, set an admin username and password, and Softaculous writes the files, builds the database and closes out the job. Nothing gets downloaded or unzipped. No configuration file is edited by hand, and an FTP client never comes near it. You can run the installer as many times as your plan's site allowance permits, so standing a staging copy next to the live build costs almost no effort. Softaculous also keeps a record of what it put where, which turns a future Joomla core update into one click rather than a manual routine. Bringing across a site you already have? Our team migrates the existing Joomla install free, files, database and extensions alike.
Is the PHP version something I control?
Completely. cPanel hands each site its own PHP 8.x release, and you can swap it the moment a template or an extension names a particular version. The settings Joomla leans on hardest are yours as well: memory_limit, max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, plus per-site switches for individual PHP extensions. Why does that control matter? A busy Joomla install stacked with components will run past the default ceilings soon enough, and large media uploads or data imports need somewhere to work. OPcache sits in the stack too, holding compiled PHP in memory so pages render quicker. Because the PHP configuration of one site never touches another, a single install can ride the newest branch while its neighbour holds an older one, each advancing on its own timetable instead of all of them moving together.
Will the templates and extensions I already run install properly?
They do. Full file access comes as standard, along with up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases, phpMyAdmin and SSH, so components, modules, plugins and templates go in without the permission battles some hosts invent. Where an extension wants a particular PHP module, or a larger upload ceiling, you switch it on in cPanel yourself rather than raising a ticket and waiting on somebody else. That freedom pays off hardest on demanding builds. Directory, forms, ecommerce and membership extensions all tend to arrive carrying requirements of their own. Anyone doing custom work has SSH, Git and Composer for dependencies and deployment in whatever style they already favour, while cron jobs cover extensions that run on a schedule, such as newsletter sends or index rebuilds. Automatic daily backups run underneath the lot, so trying a fresh template or component risks little. If it misbehaves, roll back.
In practice, what does the caching give a Joomla site?
Your site sits on pure NVMe SSD storage with LiteSpeed caching and HTTP/2 in front of it, a real step up from conventional hosting. Rather than rebuilding a page for every arrival, LiteSpeed hands out rendered pages and static files from memory, while OPcache keeps compiled PHP ready so each request costs the server less. Layer Joomla's own page and module caching over that and a repeat visit lands near-instantly. The benefit shows clearest during a surge: a newsletter blast, or an article that suddenly travels further than you expected. A crowd turns up at once and cached pages absorb the weight instead of PHP and MySQL taking it raw. NVMe speeds the database work behind menus, articles and search results too. You end up with a Joomla site that holds its pace as content and audience scale, asking no tuning of you.
Do backups happen on their own, and who restores?
Backups run daily on every plan with no involvement from you, and the restore stays entirely under your control. From cPanel you can roll back a whole site or a single database in a couple of clicks. No ticket. No queue. That changes how you treat risk: core updates, new templates and fresh components all become reversible, so trouble means a quick restore rather than a genuine setback. Both the files and the database get captured, so what comes back is the working site in full, not half of one. Taking a fresh backup immediately before any significant change remains the sensible habit, as does rehearsing major updates on a staging copy, which your plan's site allowance makes straightforward. Not sure which restore point to pick? Support will help you choose, at whatever hour you ask.
Will HostingFast move my current Joomla site across for me?
Yes, and no bill comes with it. Sign up, raise a ticket with the details of your current host, and our team carries over the Joomla files, database, extensions and templates, rebuilds the lot on our platform, then checks that menus, components and modules behave before a single visitor notices. Most moves wrap up in roughly 24 hours. We agree the final DNS switch with you beforehand, so nothing goes dark, and your old site carries on untouched until you have signed off the new copy. Stuck on an older Joomla or PHP version? Say so in the ticket and we will map out the safest route across. Automatic daily backups begin the moment the site lands on our servers, and a free self-renewing SSL certificate goes onto your domain, leaving the migrated site encrypted from its first day.

A one-click install, PHP controls, LiteSpeed caching and nightly backups — plus domain, SSL and migration on us.
See Joomla PlansPlenty of Joomla sites predate the people now maintaining them. What they need is current PHP, a genuine backup and someone patching the server beneath them. The engine room holds NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our redundant London datacentre and engineers wide awake at three in the morning.
Geared for owners keeping a Joomla site in good running order: free SSL on every domain, a free lift from your old host, automatic daily backups, and no gap between the listed price and the invoice.
Joomla online and battened down
One click installs Joomla, the PHP version bends to what your extensions expect, and LiteSpeed caches the front end. An older template still wed to an earlier PHP release gets its own site on that version, while a newer build runs 8.x in the same account.
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 bill for a Joomla site
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.
Joomla rides the same plans as everything else, from $2.42 a month. No CMS premium, no extension licence from our side, and renewal matches the figure you started on.
Joomla's footing on the platform
Joomla sites run on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed in our London datacentre with edge DDoS filtering. The daily backup runs regardless of whether that backup extension from three years ago still works.
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.
- Joomla installed and updated in one click
- Each site picks its own PHP version
- Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click
- SSL issued free and auto-renewed

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Can you take on a Joomla site running an outdated version?
We can, and we will help modernise it. Clone it to staging, upgrade Joomla and the extensions there, then cut over once it all works. If an abandoned extension stalls the upgrade, our desk says so plainly instead of letting launch day deliver the news.
How long until everything is running?
The account provisions itself at checkout — minutes, not days. If an existing site needs bringing over, our migration team typically wraps up inside 24 hours and schedules the cutover so nothing goes offline.
Does the price move at renewal?
Same rate, same amount. There is no introductory price here that silently doubles once you are settled.
What if Joomla 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.
