Straight To Live
Joomla up, friction stripped out
Nothing to download, nothing to unzip, no config file edited by hand. The installer lays down Joomla's files and database, sets your admin login and hands over a working site in roughly a minute. Stack up as many installs as your tier permits, and bring each core forward with a one-click update whenever 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
All the kit a Joomla site could want
One click, Joomla running
Roughly sixty seconds after you click in the control panel, a fresh install exists — no database creation, no hand-edited config, no FTP client anywhere.
PHP controls in your hands
Change PHP versions at will, and set memory_limit, max_execution_time and upload ceilings per site, giving Joomla and its extensions exactly the conditions they ask for.
Extensions that just install
No permission stand-offs when components, modules and templates go in — and full file, database and SSH access brings even the awkward ones into line.
Caching handled by LiteSpeed
LiteSpeed server-side caching over NVMe drives serves Joomla pages straight from memory, keeping load times level while content and audience expand.
Every night, a fresh copy
Each site gets its own backup schedule and a two-click restore, so a misfiring extension update or an accidental edit costs minutes, not a lost weekend.
SSL and a domain, included
Pick an annual plan and your domain's first year costs nothing, while a self-renewing SSL certificate keeps the site encrypted and credible from the moment it launches.
Tuned For Pace
PHP on your terms, caching at full tilt
No Joomla site outruns the PHP underneath it. Pick each site's release yourself and adjust memory, execution time, upload limits and active extensions, so nothing sits capped or accidentally off. LiteSpeed and NVMe caching then serve your pages from memory, holding pace for one visitor or a thousand arriving at once.
- Per-site PHP version selection
- Toggle extensions, adjust limits
- LiteSpeed page and object caching
- Every install on NVMe storage
Extensions Welcome
Room for every component and template
Extensions are where Joomla earns its keep, so we keep out of the road. Full file and database access lets components, modules, plugins and templates install without permission trouble, and when one needs a particular PHP extension or a higher upload cap, you flip it on yourself. Builders get SSH, Git and Composer for custom work.
- 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.

Protection As Standard
Duplicated nightly, defended from day one
Under the surface, a Joomla site is files, a database and a stack of extensions cooperating — so protection covers all three. Daily automatic backups leave a rough update two clicks from undone, free SSL keeps the traffic encrypted, and malware scanning holds its watch. Trying a new template stops being 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
Built to match how you run Joomla
Magazines and member hubs
Native multilingual support and access levels make Joomla a fit for magazines, membership portals and communities — caching keeps them all fast.
Studios and site builders
Manage every client install from a single panel — separate PHP settings and SSH per site, with space for a staging copy beside each.
Builders and integrators
With SSH, Git, Composer and remote MySQL on hand, custom Joomla components ship through the workflow you already run.
The Route In
A live site in three moves
- 1
Settle on a tier
Launch covers a single site; Pro and Elite reach 100. Installer, PHP controls, caching and backups come standard across all three.
- 2
Start clean or bring your site
One click starts a brand-new Joomla install — or give your existing site to our team, who move files, database and extensions free, usually within 24 hours.
- 3
Assemble, then accelerate
Add templates and extensions, tune the PHP configuration, and hand the rest to LiteSpeed caching and nightly backups while we watch the platform.

Version Jump
The road from Joomla 3 up 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
List every component, module, plugin and template you run, then confirm each offers a build compatible with Joomla 4 and 5 — the step where most upgrades stumble.
- 2
Patch fully, then cross over
Get the Joomla 3 install fully current, then let Joomla's own migration wizard carry you to 4 and on to 5 — all on a staging copy your plan already accommodates.
- 3
Test, then throw the switch
Click through menus, forms and templates on staging, capture a fresh backup, then go live. Or sidestep the whole job — our team runs the migration free.
Joomla parked with a slower host? We move 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?
About a minute, using the Softaculous one-click installer inside cPanel. Open it, locate Joomla among the 240-plus listed applications, pick the domain or subfolder it belongs in, choose an admin username and password, and Softaculous writes the files, builds the database and finishes the job. Nothing is downloaded or unzipped, no configuration file is touched by hand, and an FTP client never enters the picture. The installer runs as many times as your plan's site allowance allows, so parking a staging copy next to the live site takes no real effort. Softaculous also tracks what it installed and where, turning a future Joomla core update into a single click instead of a manual routine. Bringing an existing site rather than starting fresh? Our team migrates your current Joomla install free — files, database and extensions included.
Is the PHP version something I control?
Entirely. cPanel lets you assign a PHP 8.x release to each individual site and swap it whenever the need arises — useful when a template or extension specifies a particular version. The settings Joomla cares about most are equally yours: memory_limit, max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, along with per-site toggles for individual PHP extensions. That control matters, because a busy Joomla install loaded with components will outgrow default ceilings, and big media uploads or data imports need working space. OPcache is part of the stack too, keeping compiled PHP in memory so pages render faster. And since every site's PHP configuration stands alone, one install can ride the newest branch while another holds an older one, each moving forward on its own timetable rather than all at once.
Do existing templates and extensions carry over cleanly?
They do. You get full file access, up to 100 MySQL/MariaDB databases, phpMyAdmin and SSH, so components, modules, plugins and templates install without the permission battles some hosts manufacture. When an extension needs a specific PHP module or a bigger upload ceiling, you flip it on in cPanel yourself instead of filing a ticket and waiting. That freedom counts most on demanding builds — directory, forms, ecommerce or membership extensions tend to arrive with requirements of their own. Developers on custom work get SSH, Git and Composer for dependencies and deployment in their usual style, and cron jobs cover extensions that run scheduled tasks like newsletter sends or index rebuilds. With automatic daily backups underneath it all, testing a new template or component carries little risk — if it misbehaves, roll straight back.
What does the caching actually do for Joomla?
Your site runs on pure NVMe SSD storage with LiteSpeed caching and HTTP/2 — a genuine jump over conventional hosting. Instead of rebuilding every page for every visitor, LiteSpeed serves rendered pages and static files directly from memory, while OPcache holds compiled PHP ready so each request costs the server less. Add Joomla's own page and module caching on top and repeat visits land almost instantly. The payoff is clearest in a surge — a newsletter blast, a post that suddenly travels — when a crowd arrives at once and cached pages soak up the load rather than PHP and MySQL carrying it raw. NVMe also accelerates the database work behind menus, articles and search results. The result is a Joomla site that holds its speed as content and audience scale, with no tuning demanded of you.
Are backups automatic, and who controls the restore?
Backups run daily on every plan without you lifting a finger, and restores sit entirely in your hands. cPanel rolls back a full site or a single database in a couple of clicks — no ticket, no waiting. That safety net changes your relationship with risk: core updates, new templates and fresh components all become reversible, so a problem means a quick restore rather than a genuine setback. Files and database are both captured, so what comes back is the whole working site, not half of one. It is still wise to take a fresh backup right before any significant change, and to rehearse major updates on a staging copy — your plan's site allowance makes that easy. Ever unsure which restore point to pick? Support is there at any hour to help you choose.
Can HostingFast take over my existing Joomla site?
Yes, without a bill attached. After signing up, open a ticket with your current host's details and our team brings across the Joomla files, database, extensions and templates, rebuilds everything on our platform, and verifies menus, components and modules behave before your visitors ever notice. Most moves finish inside roughly 24 hours. The final DNS switch happens on a schedule agreed with you, so there is no downtime, and your existing site keeps running untouched until you have approved the new copy. On an older Joomla or PHP version? Mention it and we will map out the safest route across. Automatic daily backups start the moment your site arrives on our servers, and a free self-renewing SSL certificate goes onto your domain, leaving the migrated site encrypted from day one.

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

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.
