Yes, we offer flexible Joomla hosting options, including virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers.

Absolutely! Our hosting provides full access to the Joomla file system and database, allowing you to upload and activate any third-party extensions, modules, plugins, and templates.

Security is our priority. We use multi-layered protection, including:
Yes, depending on the plan you choose, you can host multiple Joomla sites on a single server.

Setup time depends on the hosting type:
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications.
Joomla is a powerful open-source content management system (CMS) that combines flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. Unlike simpler platforms, Joomla offers advanced features for creating complex websites, including multilingual support, complex data structures, and integration with external services. Its modular architecture makes it easy to adapt functionality to any task, be it a blog, a corporate portal, or an online store.
One of the key advantages of Joomla is its rich ecosystem of extensions. Thousands of free and paid components allow you to add new features to your site without having to write code from scratch. In addition, Joomla has a developed user management system, making it an ideal solution for projects with different access levels, such as educational platforms or internal corporate systems.
Another important advantage is security and stability. Joomla is actively supported by a community of developers who regularly release updates that close vulnerabilities. This is especially important for business projects where data protection is critical. When combined with the right hosting, Joomla provides high performance and reliability even under high load.
Self-Hosted means you have full control over the server, including choosing the OS, configuring the software, and installing the necessary modules. This option is suitable for experienced users and large projects where performance and customization are important. However, it requires technical knowledge or the help of an administrator.
Shared Hosting is a simpler and more economical option, where Joomla is hosted on a server with other sites. It is suitable for small projects and beginners, since the hosting provider takes care of the server maintenance. The disadvantages are limited resources and less flexibility in settings.
Developers choose Joomla hosting to create complex web projects due to the open source CMS, support for PHP frameworks and the ability to deeply customize. The flexibility of the system allows programmers to develop unique extensions, integrate third-party APIs and optimize performance for high loads.
Web studios value Joomla for the ability to quickly deploy functional sites for clients with different requirements. Ready-made templates, modular structure and easy employee training make Joomla an ideal tool for agencies offering turnkey solutions.
Websites with Custom Extensions. Corporations use Joomla hosting to create portals with a complex structure and integration with internal systems (CRM, ERP). The ability to develop custom extensions allows you to adapt the site to unique business processes, and built-in security tools protect confidential data.
Projects with Joomla and VirtueMart. Online stores based on Joomla and VirtueMart require specialized hosting with SSL support, high uptime guarantee and optimization for DBMS. Such projects benefit from the rich functionality of the CMS: managing product variations, multilingualism and payment gateways.
Government agencies choose Joomla to create information portals due to its compliance with security requirements, accessibility (WCAG) and the ability to organize multi-level document flow. The open source code of the system eliminates dependence on vendors.
Educational institutions deploy distance learning platforms, resource libraries and intranet portals on Joomla. The user role system (students, teachers, administration) and integration with LMS (for example, Moodle) simplify the management of educational content.
Non-profit organizations use Joomla hosting to create sites with an emphasis on content and fundraising. Ready-made extensions for events, volunteer programs, and multilingualism help you effectively promote your mission on a budget.
