    FAQ

    How to install Joomla! on a virtual or dedicated server?

    To install Joomla, you need to select a license while ordering a server on the HOSTKEY website. Our auto-deployment system will install the software on your server.

    I am having trouble installing and/or using Joomla!

    If you have any difficulties or questions when installing and/or using the software, carefully learn the documentation on the official website of the developer, read about typical problems and how to solve them or contact Joomla support.

    Is Joomla pre-installed on the server?

    Yes, Joomla is pre-installed and ready to go on our servers. This means you don’t have to waste time downloading and installing the CMS manually - you can start setting up your site, adding content, and installing the necessary extensions right away. We also keep Joomla up to date, ensuring compatibility with the latest updates and security patches.

    Can I choose between a VPS and a dedicated Joomla server?

    Yes, we offer flexible Joomla hosting options, including virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers. VPS is suitable for medium-load projects, providing a balance between performance and cost. Dedicated servers are ideal for high-load sites that require maximum power, full control and custom configuration. Our experts will help you choose the best solution depending on your requirements.

    Can I install custom Joomla extensions and templates?

    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. You can use both free and commercial solutions from the official Joomla catalog or other sources. However, we recommend checking the extensions for security to avoid vulnerabilities.

    How secure is your Joomla server hosting?

    Security is our priority. We use multi-layered protection, including:

    • regular Joomla and server software updates to eliminate vulnerabilities;
    • DDoS attack protection and automatic blocking of suspicious requests.
    • SSL certificates (including free Let’s Encrypt) for data encryption;
    • backups in case of failures or hacking;
    • 24/7 monitoring for prompt response to threats.

    Can I host multiple Joomla websites on one server?

    Yes, depending on the plan you choose, you can host multiple Joomla sites on a single server. On VPS and dedicated servers, this can be done through different domains or subdomains, as well as using tools like VirtualHost (Apache/Nginx). We also support multisite configurations if you need to manage multiple projects from a single Joomla admin panel.

    What is the setup time for a Joomla server?

    Setup time depends on the hosting type:

    • Shared hosting with pre-installed Joomla - the site is ready to work immediately after registration.
    • VPS - deployment takes from 15 minutes to 1 hour (including OS and control panel installation).
    • Dedicated server - setup can take up to 24 hours if custom configuration is required.
    • To speed up the process, we offer ready-made server templates with Joomla-optimized settings.

    What Is a Joomla Server?

    CMS Overview: Why Choose Joomla?

    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.

    Use Cases: From Personal Sites to Enterprise Portals

    • Personal Blogs and Portfolios. Joomla is great for creating personal sites thanks to its convenient content editor and many templates. You can easily publish articles, galleries and resumes without deep technical knowledge.
    • Corporate Sites and Portals. With support for a multi-level page structure and complex menus, Joomla is ideal for corporate sites. Integration with CRM, document management systems and analytics tools makes it a powerful solution for business.
    • Online Stores. With the help of extensions like VirtueMart or J2Store, Joomla turns into a full-fledged eCommerce platform. Support for various payment systems, management and SEO optimization help create convenient stores.
    • Educational Platforms. Joomla allows you to create websites for educational institutions, online courses and LMS (Learning Management Systems). The ability to differentiate access rights and publish educational materials makes it an excellent choice for education.
    • News portals and media sites. Built-in tools for categorizing and tagging content simplify the management of large volumes of publications. Support for multimedia and RSS feeds helps attract an audience.

    Self-Hosted vs Shared Joomla Hosting

    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.

    Who Needs Joomla Hosting Server?

    Developers

    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

    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.

    Corporate

    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.

    eCommerce

    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

    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.

    Education

    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.

    Nonprofits

    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.

    Key Joomla Server Features

    Choice of VPS or Dedicated Servers

    We offer a flexible choice between powerful dedicated servers and scalable VPS solutions for Joomla hosting. Dedicated servers provide maximum performance and full control over resources, which is ideal for large corporate portals and high-load projects. Virtual servers (VPS) are an economical solution with guaranteed resources, suitable for medium-sized projects and web studios that value balance between cost and functionality.

    Our server solutions are easily scalable as your project grows. You can start with VPS and, if necessary, switch to a dedicated server without interruptions in the site's operation. All servers are optimized for working with Joomla and provide stable operation even under peak loads.

    PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Apache/Nginx Support

    Our servers support all the necessary technologies for the smooth operation of Joomla. We offer the latest stable versions of PHP with the ability to choose the right version for the specific requirements of your extensions and templates. Support for modern MySQL and MariaDB DBMS ensures reliable storage and fast access to your site data.

    For maximum performance, you can choose between Apache and Nginx web servers. Nginx is especially well suited for high-load projects, providing fast request processing and effective caching. Our administrators will help you set up the optimal server configuration for your specific requirements.

    One-Click Joomla Installation Available

    For your convenience, we offer automatic installation of Joomla in one click through the control panel. This solution is ideal for quickly launching a project without the need for manual server setup and CMS installation.

    We offer a selection of user-friendly control panels, specially optimized for working with Joomla. cPanel offers an intuitive interface and many built-in tools for managing the site, databases and mail services. ISPmanager combines ease of use with powerful features for professional webmasters.

    For experienced users, there are options without a control panel with direct access to the server via SSH. Our specialists will help you choose the best control panel option depending on your level of training and project requirements. All panels are pre-configured for optimal work with Joomla.

    Daily Backups, SSL, DDoS Protection

    The security of your data is our priority. We perform daily automatic backups of all data, which allows you to quickly restore the site in case of unforeseen situations. Backups are stored on separate secure servers and are available for restoration at any time.
