To make your Joomla site fast, convenient and stable, move it to our hosting. We provide an optimised server, sensible memory limits and support for current PHP versions. On UFO.Hosting you can host anything from a small Joomla one-page site to a large corporate portal.
Joomla runs noticeably more stably on a recent software environment. On our hosting you can choose the PHP version you need right in the control panel. That is useful when updating the CMS, installing extensions and testing new features.
Ordinary HDDs are frankly too slow for a CMS these days. NVMe storage speeds up page loading, the database and the admin panel. The difference is felt even on small projects — especially when a site is full of images, modules and catalogues.
An accidental file deletion, a failed plugin update or a developer’s mistake are all everyday occurrences. Backups help bring the site back to a working state quickly, without a long manual restore.
Not every site owner wants to get to grips with the Linux console and configuring a server over SSH. The control panel of our Joomla hosting lets you install the CMS and manage domains, mail and databases in literally a couple of clicks. Convenient both for newcomers and for web studios with dozens of projects.

* The bandwidth allocated to each server node is not guaranteed and depends on the selected VPS plan. Higher plan provides increased connection speed.
First you need to choose a shared hosting plan and create an account. For a small site the basic plan is usually enough. If an online store, a forum or a large catalogue is planned, it is better to take an option with resource headroom from the start. After registering you get access to the control panel, FTP access and the domain settings.
The engine installs on our hosting automatically through the built-in CMS installer. It takes literally a few minutes: you choose the domain, the database is created and the administrator parameters are set. If you need to move an existing site, the files and the database are uploaded by hand over FTP and phpMyAdmin. That option works well for moving a Joomla site from another host or for developing a new site.
Once installed, you can start on the look of the site: connect a template, create pages, add articles, images and contact forms. At this stage people usually connect an SSL certificate, set up mail and enable caching. These small things have a big effect on how comfortable the work is and on how fast the site loads. We provide a few days of free Joomla hosting so you can test how the control panel and the server behave.

Right after installing Joomla on hosting you need to do the following:
Check the folder permissions. It is important to make sure Joomla has access to all the system directories. Pay particular attention to the /administrator/logs and /tmp folders. If access is missing, it is advisable to set 755 for folders and 644 for files.
Check the paths to the system directories. Under “System” you need to make sure the paths to the logs folder and the tmp temporary files are correct. Errors in these paths can lead to problems installing extensions and running the site.
Check the database settings. In the server section you need to make sure the database connection parameters are filled in correctly. These details are usually set during the CMS installation, but they are worth double-checking.
Leave the default editor in place. TinyMCE is the recommended visual editor — it is installed in the system by default and is fully compatible with Joomla.
While the site is under development, it is advisable to enable Noindex, Nofollow so the pages are not indexed by search engines.
Set the correct time zone. In the server parameters you need to select the current time zone. That matters for publishing material correctly and for scheduling to work.
Turn off caching and compression during development. While the site is being actively configured and filled with content, Gzip compression and caching are best left off.

Yes, the move is done without reinstalling the site. The files and the database are copied and the domain’s DNS records are changed. If it is all done correctly, visitors do not even notice the move. UFO.Hosting staff will help with this.
