Questions? Quick answers.
Built for Joomla, tuned for the LAMP stack.
Joomla is an out-of-the-box CMS, and the host should be too. Every plan ships with the runtime, database, and control-panel tooling Joomla expects, ready before you install. No add-ons, no upsells, no "managed Joomla" tier.
LAMP / PHP Runtime
Point each domain at PHP 7.4 through 8.3 from the panel. Every PHP extension Joomla and its com_* extensions call for (mbstring, intl, gd, mysqli, curl, zip, xml, json) is enabled by default, with OPcache keeping page renders snappy.
MariaDB Databases
MariaDB 10.x with UTF-8 collation, sized for how Joomla queries its articles, categories, menus, and extension tables. Up to 50 databases per account, each one manageable from phpMyAdmin.
One-Click Softaculous Install
Stand up Joomla in one click from cPanel, no config files to edit. Softaculous also applies version updates, snapshots an automatic backup before each one, and rolls back cleanly if a template or extension misbehaves.
Multilingual Support
Turn on Joomla's built-in multi-language feature and it just works. UTF-8 character sets, the PHP intl and mbstring extensions, and MariaDB collations are all in place to serve every language Joomla ships with.
24/7 In-House Support
Reach our own staff around the clock by live chat, ticket, or email. We have hosted Joomla sites for over two decades, so questions about a stubborn extension, a template conflict, or a slow admin get a real answer.
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
RAID plus UPS protection, on-site technicians, and Cisco networking on hardware we own keep your Joomla site reachable for visitors and editors alike, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee written into every plan.
A Joomla-ready stack the moment you order.
Every Ultra Joomla plan hands you a pre-tuned LAMP stack, CloudLinux account isolation, the PHP extensions Joomla needs (mbstring, intl, gd, curl, zip, xml), and one-click Softaculous installs. Your Joomla 3, 4, or 5 site is building content on day one, not waiting on a week of server-config tickets.
See what's included →A real Joomla team, not a ticket queue overseas.
The staff who keep the LAMP stack and every Joomla PHP extension current are US-based and work in the same building as the Dell PowerEdge servers we own, not lease. If an extension or template acts up, a real person picks up your ticket in about 12 minutes.
Is Joomla the right CMS for your project?
A straight answer saves everyone a migration later. Here is where Joomla is the right call, and where we would point you at a different platform, all of which we also host.
- You want a capable CMS out of the box, with granular user access levels and a real menu and template system.
- You need built-in multilingual publishing without paying for a plugin to do it.
- You are a site builder or small organization that likes structure over a blank canvas.
- You mostly blog and want the largest theme and plugin market. Look at WordPress hosting.
- You are running a serious online store. A dedicated cart like Magento will fit better.
- You need an enterprise content framework with custom entities. That is Drupal territory.
Hosting Joomla since 2005.
Joomla hosting for builders, on a tuned LAMP stack.
Joomla sits in a sweet spot between a page builder and a full framework: it gives site builders and small organizations a capable CMS out of the box, with a large extension ecosystem, built-in multilingual publishing, granular user access levels, and a menu and template system for shaping the site without writing much code. That approachability is exactly why the underlying host has to be right from the start.
What you get on the Joomla Optimized plan
Ultra Web Hosting has been supporting Joomla sites since 2005. Every shared hosting plan includes one-click Joomla installation through Softaculous, so a working Joomla site is live in minutes with no configuration files to touch. Our servers meet Joomla's PHP and MariaDB requirements with headroom to spare, with the required extensions enabled and CloudLinux keeping your account isolated from the neighbors sharing the server.
Pricing transparency
What you sign up at is what you renew at, period. The Joomla plan you start at $3.95/mo renews at $3.95/mo on the same 3-year term, not at the quiet markup most of the discount-hosting industry springs on you later. There are no setup fees. The 30% promotional discount applies to your first term and is honored at signup, not at renewal.
The team behind your Joomla site
Our support team has been answering Joomla tickets since the Joomla 1.0 era. When you write in about a template conflict, a blank white-screen after an update, an extension that will not play nice, or a migration question, an Ultra employee with hands-on Joomla experience answers it, not a script. Our 12-minute average first-response time is measured across all tickets during business hours. We are also a green hosting provider, with renewable energy offsetting the datacenter's full power draw.
The details a Joomla site builder actually cares about.
Joomla is designed to run without a developer holding its hand, and our default plan keeps it that way. Everything a site builder or small organization needs is switched on before you install, so you can spend your time on articles, menus, and modules instead of server settings.
- One-click installs and updates. Softaculous stands up a fresh Joomla 3, 4, or 5 site in one click and applies core updates on your schedule, taking an automatic backup first so a bad template or extension never leaves you stuck.
- Extension compatibility. The com_* components, plugins, and modules that make up the Joomla ecosystem, from VirtueMart and K2 to JCE and Akeeba Backup, run on our LAMP stack with the PHP extensions and memory limits they expect.
- Clean SEF URLs. Apache mod_rewrite is enabled, so you can turn on Joomla's Search Engine Friendly URLs and drop index.php from the path straight from Global Configuration.
- OPcache and Redis. OPcache keeps compiled PHP warm, and you can point Joomla's cache at Redis to move it out of the database and speed up busy sites and logged-in editors.
- Real cron for scheduled tasks. Schedule cron jobs in cPanel to fire Joomla's Scheduled Tasks and extension cron on time, so mailings and cleanup run on a clock rather than on random visits.
- Free migration and CloudLinux isolation. Our team moves an existing Joomla site for free on annual plans, and CloudLinux gives your account its own guaranteed CPU and RAM so a neighbor never slows you down.
What Joomla customers ask before choosing a plan.
The questions our sales team gets every week. If yours is not here, drop us a line.
Can I install Joomla with one click?
Yes. Every Ultra hosting plan includes Softaculous, which installs Joomla in one click from your cPanel control panel. Softaculous also handles Joomla version upgrades and lets you create a one-click backup before upgrading, so you can roll back safely if a template or extension breaks.
What Joomla versions do you support?
Our servers support Joomla 3, 4, and 5. We run PHP 7.4 through 8.3 with MariaDB and the required PHP extensions (mbstring, intl, gd, mysqli, curl, zip, xml, json), meeting and exceeding the system requirements for every current Joomla release.
Can you migrate my existing Joomla site?
Yes. With any annual or longer hosting plan, our team will migrate your Joomla site for free. We move your files, database, email accounts, and configuration, then stage the new copy under a temporary URL so you can verify everything works before the DNS cutover from your old host.
Is Joomla hosting different from regular shared hosting?
It is the same plan under the hood. What makes it Joomla hosting is that our servers already carry the PHP version, MariaDB tuning, required extensions, and caching layers a Joomla site wants. You get the same cPanel, the same features, and the same pricing as any Ultra shared hosting customer.
Do you support Joomla multilingual sites?
Yes. Joomla's built-in multilingual feature works out of the box on our LAMP stack. UTF-8 character sets are enabled, the required PHP intl and mbstring extensions are installed, and MariaDB collations support every language Joomla ships with. No additional configuration required.
What PHP extensions does Joomla need?
Joomla 4 and 5 require mbstring, intl, gd, mysqli (or pdo_mysql), curl, zip, xml, and json. All of these ship enabled by default on every Ultra hosting plan. SimpleXML, openssl, and fileinfo (used by core extensions) are also enabled. You can verify the full list from System, System Information inside the Joomla admin.
Do Joomla extensions like K2, JCE, and VirtueMart work?
Yes. Every major Joomla extension we have tested runs without issue on our LAMP stack. VirtueMart, HikaShop, J2Store, K2, JCE, Akeeba Backup, RSForm Pro, JoomShopping, sh404SEF, and the rest of the popular ecosystem all install and run normally. CloudLinux PHP Selector lets you tune memory and execution limits per account if a particular extension needs more headroom.
What is your refund policy?
Ultra Joomla hosting includes a 45-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through the client area within 45 days of signup for a full refund on the hosting service. Domain registration fees are non-refundable since they are paid to the registry on your behalf.
