Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our hosting services. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, contact us and we’ll help.
Getting Started
What makes Simple Source Solutions different?
We’ve been providing reliable web hosting since 2008 with a strong focus on Joomla and WordPress. We use modern infrastructure (LiteSpeed + NVMe) and prioritize fast, helpful support instead of overloading servers.
Do you still use cPanel?
No. We moved to a modern, lightweight control panel called Enhance. It’s faster, cleaner, and built for modern hosting needs.
How do I get started?
Choose a plan above, complete checkout, and we’ll help you get your site online. You can also request a free migration if you’re moving from another host.
How long after I sign up can I start building my site?
As soon as our team approves your account. For new customers, the hosting service shows In Review in your client area until we approve it. You get a welcome email when you sign up, and a “Your GetSimple.net account is ready” email when your account is live. Then:
- Sign in to your Get Simple account and open your hosting panel (how).
- Open your site in the panel and use its preview link to build while your domain still points elsewhere.
- Point your domain at us when you are ready (how). DNS changes can take from a few minutes up to 24 to 48 hours.
- Your free SSL certificate is requested automatically once the domain points at your hosting.
WordPress or Joomla is not installed at signup. Install it from your hosting panel once your account is ready (WordPress, Joomla).
Moving an existing site? Request a free migration (best effort) after you sign up, and we will help you move it.

Will my price increase when I renew?
The price on each plan we sell is its renewal price. There is no introductory price. See how renewal prices work.
Performance & LiteSpeed
What is LiteSpeed hosting?
LiteSpeed is a web server that uses server-level caching (LSCache). All of our plans run on LiteSpeed + LSCache.
Will switching to you make my site faster?
Your plan runs on LiteSpeed with LSCache and NVMe SSD storage. Speed also depends on your theme, plugins, and database.
Do you use NVMe SSD storage?
Yes. All plans use NVMe SSD storage. See how it compares on our SSD shared hosting page.
Migrations
Can you migrate my site for me?
Yes. We offer free migrations from your current host. After signing up, open a support ticket and we’ll handle the move for you.
Support
What kind of support do you offer?
We provide real human support 24/7/365 via ticket. Our team has strong experience with both Joomla and WordPress.
Security & Backups
How often do you back up websites?
We run one off-server backup schedule, at least 48 hours apart, and keep those backups for 30 days.
Do you include SSL certificates?
Yes. A free SSL certificate is included with every hosting plan.
Joomla Hosting
Is Joomla pre-installed?
No. Joomla is not installed at signup. Once your account is ready, you can install it from your hosting panel. See Install Joomla.
Can I create staging sites?
Yes. Our platform makes it easy to create staging or clone environments so you can test changes safely before going live.
Billing & Account
Can I move to a bigger plan later?
Need more room? Ask us and we will move you to a bigger plan at its listed price.
How do I cancel?
Log in to your client area and cancel the service before the next period starts. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. There is no refund for unused time, except the 90-day money-back on new hosting (hosting fees only; domains excluded). Canceling hosting does not cancel a domain, and canceling a domain does not cancel hosting. See our Terms.
