Joomla Web Hosting

Joomla 5 needs a modern PHP and database stack, plus a host that will not fight your extensions when you update. Use this checklist when you compare Joomla hosts.

What we align to

• PHP suitable for current Joomla 5 releases, selectable in your hosting panel. Joomla.org requires modern PHP (8.1+) for current releases.
• MySQL or MariaDB for Joomla’s database layer.
• LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache support for Joomla on every plan we sell.
• NVMe SSD storage for files and database I/O (10 / 25 / 50 GB by plan).
• One-click Joomla install plus staging so you can test before production.
• Free SSL on every plan.
• Free best-effort migration help when you move from another host.
• Support from people who work in Joomla day to day (Official Joomla Service Provider).

What this means for you

You should not have to chase a generic shared hosting FAQ to learn whether Joomla 5 will run. If a comparison table asks for PHP, storage type, cache stack, staging, and migration, Check these answers against any host you compare.

Speed claims are easy to write and hard to prove. Here is the stack that powers Joomla hosting at Simple Source Solutions (getsimple.net), in one place:

We do not ask you to trust a vague “blazing fast” line alone. The plans show NVMe sizes; the FAQ confirms LiteSpeed + LSCache; support knows Joomla when cache or extension conflicts show up.

Updating Joomla core, a template, or a critical extension on production is how quiet evenings become emergency tickets. Staging exists so you can break things safely first.

How it works on your hosting panel

1. Open your hosting panel for the Joomla site.
2. Create a staging copy of the site (or clone a site when you need a full copy).
3. Test updates there: run the update, extension change, or redesign on staging and check the front end and admin.
4. Apply the same change on production when you are satisfied.

One-click Joomla installation and staging are already included on Joomla plans. Use staging for version jumps, PHP changes, and any extension that touches checkout, membership, or multilingual.

Switching hosts should not mean a weekend of manual export and broken links. Free best-effort WordPress and Joomla migration from your current host is included with new accounts, via a Get Simple account support ticket or self-serve.

Typical steps

1. Choose a plan – Starter, Simple, or Business based on site count and NVMe storage.
2. Open a migration request – Submit a Get Simple account support ticket with where the site lives now and when you prefer the cutover (or migrate yourself if you prefer self-serve).
3. We move the site best-effort – Files, database, and configuration are brought into your new account with support help when you request it. You are not stuck doing export/import alone if you ask for help.
4. Preview before DNS – Confirm the site on a temporary preview before DNS is live when available.
5. Update DNS – You point the domain when files are ready; SSL is free on every plan.
6. Post-move check – Extensions, admin login, forms, and cache (LSCache) get a sanity pass with support if needed.

What we need from you

• Control panel or FTP/SFTP access at the old host, or a cooperating old-host support contact
• Confirmation of which domains and Joomla sites move
• A maintenance window if the site is high traffic

We plan cutover carefully. Free best-effort migration is the promise already live on the page.

Generic shared hosting can “run” Joomla the same way a parking lot can “store” a race car. The CMS installs. The pain shows up later: PHP mismatches, cache plugins fighting each other, staging that does not exist, and support scripts that have never opened a Joomla admin.

Simple Source Solutions is an Official Joomla Service Provider. Joomla hosting here is built around:

• People who understand Joomla extensions and updates
• LiteSpeed + LSCache and NVMe sized for real CMS sites
• Staging and one-click install so changes are testable
• Free best-effort migration when you leave a generic host
• Isolated environments, free SSL, Global DNS, and Off-server backups are included on one schedule, at least 48 hours apart, and are kept for 30 days.

You still pick a clear plan size (1 Joomla site on each plan). You do not need a larger footprint on day one for most brochure or membership sites. If you outgrow shared-style limits, ask support about the next step rather than guessing from a megahost comparison chart.

Same three plans you see above. Numbers match the live plans:

Month-to-month or yearly. No long-term contracts.

Renewal follows the list price shown for your plan term; confirm at checkout for your term.

Yearly “save $X” figures match the live plans; if monthly rates change, those save lines update with the plans.

What is Joomla hosting?

Joomla hosting is web hosting configured for the Joomla CMS, including PHP/MySQL, one-click install, staging, and a stack tuned for Joomla extensions and updates.

Why choose Simple Source for Joomla?

We are an Official Joomla Service Provider. Plans include NVMe SSD storage, LiteSpeed with LSCache for Joomla, free SSL, free migration, staging, and 24/7/365 support from people who work in Joomla.

Do you migrate my existing Joomla site?

Yes. Free migration from your current host is included. We move the site so you are not stuck with manual export/import.

Is Joomla hosting on LiteSpeed and NVMe?

Yes. Joomla plans use NVMe SSD storage and LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache to keep dynamic Joomla pages fast.

Can I stage and test changes?

Yes. One-click Joomla installation and staging are included so you can test updates before they go live.

How much does Joomla hosting cost?

Starter is $10/mo (1 Joomla site, 10 GB NVMe, 1 TB fair-use bandwidth), Simple is $20/mo (1 site, 25 GB, 3 TB), and Business is $49/mo (1 site, 50 GB, 8 TB fair use). Each plan is one site. The price on the plan is the renewal price. See Hosting plans: Starter, Simple, and Business.

Can I host more than one Joomla site on one plan?

No. Each plan is one site. If you need another site, order another plan.

Is email included with Joomla hosting?

Starter: no email. Bring your own. Simple includes 2 mailboxes, 5 GB each; upgrades to 5 or 10. Business includes 5 mailboxes, 5 GB each, with more mail options to grow with you. A full mailbox is a mail upgrade, not a site-disk problem.

Is managed Joomla hosting worth it?

If “managed” means someone else owns the server OS while you only get a ticket bot, maybe not. If it means Joomla-aware support, staging, migration help, and a stack already tuned for Joomla (LiteSpeed, LSCache, NVMe), it usually costs less than one failed upgrade weekend. Simple Source plans include those pieces on the plans above; we do not sell a separate managed Joomla SKU.

Which plan fits my Joomla site?

Most Joomla brochure, blog, and modest membership sites fit Starter, Simple, or Business on our isolated environments. When you need more than the Business plan, ask support about the next step before you overbuy. Start on the plan that matches storage and resources for that one site.

Are you listed as a Joomla Service Provider?

Yes. Simple Source Solutions is listed in the official Joomla Service Providers Directory under Hosting Providers and Consulting.
