Shared Joomla website hosting is the most economical website hosting for non critical business websites or for personal and hobby websites as long as you use a very reliable host. We have been hosting Joomla! sites since it evolved as a fork of Mambo in 2005, we fully understand the requirements, and the consequences of not using adequate hosting.
Shared website hosting enables multiple websites to share the same server resources, including storage space,memory, CPU and IP address. Shared hosting is cost-effective because the price of running a whole server is split between multiple users usually making it more affordable than other website hosting options.
Another benefit of shared website hosting is its user-friendliness, most shared hosting comes with beginner friendly control panels that simplify website management and include things like a file manager for example.
The shared environment means that your website's performance can be affected by the resources used by other websites hosted on the same server. During peak traffic times your site can experience slow loading times and reduced responsiveness. Usually there are restrictions to server access and customisation as well as security concerns as a vulnerability in one website could potentially be exploited to affect others.
We found that Siteground was the best shared host optimised for Joomla sites for many years, we have located several hundred sites there over the last fifteen years or so, and tried at least another 20 hosts before we discovered Siteground. We support Joomla websites on many hosts and we often transfer sites from inadequate hosts, remove malware, infected files, clean up infected databases, and then transfer them to more reliable hosting. For new builds and transfers we recommend Hostinger or Scala Hosting where we host Joomla 5 sites.
We support and manage multiple sites for multiple clients at Hostinger, Scala Hosting and Siteground as well as transferring sites between all three, Should you require any assistance signing up or with your hosting or websites please CONTACT US and add us as a collaborator user in your account in the manage users section.

Do you take backups?
Yes, prior to making any changes to your Joomla website;
- We ensure you have an adequate backup system in place and take a backup of the site and database. Our preferred backup component is Akeeba Backup Professional for Joomla! (Commercial License $55), If your site doesn't already have it we will Install and configure it on your website.
- When a site has major issues or requires major extension upgrades, major Joomla version upgrades, template or template framework upgrades, major PHP version changes etc.. we clone the site and produce a test site to test changes prior to making changes to your live site. We are very experienced and understand which updates are safe and which updates cause problems. We prefer to put a test site on a sub domain to achieve some separation from a live site but this all depends on your hosting setup.
We have several VPS servers including a development Ubuntu/Plesk server with big storage attached where most Joomla sites we manage transfer an encrypted backup to each day. Apart from backup storage this is very useful to spin up a copy of a site for development, Joomla or PHP updates etc. This is useful if your host only allows one database for example and a test site is required for major updates, also on some occasions we have set up an older PHP version that most hosts don't allow so we can restore an old broken site for development.
Our Joomla Website Backup Services are available to ensure you constantly have a daily secure encrypted backup of your Joomla Website and database stored externally from your hosting.
