About MODX
MODX is an open-source content management platform that deliberately imposes no markup of its own. You write the HTML, define your own template variables, and MODX assembles the page — so the output is exactly what you wrote, with nothing injected around it.
- Version we install
- 3.1.2
A database is created for it automatically.
Why people choose MODX
MODX is chosen where the design is not negotiable. Agencies use it when a client has a pixel-exact build and the CMS must not add a single wrapper div, and developers stay with it because the templating and snippet model is genuinely flexible without becoming a framework you have to learn twice.
What our hosting does for MODX
- You choose the PHP version and can change its settings, which matters for a platform whose sites are often long-lived and whose add-ons are pinned to particular releases.
- Scheduled tasks are included, so cache warming, index rebuilds and any add-on that needs a regular trigger run to time rather than on a visitor's page load.
- Content delivery caching and the site accelerator sit in front of the site, so a page MODX has assembled is served from the edge instead of being rebuilt for every reader.
Plans and pricing
MODX runs on our Linux hosting. One plan, everything included.
- Try it firstEvery managed plan starts with a free trial of 14 days, so you can put a real site on it before you pay for anything.
- 30-day money-back guaranteeIf a managed plan is not right for you, tell us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it. Application hosting is covered. Read the refund policy
- Real support, includedSupport is included on every plan, from people who run this platform rather than a script. Accounts that cannot wait can go to the front of the queue. How priority support works

Questions people ask before they buy
How do I install MODX?
From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose MODX, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.
Which version do you install?
The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.
Can I run other applications alongside it?
Yes. There is no cap on websites or databases on our Linux plan, so you can run MODX beside anything else on this list.
Do I get SSH and database access?
Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.
Where will it be hosted?
London, Dallas or Singapore — your choice, all live today.
Can you migrate an existing MODX site?
Yes. Send us the details of your current host and our team runs the migration for you.
