Joomla hosting
Joomla hosting — three ways to run it, on one platform
Install Joomla in one click on our shared Linux platform, take a managed Joomla plan with it already running and patched for you, or take a whole cloud server with root access from a clean operating system or a ready Docker stack. Same platform, same dashboard, same support — move between them whenever the site outgrows the rung it is on.

What Joomla is
Joomla is a content management system for building websites and online applications. It sits between a simple blogging tool and a bespoke build: content types, categories and access levels are part of the core rather than something you add, so a site with several kinds of content and several kinds of visitor can be modelled without writing code for it.
Why teams build on Joomla
Joomla is chosen most often where a site has real structure and real editors — membership organisations, publishers, schools, government and multilingual sites. Multiple languages and granular user permissions are built in rather than bolted on, which is the usual reason a team picks it over the alternatives, and its extension directory covers most of what a content site needs.
What makes a Joomla site fast here
- Joomla is PHP and MySQL, so its speed is decided by three things: the PHP version it runs on, how much of the page can be served without touching PHP at all, and how close the database sits to the application. All three are yours to set here, and none of them costs extra.
- Every page a visitor does not need generated for them personally is served from an anycast CDN with image and asset optimisation at the edge — so a Joomla site with a big content catalogue answers from the nearest city rather than from the origin.
- You choose the PHP version and you control the settings and extensions, which matters more on Joomla than on most stacks: a large catalogue with many logged-in editors is memory-hungry, and the limits that throttle it are usually somebody else's defaults rather than a real ceiling.
- Backups are automatic on every rung, with the option to keep a month of the file system and two of the databases — so a bad extension update is something you roll back in a minute rather than something you rebuild in a weekend.
Plans and pricing
Three rungs of one product, not three products. The chooser below says which is which; underneath it are the actual plans, monthly or yearly, with any yearly saving shown on each one.
| Option | Best for | Installation | What you control | From, per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Managed application plan | Getting a real site live today, with the least to set up | Already installed when your account opens | Your site and its content — we run the server, the updates and the backups | $7.99 |
| Linux platform plan | The cheapest entry, and for running more than one kind of thing | One click from your dashboard, whenever you want it | Your sites, your PHP settings and your databases — we run the server | $2.99 |
| Cloud server | Traffic, memory or software the shared platform will not give you | You install it — the machine is built to the stack profile you choose | The whole machine, with root — we run the hardware, the network and the backups | $11.99 |

What you pay when the first term ends
Cheap hosting is usually cheap once. The industry sells a low first term paid years in advance and then renews at several times the price you signed up at. We do not do that, and here is the arithmetic beside three hosts that do.
| Host | What you pay up front for the advertised price | What the price does on renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Zinn Digital® | Nothing — pay monthly, or pay for a year up front and save. Every plan shows both prices before you buy. | Nothing. The price you see is the price you renew at |
| SiteGround | 12 months, in advance | Multiplies by 5.3 |
| Hostinger | 48 months, in advance | Multiplies by 3.6 |
| Bluehost | 36 months, in advance | Multiplies by 2.5 |
Read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-09-08. Their prices are theirs and they change; the multiple is the renewal price they publish divided by the price they advertise beside it.

Support is included, and somebody is always there
Every plan comes with it. There is no support tier to buy, no per-incident charge and no ticket allowance — and the desk is open 24 hours a day.
Free on every plan
Support is part of hosting, not an upsell. It is the same support on the smallest plan as on the largest, and nothing about it is counted or capped per incident.
Open 24 hours a day
Whatever hour you are working and whatever time zone you are in, the desk is staffed. You are not writing into an inbox that opens in the morning.
Every one of our 58 languages
Write your ticket in the language you actually think in — we translate it for our team and answer you in yours, with the original always one click away. We sell in all 58.
A person, not a bot
Our assistant answers instantly from the knowledge base, but it never closes a ticket for you. A ticket is picked up and answered by somebody who can act on it.
A click-fraud shield, free with every plan
Advertising your site? Every Zinn® hosting plan includes the Zinn® Ads click shield, running on the server with nothing to install: it spots bots and repeat clickers on your ads and keeps them away. Pair it with Zinn® Ads, multi-channel PPC automation that audits your ad accounts every day and runs fully automatic or asks you first.
- Included free with every Zinn® hosting plan, nothing to install
- Zinn® Ads has a free plan, no card needed

Renewable power, where we can show it
Our servers in Finland and Germany run on renewable electricity — sourced that way, not offset after the fact. For our United States and Singapore locations we have not verified the supply, so we do not claim it.
- Renewable electricity in our Finland and Germany data centres
- Data centres running at a PUE of 1.1 to 1.2
- Sites on our shared platform pass the Green Web Foundation's checks — a third party you can verify for yourself

Questions people ask before they buy
Do I get root access?
On a cloud server, yes — it is your machine and you have root over the whole thing. On the Linux platform and on a managed Joomla plan you get SSH, Git, cron and phpMyAdmin rather than root, because the server is shared and we keep it patched for you. If you need root, the cloud range is the rung to take.
Is Joomla already installed?
It depends on the rung, and we would rather say so than let you find out. On a managed Joomla plan, yes — the account is provisioned with Joomla on it and you log in and start. On a Linux platform plan it is one click from your dashboard, whenever you want it, along with the rest of our application catalogue. On a cloud server, no: you get a clean machine with root, from a clean operating system or a ready Docker stack, and you install PHP and Joomla the way your site needs them. Choosing a profile records what the machine is for; it does not install software.
Where will it be hosted?
A managed plan runs on our own server fleet, in the data centre you choose — the cities on offer today are listed on this page. A cloud server can be built in eight: Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Washington DC in North America; London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam in Europe; and Singapore in Asia. You pick the city when you order.
Can I move up later?
Yes, in every direction. The Linux platform and the managed Joomla plans step up as the site grows, and cloud sizes run from one core and 1 GB of memory to forty-eight cores and 128 GB. Moving up from a shared plan to a server of your own is a migration we do for you.
Is it managed, or am I on my own?
That is what the three rungs are for. On the Linux platform and on a managed plan we run the server and the software — updates, caching, SSL, malware scanning and backups are ours; the difference between those two is only whether Joomla is already installed when you arrive. On a cloud server the machine, the network and the provisioning are ours, daily backups are one switch away, and the software on top is yours.
Can I pay yearly?
Yes, on every rung. Every platform plan, every managed plan and every server size is sold monthly or yearly, and each plan shows both prices with any saving worked out for you — so you are never doing the arithmetic yourself. You can start monthly and switch later, and the price you sign up at is the price you renew at.
