What every plan includes

Everything your Grav site needs.

LiteSpeed Grav Speed

Cache eligible public pages to reduce repeated application work. Check personalised pages, cache exclusions and background processing for your installation.

Flat-File, No Database

Grav needs no MySQL database, content lives in flat files, so deployments are simpler and there's nothing extra to tune or break.

Multilayered Grav Security

WAF firewall, mod_security, CageFS isolation and daily malware scanning protect your Grav site, with no database to expose.

Free Grav Migrations

Our 24x7 UK team migrates your Grav website free of charge, handling everything from testing to go-live with no downtime.

Git & SFTP Deploys

Manage your flat-file Grav site with Git, SFTP or cPanel, version content easily and push changes with no database migration.

24x7 UK Support

A UK-based team with 20+ years' experience is on hand via live chat and tickets whenever your Grav site needs help.

Deploying Grav

Check PHP extensions and the requirements of the theme and plugins. Decide how file edits made in the admin panel will coexist with deployments from Git.

Moving your Grav site

Copy the user content, configuration, plugins and themes, with permissions that allow the intended editing workflow. Rebuild caches and check media and routes.

Agree a final data sync and the DNS change after staging checks pass. Keep the old service available through the transition and check backups on the destination.

Why Grav is easy to host, and what still matters

Grav is a flat-file CMS: content lives as Markdown files in folders, there's no database to create or back up, and a whole site is a directory you can copy or keep in Git. That makes it one of the simplest platforms to host. What a Grav host still has to get right is PHP: Grav wants a current PHP 8 release with a handful of extensions, and it's fastest with an opcode cache in front of it.

Every plan here has PHP 8 switchable per site with the extensions Grav needs, SSH for the Grav CLI, and Git for the Git Sync plugin if you edit locally and push. NVMe storage suits a file-based CMS well: every page render is file reads, and NVMe makes those quick. LSCache sits in front for the pages Grav has already rendered.

Running Grav day to day

Install Grav by uploading the Grav Core plus Admin package and opening the site; the Admin plugin gives editors a browser interface so nobody has to touch Markdown who doesn't want to. Themes and plugins install from the Admin or with the Grav CLI over SSH. Updates run from the Admin dashboard, and because there's no database, a backup is the folder: Grav's own backup command zips it, and our off-site backups cover the account as well.

If you develop locally, the Git Sync plugin keeps the server in step with your repository, so the hosting workflow is a git push. Staging is a second folder or a second site on the same plan.

PHP 8 with the right extensions

Grav's requirements met out of the box, and the version switchable per site.

Git Sync ready

Git on the account, so the Git Sync plugin pushes and pulls without workarounds.

Grav CLI over SSH

bin/gpm and bin/grav for installs, updates and cache clears.

Free SSL and backups

Let's Encrypt on every domain; off-site backups of the whole account.

Moving a Grav site

The easiest migration on this list. A Grav site is its folder: user, system and the installed plugins and themes. We copy it, set the PHP version, check the Admin login and a page save on a staging address, and switch DNS. Free, done by our UK team, usually the same day.

Check the official Grav requirements for your release, then plan the migration with us. See our hosting platform for the infrastructure behind the plans.

The right stack

0333 090 4540
Which environment does Grav need?
Check PHP extensions and the requirements of the theme and plugins. Decide how file edits made in the admin panel will coexist with deployments from Git.
What is included in the migration plan?
Copy the user content, configuration, plugins and themes, with permissions that allow the intended editing workflow. Rebuild caches and check media and routes.
Will my site fit the lowest-priced plan?
We check the application version, services, traffic and peak resource usage first. The smallest plan is a starting point for comparison, not a promise that every installation fits it.
Are software licences included?
Hosting prices cover the plan shown. Confirm any CMS, database, plugin and external-service licences separately before ordering.
Does Grav need a database?
No. Grav stores pages as Markdown files in folders, so there is no MySQL to set up or back up. That is also why it is quick on NVMe storage: every render is file reads.
Can I use Git Sync with Grav here?
Yes. Git is available on every plan, so the Git Sync plugin can push and pull between the server and your repository the way its documentation describes.
Which PHP version does Grav need?
A current PHP 8 release with the extensions listed in Grav's requirements. All are available and the version is switchable per site in the control panel.
