I can't rate the guys at Snappy Host highly enough. They go above and beyond to help, and I couldn't run my websites without them. Highly rated.

What every plan includes
Everything your Joomla site needs.
Free Managed Migrations
Our 24x7 UK support team migrates your Joomla website free of charge, handling the whole process from testing to set-up with no downtime.
Active Site Monitoring
Our monitoring software watches your Joomla website around the clock, and our team investigates anything unusual as quickly as possible.
24x7 UK-Based Support
A UK team with over 20 years of experience, available via live chat and ticket support to resolve any issue with your Joomla Hosting.
Up to 4x Daily Backups
Automated offsite backups are taken up to four times a day, keeping your Joomla site's data safe, secure and easy to restore.
LiteSpeed Server
Exceptional speed from our custom LiteSpeed/LiteMage stack with LSCache built in, optimised for Joomla, Magento and eCommerce.
Unlimited Email Accounts
Create as many IMAP and POP3 professional mailboxes as you need with your Joomla Hosting plan, each with a generous 10GB limit.
Deploying Joomla
Check the Joomla release, template and extension versions before choosing PHP. Rehearse extension updates and check the administrator login, menus and contact forms on staging.
Moving your Joomla site
Copy the database, uploaded media and configuration together. Confirm scheduled tasks and mail delivery, then test the original page paths and redirects.
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.
A Joomla hosting package with a one-click installer
Every Joomla web hosting plan here comes with a one-click installer, so a fresh Joomla install is a single step and updates to the core and extensions run from the Joomla admin as normal. The PHP version is switchable per account across the current PHP 8 releases, which matters because Joomla 5 wants PHP 8.1 or newer and an older Joomla 3 site may not.
The database is MySQL or MariaDB on NVMe storage, with LiteSpeed serving pages and LSCache doing the page caching that Joomla's own cache plugin can't match on its own. Free SSL is issued automatically for every domain, and a web application firewall and daily malware scanning run on every account.
Email is included too: unlimited IMAP and POP3 mailboxes on your domain, with webmail. It's the same UK cloud hosting platform our WordPress and agency customers run on; Joomla is simply another PHP application on it.
One-click Joomla install
The one-click installer sets up the current Joomla release, with updates from the Joomla admin.
PHP 8, per site
Pick the PHP 8 release your Joomla version and extensions support, and change it per site.
Free SSL and firewall
Let's Encrypt certificates on every domain, a WAF in front, malware scanning daily.
Staging and backups
Staging copies for testing an upgrade, and off-site backups you can restore from.
Moving your Joomla website to a faster host
A Joomla migration is the site files, the database and configuration.php, then a check of the administrator login, the menus, the template and any forms. We do it free, our UK team runs it, and the site goes on a staging URL first so you can click through before DNS changes.
The usual reason people move a Joomla site is that it's got slow on a host that's still on Apache and spinning disks. LiteSpeed with LSCache on NVMe is a different experience for the same site, and it's where the speed claim on this page comes from rather than any tuning we've done to Joomla itself.
Joomla 5, Joomla 4, and upgrading between them
Joomla 4 to 5 is a supported in-place upgrade with a compatibility plugin for older extensions, and it's worth doing: Joomla 5 is faster and its security support runs longer. Joomla 3 sites are a bigger job, usually a migration to a fresh install with the content carried across.
Either way, run it on a staging copy first. Staging gives you a clone of the live site to test the upgrade, the template and the extensions, and you only touch the live site once it works. If an extension isn't ready for Joomla 5, you'll find out on the copy.
Check the official Joomla requirements for your release, then plan the migration with us. See our hosting platform for the infrastructure behind the plans.

Which environment does Joomla need?
Check the Joomla release, template and extension versions before choosing PHP. Rehearse extension updates and check the administrator login, menus and contact forms on staging.
What is included in the migration plan?
Copy the database, uploaded media and configuration together. Confirm scheduled tasks and mail delivery, then test the original page paths and redirects.
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.
Is Joomla a one-click install?
Yes. The one-click installer sets up the current Joomla release in one step, and updates to the core and extensions run from the Joomla administrator afterwards.
Which PHP version does Joomla need?
Joomla 5 needs PHP 8.1 or newer, and Joomla 4 runs on PHP 8 as well. You can set the PHP version per account in the control panel and change it when you upgrade.
Can you move my Joomla site from another host?
Yes, free. We copy the files, database and configuration, put the site on a staging address so you can check the admin, menus and forms, then switch DNS with no downtime.
