What every plan includes
Everything your MODX site needs.
LiteSpeed MODX Speed
Cache eligible public pages to reduce repeated application work. Check personalised pages, cache exclusions and background processing for your installation.
Multilayered MODX Security
WAF firewall, mod_security, CageFS isolation and daily malware scanning protect your MODX site at every level.
Free MODX Migrations
Our 24x7 UK team migrates your MODX website free of charge, handling everything from testing to go-live with no downtime.
Fast MySQL Databases
Isolated MySQL databases on NVMe SSD keep your MODX Revolution content and manager responsive even under heavy load.
24x7 UK Support
A UK-based team with 20+ years' experience is on hand via live chat and tickets whenever your MODX site needs help.
100% NVMe SSD
Every MODX hosting plan is deployed on pure NVMe SSD storage in isolated cPanel accounts for VPS-like speed.
Deploying MODX
Review custom snippets, extras and manager access against the chosen PHP version. Check rewrite rules so friendly URLs resolve correctly.
Moving your MODX site
Move the database and uploaded files together, check configuration paths and clear application caches. Test forms and protected resources as well as public pages.
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.
MODX Cloud or a UK MODX host
MODX Cloud is the official hosting from the MODX team, and it's built around MODX specifically. It's a good product if you want the MODX-only workflow and its pricing suits the project. A UK web host running MODX on a standard LiteSpeed plan is the other route: your site sits in a UK data centre, you pay in pounds, and MODX shares a control panel with everything else you host.
MODX Revolution is a PHP application with a MySQL or MariaDB database and no unusual requirements, so it runs well on the shared platform here. PHP 8 is switchable per site, the database is on NVMe, and LSCache caches the rendered pages in front of MODX's own cache. For an agency with a MODX site among a dozen WordPress ones, keeping them on the same plan is usually the deciding factor.
Installing and running MODX here
Upload the MODX Revolution package to the account, create a database in the control panel and run the setup in the browser; the installer checks the PHP version and extensions and tells you if anything is missing. From there, Extras install from the MODX Package Manager as normal, and the MODX Manager runs over free SSL on the domain.
Backups are off-site and restorable, a web application firewall sits in front of the site, and malware scanning runs daily. MODX is good for SEO out of the box because you control the whole template and every URL, and a fast host is the other half of that: pages served from LSCache on NVMe give you the load times the clean markup deserves.
PHP 8 per site
Match the PHP release to your MODX version and change it when you upgrade Revolution.
MySQL or MariaDB on NVMe
The database MODX expects, on fast storage, backed up off-site.
Free SSL on the Manager
Let's Encrypt on every domain, including the MODX Manager login.
Firewall and scanning
WAF in front, daily malware scanning, DDoS protection at the edge.
MODX on a VPS
Most MODX sites belong on a shared plan. A MODX VPS makes sense when the site is a large application with heavy custom snippets, when you need a PHP extension the shared platform does not ship, or when you want root access for your own deployment tooling. A managed UK VPS gives you that with the patching and monitoring done by us; the plan table is on the VPS page.
Check the official MODX requirements for your release, then plan the migration with us. See our hosting platform for the infrastructure behind the plans.

DDoS protection
Always-on mitigation upstream of our network, filtering attack traffic 24x7 before it reaches your server. Included on every plan at no extra cost.
Which environment does MODX need?
Review custom snippets, extras and manager access against the chosen PHP version. Check rewrite rules so friendly URLs resolve correctly.
What is included in the migration plan?
Move the database and uploaded files together, check configuration paths and clear application caches. Test forms and protected resources as well as public pages.
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 MODX a good CMS?
For developers who want total control of the markup and the URLs, yes: MODX gets out of the way and does not impose a theme structure. It has a smaller ecosystem than WordPress, so it suits custom builds more than sites assembled from plugins.
How do I install MODX?
Upload the MODX Revolution package to the account, create a database in the control panel, and open the setup URL in your browser. The installer checks PHP and writes the config. Extras then install from the Package Manager inside the MODX Manager.
Is this an alternative to MODX Cloud?
Yes. MODX Cloud is the official MODX-only hosting. Here MODX runs on a standard UK LiteSpeed plan with PHP 8, NVMe and free SSL, alongside anything else you host, with your data in UK data centres and free migration.
