What every plan includes

Everything your Sulu site needs.

LiteSpeed Performance

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

Symfony & Composer

Sulu is built on Symfony; full Composer and console access over SSH lets you manage bundles, cache and migrations.

MySQL / MariaDB

Run Sulu on PHP 8.2+ with MySQL or MariaDB, tuned for its Symfony content repository.

Multilayered Sulu Security

WAF firewall, CageFS isolation, mod_security and daily malware scanning protect your Sulu site at every level.

Up to 4x Daily Backups

Automated offsite backups up to 4x daily keep your Sulu data safe and quick to recover.

24x7 UK Support

Our UK team with 20+ years' experience handles Sulu issues via live chat and tickets around the clock.

Deploying Sulu

Check the Sulu and Symfony requirements against PHP, extensions and the database. Agree cache warm-up, console tasks, search services and any background processing before choosing a plan.

Moving your Sulu site

Transfer media and database content together. Check webspace configuration, environment variables, admin access, translated routes and search after the move.

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.

Hosting a Sulu project like the Symfony application it is

Sulu is a content management platform built on Symfony, aimed at enterprise and agency projects that need structured content, multiple sites and languages, and a proper developer workflow. A Sulu project is a Symfony application: Composer for dependencies, a database, the Symfony console for setup and cache, and a deployment step rather than a file upload.

That's the shape of hosting we provide. SSH with Composer and the Symfony CLI available, PHP 8 switchable per site, MySQL or PostgreSQL on NVMe, and a cron entry for the scheduler and any Symfony Messenger workers the project runs. Deploy with Deployer, a Git pull, or CI over SSH; the web root points at the public directory as Symfony expects.

Sulu also offers its own cloud hosting. If the project has no other sites around it and the team is happy there, that's a reasonable choice. A UK host suits agencies with several Sulu or Symfony projects, UK data residency requirements, or a mixed portfolio they'd rather keep in one control panel.

What's set up for a Sulu application

Composer and Symfony CLI

Over SSH, so composer install and bin/console run as the Sulu docs show.

Database on NVMe

MySQL or PostgreSQL, sized to the project and backed up off-site.

Cron and workers

A cron entry for the scheduler; Messenger workers on a VPS where the project needs them.

Staging and Git deploys

A staging site on the same plan, deploys by pull or CI push.

Shared plan or VPS for Sulu

A single Sulu site with a normal editorial load runs well on a shared cloud plan. Move to a managed VPS when the project runs long-lived workers, needs Redis or Varnish in front, or wants root access for its own deployment pipeline. Migrating between the two is a Composer project, a database and the uploads directory, which we move for free.

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

0333 090 4540
Which environment does Sulu need?
Check the Sulu and Symfony requirements against PHP, extensions and the database. Agree cache warm-up, console tasks, search services and any background processing before choosing a plan.
What is included in the migration plan?
Transfer media and database content together. Check webspace configuration, environment variables, admin access, translated routes and search after the move.
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.
What does a Sulu project need from hosting?
What any Symfony application needs: a current PHP 8 release, Composer and the Symfony console over SSH, a MySQL or PostgreSQL database, a cron entry for scheduled tasks, and the web root pointed at the public directory. All of that is on every plan.
Can I deploy Sulu with Deployer or CI?
Yes. SSH access and Git are on every plan, so Deployer recipes, a Git pull or a CI push over SSH all work. Composer install and cache warm-up run on the server as part of the deploy.
Do you migrate Sulu sites from Sulu Cloud or another host?
Yes, free. We move the Composer project, the database and the uploads, run the setup on a staging address so you can check the admin and a page save, then switch DNS.
