Good hosting is where great websites begin. Find a provider that fits, understand your options, and give your Joomla site room to grow.
Shared hosting or a self-managed server: two different approaches.
Understand who maintains what before you choose.
A control-panel hosting option for Joomla owners who prefer the provider to maintain the underlying server. Check application support and plan limits before choosing.
More control. Room to grow. A cloud platform for Joomla owners who want to build and manage their own hosting environment.

We cover GreenGeeks shared hosting and Vultr self-managed cloud servers. The profiles explain their different responsibilities and limits. This is a small, documentation-based directory, not a market-wide ranking.
Vultr Cloud Compute provides cloud infrastructure. You’re responsible for installing and maintaining Joomla and your server stack, or arranging management separately. Read our Vultr overview for the practical trade-offs.
Provider links are affiliate links. If you sign up and meet the programme’s conditions, we may earn a commission. You can read more in our affiliate disclosure.
