CMS Hosting

What is CMS hosting, after all? CMS hosting is a specialised type of web hosting tailored to optimise the performance, security, and ease of use of Content Management Systems (CMS) sites like WordPress, Joomla hosting, Drupal hosting, and others.

It goes beyond standard web hosting by providing features and configurations specifically designed for these platforms. This includes streamlined setup processes for quick CMS deployment, server configurations and caching mechanisms to ensure fast page loading speeds.

Your host, free or not free, should also offer strong enhanced security measures to protect against common CMS vulnerabilities, specialised technical assistance from experts familiar with the intricacies of various CMS platforms, and automatic updates to the CMS core software and plugins to maintain security and functionality.

Content Management Systems (CMS) offer numerous advantages over traditional website-building methods. They are designed to be user-friendly, even for those with no technical expertise, allowing you to easily create, edit, and publish content without writing code.

CMS platforms offer a wide range of themes and plugins to customise the look and functionality of your website to match your brand and needs. They are also scalable, easily growing with your content and traffic, accommodating everything from small blogs to large e-commerce sites.

Most popular CMS platforms have large and active communities, offering support, resources, and a wealth of plugins and extensions. Additionally, many CMS platforms are built with SEO best practices in mind, helping your website rank higher in search engine results.

There are different ways to host content on a website. The easiest and most popular method for sites, especially for non-technical users, is to use a Content Management System (CMS).

You choose a CMS platform (like WordPress, Joomla!, or Drupal), install it on your web hosting account, and then use the CMS interface to create and manage your content. The other method is to code your website from scratch, which requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, and potentially other programming languages.

This method offers more flexibility and control but is much more complex and time-consuming. OVHcloud offers both options, with optimised CMS hosting solutions and flexible web hosting plans for custom-coded websites.

You can use our shared hosting to host multiple Content Management Systems (CMS) on OVHcloud. Our web hosting plans offer the flexibility to install and run different CMS platforms on separate domains or subdomains.

This allows you to manage multiple sites with different purposes or audiences from a single hosting account, providing you with convenience and centralised control over your online presence.

While both CMS hosting and web hosting provide the infrastructure, processor, RAM, and storage for your website to exist online, CMS hosting is a specialised type of web hosting that caters specifically to the needs of content management systems.

It includes features like one-click CMS installation, optimised performance for specific CMS platforms, enhanced security measures tailored for CMS vulnerabilities, and specialised technical support knowledgeable about various CMS platforms. Web hosting, on the other hand, is a more general service that can host any type of website but may not have the same level of optimisation and specialised support for CMS platforms.

OVHcloud offers several benefits for CMS hosting, including high-performance infrastructure for fast website speeds, robust security measures to protect your website and visitor data, and 24/7 expert support to assist you with any technical issues.

Our hosting is optimised configurations for popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla!, and Drupal, scalable resources to accommodate your website's growth, and cost-effective solutions to fit your budget. We also offer additional features like free SSL certificates, unlimited daily backups, and a user-friendly control panel to make managing your website easier.
