6 Best Joomla Hosting Providers

Bluehost includes a free domain, free SSL, and even a free CDN on its cheapest plans, meaning you don’t need to worry about sourcing or installing these separately. All plans come with 24/7 customer support too.

• Shared hosting: $2.95+ per month
• VPS hosting: $18.99+ per month
• Dedicated hosting: $79.99+ per month

All plans come with a 30-day money back guarantee. 

The fact Bluehost supports Joomla hosting on all its plans means you get tons of choice and freedom to pick a plan that best suits your needs. For example, if you’re just starting out you can sign up to Bluehost’s shared plans – they are the cheapest option, starting at just $2.95 per month.

For more control and reliability, or for running a larger website, Bluehost’s VPS plans start at $18.99 per month. For ultimate security and performance, you can choose a dedicated plan for $79.99 per month or more.

• 50GB SSD storage
• Free domain for one year
• Free CDN
• Free SSL
• Domain manager
• Unmetered bandwidth
• 20 MySQL databases

All of this is included on the cheapest plan – if you choose a more advanced plan then you also get automated backups, unlimited databases, more storage, and you can host an unlimited number of websites too.

More advanced types of hosting, such as VPS or dedicated, come with more advanced features such as root access and multi-server management.

If you already have a Joomla site hosted elsewhere, HostGator will transfer your existing site for free, which is a great perk that makes your life much easier!

• Shared hosting: $2.75+ per month
• VPS hosting: $19.95+ per month
• Reseller hosting: $19.95+ per month
• Dedicated hosting: $89.98+ per month

HostGator’s shared, VPS, and reseller plans come with a generous 45-day money back guarantee. Its dedicated hosting plans do not come with a money back guarantee.

• Unlimited storage
• Unmetered bandwidth
• One-click Joomla installation
• Free SSL
• Free domain
• MySQL databases

All plans come with 24/7 support, too!

Enhanced security, Joomla-specific support tutorials, and free website migration are all features designed to make your life as easy as possible.

• Launch: $5.99 per month
• Power: $5.99 per month
• Pro: $14.99 per month

Every plan comes with a free domain and a free SSL, plus unlimited bandwidth and at least 10 email addresses, so there are a lot of free perks included in your plan’s price.

InMotion has a generous 90-day money back guarantee, giving you plenty of time to decide if it’s the right host for you.

• Unlimited bandwidth
• One-click Joomla installation using Softaculous
• 10 – Unlimited email addresses
• 50B – 200GB SSD storage
• Free domain
• Free SSL
• 2 – 100 websites
• Security suite, including hack and malware protection and DDoS protection
• Marketing tools, including free advertising credits

This means that even its cheapest plan gives you the tools to successfully set up and grow your Joomla website.

A2 Hosting also offers free migration services for users who already have an existing Joomla website hosted elsewhere.

• Startup: $2.99 per month
• Drive: $5.99 per month
• Turbo Boost: $6.99 per month
• Turbo Max: $12.99 per month

You get a 30-day money back guarantee so that you can try your plan risk free.

However, it’s worth noting that you don’t get a free domain name, so you will need to factor the cost of a domain into your overall budget.

More advanced plans provide you with free automatic backups, Turbo servers, and Joomla LiteSpeed Cache for faster loading speeds.

You can either have Joomla pre-installed, which is the quickest option, or install it with one click using Softaculous, which will help you run Joomla updates in future.

All these features help to take the load off you to make running your site much easier!

• Lite: $2.49 per month
• Pro: $4.95 per month
• Premium: $8.95 per month

You’ll notice how cheap these prices are – in fact, GreenGeeks is the cheapest Joomla hosting provider on our list.

However, make sure to check your plan’s renewal rate. The cheapest Lite plan usually costs $10.95 per month, which is a big jump up from the $2.95 per month discount price. This actually makes sense, as GreenGeeks provides some pretty powerful features that you wouldn’t usually find at this low price point.

All GreenGeeks plans come with a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can try your plan risk free to see if it’s right for you.

Most hosts provide a free SSL – GreenGeeks goes a step further and throws in a free Wildcard SSL, meaning it can be used for multiple subdomains. GreenGeeks also includes LSCache (also known as LiteSpeed Cache) on all its Joomla hosting plans, which helps your site to load faster.

Daily backups, advanced security, and automatic updates all complete the package and make your site nice and easy to maintain.

That said, you may still need its support guides, because SiteGround doesn’t come with many Joomla-specific features to make your life as easy as possible. You can install Joomla using the App Installer, which is nice and simple, but you won’t find Joomla pre-installed for you.

That said, SiteGround only has a small range of hosting types:

• Shared hosting: $3.99+ per month
• Reseller hosting: $6.69+ per month
• Cloud hosting: $100+ per month

SiteGround has a 30-day money back guarantee so that you can try its plans risk free.

It’s worth mentioning that out of all the Joomla hosts we’ve covered, SiteGround has the worst value for money score in our research.

However, SiteGround’s limited disk space lets it down. The cheapest shared plan has 10GB, and the most expensive shared plan only has 40GB, which isn’t a lot compared to the other Joomla hosts on this list.
