FAQ. Craft CMS
Common questions, straight answers.
What is Craft CMS hosting?
Craft CMS hosting is a self-managed VPS where you run Craft CMS - the design-led, Composer-based PHP CMS by Pixel & Tonic. You get root SSH, NVMe storage, and dedicated resources to run Craft on your own LEMP stack.
What's the Craft license cost?
Craft offers a free Solo edition for personal projects. Pro and Team licenses are paid. We don't bundle Craft licenses - bring your own from craftcms.com. The infrastructure cost is separate from the Craft license fee.
Which PHP version does Craft 5 need?
Craft CMS 5 requires PHP 8.2 or 8.3. We recommend PHP 8.3 for the latest performance fixes. Available via apt on Ubuntu/Debian or dnf on Alma/Rocky.
MySQL or PostgreSQL?
Both are officially supported. MySQL 5.7.8+ or 8.0+, PostgreSQL 10+. Pick what your team knows - Craft handles both transparently. Most teams default to MySQL.
Can I install plugins?
Yes. Plugins are Composer packages. Install via the admin UI (which calls Composer behind the scenes) or directly with composer require ... Plugin Store integration works the same on a self-managed VPS.
How do I deploy a Craft site?
Most teams use Git + a deployment hook. Push to main, server pulls and runs composer install + craft up. Or use Forge, Buddy, GitHub Actions, or any CI you like. Root SSH means no restrictions.
What about backups?
Craft has a built-in DB backup tool, plus you can mysqldump or pg_dump directly. Combine with VPS-level snapshots from the panel for full disk state. Ship offsite for redundancy.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes - 14 days, full refund, no questions asked. Cancel from the panel anytime in the first two weeks.
