What is Joomla Hosting

The plugins can be found in a plugin directory for download. The plugins have been created by the active OpenSource supporters and community members. Joomla has approximately 8000 free and commercial use plugins to choose from.
Joomla, as majority of open source CMS, runs best with Linux hosting. It is essential to have any Linux hosting plan to run the Joomla site be it a simple 5 page website or a huge internet magazine. The Joomla is also working with PHP 5 and MySQL database, therefore it is compulsory to have these features installed on the server.
Joomla hosting features may vary depending on the size and functionality of a project. If it is a blog or simple representation website, basic features of shared web hosting are required. If it is more complex project with lots of features and users as well as visitors, it is recommended to host the site with Linux VPS hosting plan. The same plan is recommended for any eCommerce product with some additional features such as payment gateways and SSL certificates, therefore VPS will be good for a starting eCommerce project.

Community sites with huge activity and streamed media may require some specific services for instance CDN, which is already a cloud hosting solution.
Even though Joomla in considered as light CMS and saving server resources, some of plugins may be using the data from third parties, therefore the higher network speed and RAM may be required. These features should be predicted in advance to avoid unexpected errors because of too basic Joomla hosting features.
