How to Pick Up the Real Quality Web Hosting for Joomla

Joomla can be regarded as one of the most widely used content management systems on the web, downloaded by millions of webmasters for setting up different kinds of websites featuring different sizes. Due to this circumstance, almost all the web hosts claim that they offer the 100% compatible Joomla hosting service, coming with great quality at an affordable price. Is it true? Of course not.

In the following, we’d like to tell you how to pick up the real quality Joomla hosting by checking some necessary requirements. Note that never believe the promises of your web hosts, but review their services carefully to figure out whether they can meet their words.



Joomla Compatibility

This is the first thing you need to take into account. If your selected web host fails to fulfill the 100% Joomla compatibility, your may face lots of running issues of your site.

According to the official site of Joomla.org, the minimum requirements of Joomla software are PHP with the version higher than 5.3, MySQL with the version higher than 5.1 and Apache with the version higher than 2.x. Note that these requirements are better for Joomla 3. If you use some lower versions, the requirements can be downgraded.

Hosting Price

After making sure that your hosting package is absolutely Joomla compatible, you should pay attention to the prices. Generally, the web hosting charge is around $10/mo. Thus, if your web host charges you more than $15 each month, you’d better not to choose it. After all, you can even purchase a VPS hosting with this level of charge.

On the contrary, we do not recommend you to choose some extremely cheap or even free solutions, for these hosting packages are generally full of scams and frauds. Personally thinking, from $4/mo to $7/mo can be viewed as a moderate price range for Joomla hosting.
