When was the last time you thought about your hosting?

I don't mean "when did you pay the bill", but when did you consciously think about it? Because something was wrong. If that answer is yesterday, you don't have a website problem. You have a hosting problem.

Good hosting is not a lifeline, but a rock-solid foundation. You don't think about it, you don't talk about it and you don't need the support. The best Joomla & WordPress hosting just runs, exactly as it should. Silently. In the background. While you are busy doing the things that really matter to your company or organisation.

"The best support ticket is the one you never have to create."

Support is not a feature, it is a safety net

Every hosting provider flaunts its support. Response times, live chat, a phone number. And that's fine, if you only need that safety net infrequently. Because if you have to reopen a ticket every week, it's no longer support. Then it's firefighting. And no one wants a fire brigade that comes over every week.

Good web hosting for Joomla & WordPress means: your SSL doesn't secretly expire, Backups just run, PHP updates don't break anything. Just-working is the promise, not the speed with which problems are fixed after they have already arisen.

I like boring

We are constantly tempted to chase new features, flashy dashboards and AI integrations. But hosting is infrastructure, and infrastructure is actually supposed to be incredibly boring. It should be stable, predictable and reliable. Nothing more, nothing less.

The best web host is not the one with the loudest marketing, the cheapest offer or the weekly promotional emails. The best host is the one you never hear from and never have to contact. Simply because everything just works.

What 99.9% uptime means in real life

Almost every provider promises 99.9% uptime. That sounds reassuring. But do the math: 0.1% of a year is over eight hours offline. Eight hours where Google comes along and sees an error page. Eight hours where a potential customer drops out and never comes back.

Stable hosting is not a statistic on a sales page. It is a decision made on the front end, in choosing the right hardware, the right configuration and updates made at the right time.

Why Joomla deserves different hosting

Generic hosting packages are built for the average website. But Joomla is not an average system. It has its own PHP requirements, its own database behaviour, its own way of handling extensions and updates. A server not specifically tuned for that will work. But not optimally, and you don't notice it until it's too late.

My server is set up for Joomla. Not as an afterthought, but as a starting point. That means NVMe SSD storage, daily backups, free SSL, and multiple security layers. Not a generic solution, but an environment that understands how Joomla works.

What you get and what you will never need again

• NVMe SSD hosting: your site loads extremely fast, which is good for visitors and Google
• Daily backup: automatically, without you having to think about it
• Free SSL certificate: automatically renewed, always accessible via https
• Multiple security layers: considerably reduces the chance of a hacked website
• Up-to-date PHP versions: so Joomla always works optimally
• Transfer arranged: from your current host to my server, without downtime

Why do people wait so long?

What I regularly hear when I advise someone to move: "But I've still paid for six months." Isn't your time worth more than those six months? The hours you lose to crashed websites, slow-loading pages and emails that don't arrive will cost you more than you ever get back from a remaining contract period.

Switching to Joomla hosting with Joomill is quicker than you think. I arrange the move, you don't have to do anything for it. And after that, I especially hope you never have to think about it again.
