What is CMS hosting?

CMS hosting is a Linux hosting account with PHP, MySQL and a control panel, prepared for content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart or PrestaShop. The hosting is the server space; the CMS is the software you install on it and use to publish pages. WebJi® runs these accounts on its Linux shared hosting plans with NVMe storage and a free SSL certificate.

Two logins come with every CMS site, and mixing them up is the most common support question.

Control panel login
Manages the hosting: email accounts, databases, files, the PHP version and SSL.
CMS admin login
Manages the website: pages, posts, products, users and plugins. Its password is separate from the control panel password.

Which CMS should you host, and on which plan?

Most CMS sites in India run comfortably on shared hosting; only Magento and large Moodle schools need a VPS or cloud server from the start. The table maps each common CMS to what it is good at and where it fits in the WebJi® plan ladder.

How much does CMS hosting cost in India?

What every CMS hosting plan includes

Each plan includes NVMe storage, a free SSL certificate, a global CDN, optimised PHP and a one-click installer for the CMS. The plans differ in sites, email and CPU share rather than in software.

  • Webji Launch: 20 GB NVMe, 1 website, 10 email accounts — a blog or brochure site.
  • Webji Turbo: unlimited NVMe, 1 website, unlimited email, priority resource pool — a busy business site or small store.
  • Webji Scale: unlimited NVMe, unlimited domains and email, the most CPU and concurrent processes — agencies running several CMS sites.

If you want done-for-you WordPress updates rather than a general account, the separate WordPress hosting product is priced on its own page.

How to install a CMS on WebJi® hosting

A CMS is installed from the control panel's one-click installer in about five minutes; nothing has to be uploaded by hand. First set the PHP version that the CMS's own documentation recommends, so the install does not fail on a version check.

  1. In the control panel, open the app installer and choose WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or another listed CMS.
  2. Pick the domain and folder, then set an admin username and a password kept in a password manager.
  3. Run the installer and note the admin URL it shows.
  4. Open that URL: if the new login works and the homepage shows the CMS rather than a server error, the install is complete.

Locked out of the CMS admin? Use its lost-password link, or email support@webji.services; never send a password over a second channel.

When does a CMS site outgrow shared hosting?

A CMS site has outgrown shared hosting when the control panel shows it regularly hitting CPU or entry-process limits, or when the software itself needs more memory than a shared account allows. A new brochure site does not need a server on day one.

  • If the site is Magento or a full Moodle school, then ask for a cloud hosting or VPS quote before paying, because both need dedicated memory and frequent cron jobs.
  • If a WooCommerce or OpenCart store slows during sales, then move up one plan first; upgrades move without downtime.
  • If you are bringing a CMS from another host, then free migration is available subject to terms and approval — it is scheduled, not instant.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I run two different CMSs on one hosting account?

Yes, on Webji Scale, which allows unlimited domains; for example a WordPress company site and a Joomla portal on separate domains. Launch and Turbo allow one website each, so a second CMS would need a subfolder of the same site or a plan upgrade.

Is Webji Launch enough for a WooCommerce shop?

For a small catalogue with modest traffic, yes. Launch has 20 GB of storage and 10 mailboxes, so a shop with many product images or staff email is better started on Turbo at ₹399 a month before GST, which has unlimited NVMe storage and email.

Can I switch the PHP version for my CMS later?

Yes. The PHP version is set per account in the control panel and can be changed at any time. Check that your CMS, theme and plugins support the new version first, and take a backup before switching on a live site.

Does WebJi® build the CMS website for me on these plans?

No. CMS hosting provides the account and the one-click installer; designing pages, adding products or configuring plugins is your work or a separate design service. Support helps with hosting issues such as databases, email, SSL and PHP settings.

Will a Windows plan run Joomla or Drupal?

Choose Linux for these CMSs. WebJi®'s Windows plans with Plesk are meant for ASP.NET applications, while WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart and PrestaShop are built and tested mainly on Linux with PHP and MySQL.
