Standard Hosting with Full cPanel Control
Standard Hosting is our self-managed cPanel hosting, built for site owners who prefer to run their own account. You get full cPanel access to install applications, manage email, add domains and edit files. The server, the hardware, the security and the daily backups are on us.
Who Standard cPanel Hosting Is For
Standard Hosting is our self-managed cPanel tier. It suits people who prefer to run their own hosting account and are comfortable handling the day-to-day.
Site owners comfortable in cPanel
You have used cPanel before, or you’re happy learning it. You want to install applications, add email accounts, manage domains and handle your own setup from a familiar dashboard.
Developers running their own site
You build or maintain your own website, whether it’s a personal project or a single-business site. You want control over PHP versions, Node.js applications, Softaculous installers and shell access.
Hands-on business owners
Your business runs a small website, plus email, plus a few forms. You or someone on your team handles the technical side in-house, so you don’t need the management layer that comes with Managed Hosting.

Upgrade or Change Your Standard Hosting Plan Any Time
If you outgrow your current Standard Hosting tier, you can upgrade to a larger plan directly from your client dashboard. The change takes effect immediately, with no downtime, no migration and no files to move. You can also move down to a smaller tier, or across to Managed Hosting if you later decide you’d rather have us look after the hosting for you.
If none of our four Standard Hosting tiers fit your setup, we can build a custom plan. Contact Sales with your requirements.
What You Get with Standard cPanel Hosting
Direct access to the cPanel tools you need to run your own site. Everything below is available on all four Standard Hosting tiers.
cPanel Control Panel
The world’s most widely used hosting control panel. Manage your files, email, databases, DNS and SSL certificates from a single dashboard.
Softaculous App Installer
One-click installers for WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop and over 400 other applications. Install, update or clone a site in seconds, no command line required.
PHP Version Switcher
Run any PHP from 7.4, to 8.5. You can set the version per domain or subdomain, so different apps on your account can run on different versions.
Node.js Selector
Create Node.js applications directly from cPanel. Node 18, 20 and 22 are available, with npm and Phusion Passenger built in.
Terminal Shell Access
SSH into your account with a sandboxed shell. Run scripts and commands without seeing other accounts on the server.
MySQL Database Manager
Create and manage databases and users through cPanel or phpMyAdmin. Full read/write access to your own data.
Standard or Managed Hosting: Which Should You Pick?
Both run on identical hardware. The difference is who manages your hosting day-to-day.
