Managed hosting for sites that must stay up, not sites you want to babysit.

Isolated PHP, WordPress and Node.js hosting with free SSL, daily backups, one-click applications and the Joy CDN and DDoS filtering in front — on the same NVMe Compute Fabric and the same network as every Joy server.

Overview

Most sites do not need a server; they need a place that runs PHP or Node.js, renews a certificate, takes a backup every night and stays reachable when a post goes viral. Joy Hosting is that place. Every site runs in its own isolated environment on the Compute Fabric — its own PHP or Node.js runtime, its own files and database credentials — so a neighbour's plugin cannot take yours down, and it sits behind the Joy CDN and the always-on DDoS scrubbing of AS152565 without any extra configuration.

Tiers scale from a personal site or a landing page to agency fleets and application backends. Deploy from Git, SFTP or the one-click catalogue (WordPress, common PHP applications and a Node.js starter), choose the region closest to your audience — Noida, Mumbai and Chennai for India, Singapore for South-East Asia, US West for the Americas — and get a static IP, free automatic TLS, HTTP/3 and Brotli from the first request.

Hosting is in beta: sites are provisioned through a ticket while the self-service flow is finished, and the platform is already running production sites for Joy customers. When you outgrow it, the same account can move to a VPS with the CDN still in front.

What makes it Joy

H1 · H2 · H3

The three things this product line is built around — the same three boxes you see on the tile.

H1

Reliable deployment, stable performance

Each site is isolated with its own runtime and limits, deployed from Git or SFTP, fronted by the CDN with origin shield so traffic spikes are absorbed at the edge. Certificates renew themselves; HTTP/3 and Brotli are on by default.

H2

Tiers for small sites and scalable workloads

Start with a single WordPress site and grow to multi-site agency plans or Node.js application tiers with more workers, memory and storage — change tier without moving the site.

H3

Managed operations

Runtime updates, security patches, monitoring, daily backups with one-click restore, and deployment support from the engineers who run the platform. You look after your content; we look after the stack.

How it works

Three steps

Choose a runtime and region

Open a ticket with the site name, PHP/WordPress or Node.js, and the region closest to your audience; the environment is created and credentials arrive in the ticket.

Deploy your code

Push from Git, upload over SFTP, or install WordPress from the catalogue. Point your domain at the site — the certificate is issued automatically.

Let the platform run it

Daily backups, runtime patches, CDN and DDoS filtering are on. Change tier when you need more room; move to a VPS if you ever need root.

Use cases

Where Hosting fits.

WordPress for businessesA fast, patched WordPress with backups you did not have to think about, served through the CDN to Indian and South-East Asian visitors.
Agencies and freelancersOne account, many client sites, each isolated; hand over SFTP or Git access per site without sharing a server.
Node.js APIs and web appsDeploy from Git, keep processes alive, scale the tier up when traffic grows, put the CDN in front of static routes.
Landing pages and campaignsShip a page in minutes with a free certificate and the edge absorbing the launch spike.
Legacy PHP applicationsRun older PHP applications in an isolated environment with pinned versions while you plan the upgrade.
Staging before productionHigher tiers include a staging copy so updates are tested before they reach visitors.
FAQ

Questions about Hosting.

Is this shared hosting?
Sites share physical hardware but nothing else: each site has its own runtime, filesystem, database credentials and resource limits on the KVM-backed Compute Fabric, so one site's traffic or plugins cannot affect another.
Can I get SSH or root?
SFTP and SSH keys for deployment are included; root is not, because the runtime is managed. If you need root, a VPS from $2.99 a month with the CDN in front is the right product.
What about email from my site?
Transactional mail from applications is sent through authenticated relays (Joy Email as it opens, or your own provider); outbound port 25 is closed by default to protect our address space, as on every Joy server.
How is it billed?
Per site per month in your currency, on the same invoice as your other Joy services, with the same cycles and discounts as VPS plans. Beta pricing is quoted in the ticket when your site is created.

Pricing

Priced per site, on one invoice

Beta tiers are quoted by ticket. Everything else on your account — VPS, CDN egress, storage — lands on the same monthly invoice in your currency.
