Drupal the way Drupal recommends running it.
Modern Drupal is built and updated with Composer, and drupal.org says installs and updates should be done that way. That needs a shell, not just a file manager. Every plan includes SSH with Composer 2 already installed, Git for deployments, and PHP chosen per site, so a drupal/recommended-project build runs here as it does on your machine.
The plans differ in storage and how many sites you can host. Growth covers up to five, enough for a production site and a staging copy; Business and above host as many as fit. Allow a few hundred megabytes per site for the Composer vendor directory.

A typical Composer workflow here
From repository to live site, the same steps you would run anywhere else.
Get the code onto the account
Push your project with Git, or clone it from your repository over SSH.
Install dependencies
Run composer2 install --no-dev in the project root.
Serve it from web/
Point the site at the project's web/ directory. We can set that up for you.
Apply updates
Run vendor/bin/drush deploy for database updates, config import and a cache rebuild.
Composer runs as composer2. To run a command under a specific PHP version, call that PHP binary directly; ask us if you need the exact path.
What Drupal 11 asks for, and what you get
drupal.org publishes PHP, database and Composer requirements for each major version. This is how our cloud platform lines up against Drupal 11, the current major release.
| Requirement | Drupal 11 needs | Our cloud platform |
|---|---|---|
| PHP | 8.3 or 8.4 (8.5 from Drupal 11.3) | Chosen per site, anything from 5.3 to 8.5 |
| Database | MariaDB 10.6 or MySQL 8.0 at minimum, InnoDB and PDO | MariaDB 10.11, unlimited databases of up to 1GB each |
| Composer | Composer 2.7 or later for installs and updates | Composer 2 over SSH, run as composer2; you can also run your own composer.phar |
| PHP memory | 64MB minimum, 128MB to 256MB typical in production | 128MB by default, raised per site in the control panel |
Drupal 11 figures from the Drupal system requirements, checked November 2026. Projects update their requirements with each release, so check the current page before a major upgrade.
Moving off Drupal 10 before December 2026
Drupal 10 stops receiving security releases at the end of 2026. The upgrade to Drupal 11 is mostly a Composer exercise once your contributed modules have Drupal 11 releases, and it needs PHP 8.3 or later on the server.
Move the site here first on the PHP version it uses today, check your modules with Upgrade Status, then switch the site to PHP 8.3 or 8.4 and run the Composer upgrade. If anything goes wrong, daily backups (webspace for 30 days, databases for 60) let you roll back.
When a Drupal site outgrows shared hosting
Cloud hosting suits most brochure, membership and community Drupal sites. Large sites with heavy search indexing, a database over 1GB, or a need for services such as Solr are better on a server of their own.
A VPS gives you root access and fixed resources, and our managed hosting team can set it up and look after it for you.
