30-OFF-HOSTING
Servers tuned for the Drupal CMS and the way developers build it: SSH with Composer and Drush, PHP 8, OPcache, MariaDB, and CloudLinux isolation, on hardware we own.
Drupal on Shared Hosting from $3.95/mo: PHP 8.x with OPcache, MariaDB, SSH with Composer and Drush, cron for hook_cron, Nginx reverse-proxy caching, CloudLinux account isolation, one-click Softaculous Drupal install, free SSL, free CloudFlare CDN, free Drupal site migration, and a 45-day money-back guarantee.
PHP 8.x · MariaDB · Nginx cache
The PHP version, database, command-line tooling, and cron scheduling a Drupal build actually depends on. Every plan, no upsells.
PHP 8.x with OPcache enabled by default and PHP-FPM pools sized for Drupal's Symfony-based per-request bootstrap. Pin any docroot to the PHP version a contrib module needs through cPanel's PHP Selector.
MariaDB 10.x is the default backend for Drupal's entity and field storage (drop-in MySQL replacement, exceeds Drupal's requirements). PostgreSQL is available on VPS plans for Drupal installs that require it.
Stand up a Drupal core install through Softaculous in cPanel with a single click, then take over with Composer from SSH. No manual downloads, no database setup, no settings.php editing. Restore points before every update.
The full Drupal content model runs on shared hosting: custom content types, taxonomy, Field UI, Views, Paragraphs, Translation, and any contrib module from drupal.org with no feature restrictions.
Our support team has been hosting Drupal sites since 2002. PHP compatibility, database tuning, Composer and Drush questions, and contrib module conflicts answered around the clock.
Backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee on owned Dell PowerEdge hardware with RAID, UPS, on-site technicians, and a Cisco backbone. No third-party datacenter staff between you and a fix.
Every Ultra Drupal plan ships with the full PHP-FPM + MariaDB + OPcache + Nginx cache stack pre-tuned for Drupal's Symfony bootstrap, plus SSH so you can drive the site with Composer and Drush. Your Drupal build lands fast on day one, not after a week of server tweaking.

Drupal is a PHP and Symfony-based open-source content management system known for its flexibility, security posture, and ability to model complex content structures. It powers government portals, university sites, enterprise intranets, nonprofit campaigns, and large media properties around the world. Drupal's modular, API-first architecture lets teams build highly customized sites with granular user permissions, multi-site configurations, and structured editorial workflows.
Ultra Web Hosting gives Drupal the PHP runtime, database, command-line access, and cron scheduling it depends on. Every shared hosting plan includes SSH with Composer and Drush, one-click Drupal installation through Softaculous, and servers running PHP 8.x with MariaDB, OPcache, and Nginx reverse proxy caching to keep Drupal pages loading quickly.
The plan ships with a one-click Drupal install through Softaculous, no manual downloads or settings.php editing required, and SSH access so you can manage the codebase with Composer and run site tasks with Drush. PHP 8.x and MariaDB meet the requirements for Drupal 10 and 11 (PHP 8.1+ and MySQL 8.0+ / MariaDB 10.3.7+). Drupal rebuilds pages dynamically on every request, so our Nginx reverse-proxy layer caches static assets and anonymous-user output to reduce server load, while CloudLinux isolates your account resources so your Drupal site runs consistently regardless of other accounts on the server.
Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates with auto-renewal and free CloudFlare CDN integration are included on every account. HTTPS is enabled automatically and CloudFlare caches your Drupal content globally for faster delivery to visitors worldwide. Already running Drupal elsewhere? Our team migrates your Drupal site for free with annual plans, transferring the codebase, the database, and email, then verifying settings.php and cron before the DNS cutover.
Our support team has been hosting Drupal sites since 2002 and can help with server configuration, PHP compatibility, database tuning, Composer and Drush workflows, and general Drupal troubleshooting. Our 12-minute average first-response time is measured across all tickets during business hours. All of these features are included with every shared hosting plan starting at $3.95/mo. If you have questions, contact our team or start a live chat.
Drupal is happiest when the host gives it a modern PHP runtime, a command line, an object cache, and a real cron. Ultra ships all of it on the standard plan, so a gov, edu, enterprise, or nonprofit content team can go from install to production without a support ticket.
All three are open-source PHP CMSes we host on the same tuned stack. The difference is how you build. Here is where Drupal pulls ahead and where another platform may suit you better.

Our servers support Drupal 7, Drupal 10, and Drupal 11. We run PHP 8.x and MariaDB 10.x, which meet and exceed the system requirements for every currently supported Drupal release. PHP version is selectable per-domain through cPanel's PHP Selector if you need to pin an older Drupal install to PHP 7.4.
Yes. Softaculous in cPanel installs Drupal with a single click. There are no manual file uploads, no database creation, and no settings.php editing required. Softaculous handles the initial setup, creates the database, and makes it easy to create restore points before applying core or module updates.
Yes. We run PHP 8.x with OPcache enabled, MariaDB 10.x (a drop-in replacement for MySQL that exceeds Drupal's MySQL 8.0+ requirement), Apache with Nginx reverse-proxy caching, and mod_rewrite for Drupal's clean URLs. All currently supported Drupal versions install and run out of the box.
Yes. Drupal supports both MariaDB/MySQL and PostgreSQL as backend databases. Our shared hosting plans default to MariaDB (the most common Drupal configuration), and PostgreSQL is available on VPS and dedicated plans if your Drupal modules require it.
Yes. Free Drupal migration is included with annual or longer hosting plans. Our team handles the full transfer including files, the database, and email accounts. We stage your Drupal site on a temporary URL, verify everything works, then coordinate the DNS cutover to minimize downtime.
Because Drupal rebuilds each page through its Symfony bootstrap on every request, server-side performance is what matters. Our Nginx reverse-proxy layer caches static assets and anonymous-user page output, PHP-FPM with OPcache keeps compiled bytecode in memory, MariaDB query cache trims redundant lookups, and CloudFlare CDN serves cached responses from 300+ edge locations worldwide. Most Drupal page views are answered from cache without ever booting PHP or hitting the database.
Yes. Every Ultra shared hosting plan runs on CloudLinux. Your Drupal site gets its own CageFS-isolated environment with a guaranteed CPU, RAM, and process slice. A noisy neighbor running a busy Drupal cron or a spike on another tenant cannot affect your site's performance.
Yes. All of Drupal's content modeling features work normally on our shared hosting: custom content types, taxonomy vocabularies, Field UI, Views, Paragraphs, multi-language Translation, and any module from drupal.org. There are no admin-feature restrictions on the shared plan.
Drupal's multi-site feature (single codebase, multiple databases under sites/example.com/settings.php) is supported on shared hosting subject to plan resource limits. For larger Drupal multi-site networks we recommend our VPS plans for guaranteed CPU and RAM.
Yes. SSH access is enabled on every plan, and you can run Drush, Composer, and Drupal Console from the command line for module management, deployment, and maintenance. Composer is pre-installed system-wide; Drush is installed per-site under your Drupal codebase via composer require drush/drush.
Yes. Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates with automatic renewal are included on every Drupal plan. HTTPS is enabled at signup, and your Drupal install can be configured to enforce HTTPS site-wide through the Secure Login module or a one-line .htaccess redirect.
Drupal hosting includes ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set (blocks SQL injection, XSS, common Drupal exploit patterns), CloudLinux CageFS account isolation, free Let's Encrypt SSL, daily JetBackup with 30-day restore points, and always-on DDoS protection at the network edge. Our security team monitors Drupal core and contrib module CVE disclosures and patches server-wide before public exploits land.
Yes. Free CloudFlare CDN integration via cPanel's one-click activation. CloudFlare caches your Drupal static assets at 300+ edge locations worldwide, adds always-on DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and Brotli compression. No add-on charges.
Ultra Drupal hosting includes a 45-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through the client area within 45 days of signup for a full refund on hosting. Domain registration fees are non-refundable since they're paid to the registry on your behalf.
Ultra Web Hosting has been in business since 2002. Drupal 4.0 shipped in 2002 and we have been hosting Drupal installs since the early days of the project. That is 24+ years of operational experience with Drupal's PHP, database, and module ecosystem.
SSH, Composer, Drush, and cron ready on day one. 30% off new Drupal orders with code 30-OFF-HOSTING. 45-day money-back guarantee. Free migration included.
