Hosting services with Contao installed: for those who think ahead
Here are the main features:
- Modularity. Almost everything in Contao is modules. You want a news block? You put in a module. Need an event schedule or user management system? It is also solved in a modular way. This gives you maximum flexibility: you do not install anything unnecessary and do not load the site with unnecessary code.
- Multilingualism and adaptability. Contao out of the box supports multisite, work with different languages and adaptation for mobile devices. This is especially important if your project is focused not only on one country or one audience.
- Proper SEO-structure. Everything that search engines need is already in place: human-understandable URLs, micropartitioning, automatic sitemap generation, meta tag management. No dancing with tambourine and third-party plugins.
- Advanced permissions system. In Contao you can fine-tune who can see what and who can see what. Want to give an editor access only to news and a designer access only to templates? A couple of clicks and everything works.
- Security. Contao receives regular updates and its code is tested by the community. The system itself is built on the principle of "minimum open doors": only you decide who has access to what.
- Developed community. Even though Contao is not as popular as WordPress, it has a stable core of developers and a huge number of extensions. Issues are resolved, bugs are fixed, and updates are released.
Contao is different because it clearly separates the layers of data, logic, and presentation. This makes the CMS convenient for both layout designers and developers. Contao also supports HTML5-based templating and integration with Twig via extensions.
Where is Contao particularly good?
- Non-profit and municipal websites.
- Corporate sites with split access.
- Catalogs, databases, timetables, lendings.
- Portals with multiple sections and structured information.
Rates for any project
We have configurations for beginners and for serious projects with load. If you want to deploy a simple landing page, take the initial tariff. If you need to maintain a portal with thousands of pages - choose a powerful build with a reserve. All tariffs can be increased in a couple of clicks: RAM, CPU cores, disk space - everything is scalable.
If necessary, you can also deploy a staging environment - a separate copy of the site for testing new modules, themes or customizations. This is convenient for corporate clients and development teams working according to the Agile approach.
Minimal formalities - maximum convenience
It takes a few minutes to place an order. The server is automatically activated and CMS Contao is already installed and ready to work.
CMS installation via script: simple as two times two
If you have chosen a VPS without CMS and want to install Contao yourself, it is not difficult either. We have detailed instructions on how to install the system in a couple of clicks. No terminal is needed: everything is done in the browser interface. The link to the guide is in your personal cabinet after server activation.
