ClassicPress Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Version 2 lists PHP 7.4 minimum (8.3 or 8.4 recommended) and MySQL, with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+ recommended. It runs on Apache, Nginx or LiteSpeed, and an HTTPS certificate is advised.
Yes. It needs only PHP and MySQL or MariaDB, which standard cPanel accounts provide, and LiteSpeed is among the servers its docs recommend. Just confirm your theme and plugins do not rely on WordPress blocks.
In cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, choose ClassicPress, set your domain, site name and admin login, then install. It typically takes a few clicks and no manual upload or database creation.
Many WordPress themes and plugins work, but not those that need WordPress blocks. The project provides a migration plugin to help identify compatibility issues, and recommends checking themes and plugins before switching an existing site.
Yes. ClassicPress is open-source software released under the GPL-2.0 licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run ClassicPress alongside other apps in its category (Portal / CMS), such as Joomla and Open Real Estate, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
ClassicPress is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
