CMS Made Simple Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The 2.x documentation lists PHP 7.4 minimum with 8.3 recommended, a MySQL database, the json, tokenizer, xml and gd extensions, a 16M minimum PHP memory limit, and Apache, NGINX or LightTPD as the web server.
Its documented requirements are light: PHP, MySQL, a handful of extensions and about 20 MB of disk for the standard install. That fits a normal shared account. Docs also list ModSecurity as needing to be disabled for the installer.
Open the Softaculous one-click installer in cPanel, select CMS Made Simple, enter your domain and admin details, and click install. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual file upload.
Yes. Templates use the Smarty engine and can be customised extensively without changing page content, and modules extend behaviour. The requirements page notes that older modules may need an older PHP version, so check module compatibility before choosing PHP.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run CMS Made Simple 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.
CMS Made Simple is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.
