Can Drupal run on shared hosting?

It can run on hosting with a suitable PHP version and a MySQL or MariaDB database. The documentation lists Composer for installation and updates, so ongoing module management may require SSH or command-line access.

How do I install Drupal on cPanel?

Open the Softaculous one-click installer in cPanel, choose Drupal, select your domain and enter the admin details, then click install. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual file upload.

Which Drupal version should I choose?

The requirements above are for Drupal 11 and Drupal 10, which the Drupal docs cover. Softaculous may list several branches, so check Drupal's own release and support information before choosing one, and prefer the newest branch for a new site.

Is Drupal Core free to use?

Yes. Drupal Core is open-source software released under the GPL-2.0 or later licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as Drupal Core?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Drupal Core 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.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for Drupal Core?

Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.

Do you migrate my existing Drupal Core site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is Drupal Core?

Drupal is an open-source content management platform for sites ranging from personal weblogs to large community sites. Drupal core provides user administration, publishing workflow and structured content fields, and modules and themes extend it. It is written in PHP, licensed under the GPL, and maintained by a global community supported by the Drupal Association.

How to install Drupal Core on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Drupal Core is live

Licence: GPL-2.0 or later · Built with: PHP + MySQL/MariaDB · Official site: www.drupal.org

Common uses

Complex content site with structured data
Community or membership site
Organisation site with editorial workflow
Site needing fine-grained user permissions

Drupal Core requirements

PHP: Drupal 11: PHP 8.3 or newer
Database: Drupal 11: MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+ with InnoDB (Drupal 10: MySQL 5.7.8+ or MariaDB 10.3.7+); PostgreSQL and SQLite also supported
PHP extensions including PDO, DOM, SimpleXML, XML, GD, zlib, JSON and tokenizer
Composer, which the docs list for installation and updates
MySQL transaction isolation level READ-COMMITTED

Drupal 11 runs on PHP 8.3+ with MySQL or MariaDB, and the Softaculous installer handles setup. Drupal's own docs list Composer for installation and updates, so managing modules later may need command-line access.
