What is ExpressionEngine?

ExpressionEngine is a self-hosted, open-source content management system written in PHP and owned and developed by Packet Tide. It models content with channels and custom fields, builds pages with a tag-based template language, and supports multiple sites, member roles, add-ons and front-end editing. Developers and agencies use it for custom websites.

ExpressionEngine Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The ExpressionEngine 7 docs list PHP 7.2.5 as the minimum, recommend PHP 7.4 or 8.2, and require MySQL 5.6.4 or newer. Extensions needed are GD, fileinfo, ZIP, iconv and mbstring, plus a database user with standard privileges.
It needs only PHP and MySQL plus a few standard extensions, so it can run on shared hosting that meets the documented versions. Complex sites with many add-ons use more resources, so size your plan to the site.

The project is open source, and its GitHub repository states the Apache License 2.0. Packet Tide owns the ExpressionEngine trademark. Some third-party add-ons may be sold separately, so check the terms of any add-on you choose.
