FlatPress Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Its README lists PHP 7.2 through 8.5 and a web server such as Apache, NGINX or IIS. No database is required, because FlatPress stores all data in files on the server.
Yes. With no database and only PHP needed, it is well suited to shared cPanel hosting. You simply pick a supported PHP version for the site and let FlatPress write its content files.
Open cPanel, launch the Softaculous one-click installer, choose FlatPress, and select the domain and admin details. It usually takes a few clicks, with no manual upload and no database to create.
Backups are simple because content is stored as files rather than in a database. The project lists simple backup as a feature, so copying the FlatPress folders preserves posts and settings.
Yes. FlatPress 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 FlatPress alongside other apps in its category (Blogs), such as SitePad and WordPress, 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.
FlatPress 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.
