What is Kohana?

Kohana is an open-source HMVC PHP framework that began in 2007 as a community fork of CodeIgniter. It is released under a BSD licence and is described as secure and lightweight. The official project is deprecated and its repository is archived, with a community fork called Koseven continuing separately.

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

Project status: Official GitHub repository archived on 21 April 2026; official site calls the framework deprecated, with last release 3.3.6 (25 July 2016). A community fork, Koseven, is mentioned on the official site. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: BSD · Built with: PHP 5 · Official site: kohanaframework.org

Common uses

  • Maintaining an existing Kohana application
  • Studying a HMVC PHP framework
  • Planning a migration to a maintained framework

Kohana requirements

  • PHP: PHP 5 (per Softaculous listing); not verified for current PHP versions

Kohana targets PHP 5, an old version, and the official project is deprecated and archived, so compatibility with current secure PHP versions should be tested first. We advise it only for maintaining legacy applications.

Why host Kohana with Hostripples

  • One-click Kohana install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
  • Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
  • Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
  • Free migration of an existing Kohana site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi

Kohana Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

No. The official site labels the framework deprecated with its latest release being 3.3.6 from July 2016, and the GitHub repository was archived on 21 April 2026. A community fork called Koseven continues separately.
The Softaculous listing states PHP 5. Since that version is very old, compatibility with newer PHP versions offered in cPanel is not something we could verify, so test on a staging site before committing.
Log in to cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, find Kohana and choose Install. You pick the domain and folder, then Softaculous sets it up in a few clicks with no manual file upload. Because the official project is archived, use it only to keep existing applications running.
The official site points to the Koseven community fork for people keeping existing projects running. For new development, a maintained PHP framework such as CodeIgniter, Laravel or CakePHP is a safer choice.
Yes. Kohana is open-source software released under the BSD 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 Kohana alongside other apps in its category (Frameworks), such as Laravel and CodeIgniter, 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.
Kohana 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.
