What is PivotX?

PivotX is a PHP-based blogging and content management application that can keep its data in MySQL or in flat files. It supports several weblogs and authors, a template-based theme system and comment moderation. Its own README says active development ended in 2017 and that the project now only ships security releases.

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

Project status: The project README states that development officially ended in 2017 and that only security releases are provided, with no new features or non-security bug fixes. The GitHub repository is not archived; the last tagged release (a 3.0.0 release candidate) is from June 2023 and the last commit from February 2024. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: GPL-2.0 · Built with: PHP (MySQL or flat-file storage) · Official site: github.com/pivotx/PivotX

Common uses

  • Personal weblog or online journal
  • Small multi-author blog
  • Simple site that needs no database (flat-file mode)
  • Keeping an existing PivotX blog running

PivotX requirements

  • PHP: PHP 7.4 minimum for the 3.0 code line, described as compatible with PHP 8.2 (repository README)
  • Database: MySQL, or flat-file storage without a database

PivotX needs only PHP and either MySQL or flat-file storage, so it runs within a normal shared cPanel account. Because upstream provides security fixes only, plan on limited new features and check plugin and theme compatibility with your chosen PHP version.

Why host PivotX with Hostripples

  • One-click PivotX 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 PivotX site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi

PivotX Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The repository README for the 3.0 code line lists PHP 7.4 as the minimum and says it is compatible with PHP 8.2. Data can be kept in MySQL or in flat files, so no special server components are named.
Yes, in principle. It is a plain PHP application with optional MySQL or flat-file storage and no daemon or special access requirement in its documentation, so a standard cPanel account with a supported PHP version is sufficient.
Log in to cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, choose PivotX, enter your domain, admin login and database settings, then click install. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual file upload.
Only minimally. The project README says development officially ended in 2017 and that it still provides security releases, but no new features or non-security bug fixes. Consider this before building a long-term site on it.
Yes. PivotX 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 PivotX 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.
Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
