Can ZwiiCMS run on shared hosting?

Yes. Because it needs only PHP and writable file storage, it fits ordinary cPanel shared accounts without special server access. Back up the data folder regularly, since your content lives in files rather than a database.

How do I install ZwiiCMS on cPanel hosting?

Log in to cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, select ZwiiCMS, choose the domain and admin details, and press Install. It normally takes only a few clicks and needs no manual file upload or database setup.

Can I use ZwiiCMS for a commercial website?

The official site and repository state a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence, which prohibits commercial use and modified versions. If your site is commercial, read the licence and check with the maintainers before choosing it.

Is ZwiiCMS free to use?

ZwiiCMS is provided under this licence: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (non-commercial, no derivatives). You install ZwiiCMS from Softaculous in one click and check the project's own site for the exact terms; your Hostripples hosting plan is billed separately from the application itself.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as ZwiiCMS?

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

ZwiiCMS is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Do you migrate my existing ZwiiCMS site for free?

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