Launch a content management system, online shop, forum or business tool in a few clicks. Our app installer sets everything up on fast Linux hosting – no manual database setup, no file uploads.
Installing a web application by hand usually means downloading files, uploading them via FTP, creating a database and user, editing configuration files and running a setup wizard. Our one-click installer does all of that for you.
Pick an app in the control panel, choose the domain or subfolder it should live in and enter a few basics such as the site name and your admin email. The installer creates the database, copies the files and completes the configuration. A moment later you can log in and start building.
Automatic database creation
Install to a domain, subdomain or subfolder
Admin login ready straight after setup
More than an installer
App hosting with updates and security in mind
Automatic updates
Keep supported apps on current versions with automatic core updates, so security fixes are not forgotten.
Malware scanning
Automatic malware scans and reports help you spot compromised files early.
Free SSL
Every app runs securely over HTTPS with free, auto-activated SSL certificates.
DDoS and bot protection
Advanced DDoS protection and anti-bot measures keep login pages and forms safe.
Fast by default
Optimised PHP-FPM, cache optimisation and a free CDN with edge caching speed up every app.
Backups and restore
Restore from backups when needed, or add daily premium backups with 30 days of snapshots.
For every kind of project
CMS, shop, forum or business software
Whether you want a flexible CMS such as Joomla!, Drupal or Typo3, an online store with PrestaShop or OpenCart, a community with phpBB, an e-learning platform with Moodle or privacy-friendly analytics with Matomo – the right tool is only a few clicks away.
Developers can also start new projects with frameworks like Laravel, CakePHP or Slim, then continue working via SSH and Git. Multiple PHP versions let you match each application's requirements.

How many apps can I install?
You can install apps on as many websites as your plan allows – up to 10 on Small, 50 on Business and 1000 on Unlimited. Each app typically uses one website and one database.
Are apps updated automatically?
Automatic core updates are available for supported apps, so important security fixes are applied without you having to remember. Extensions, themes and plugins should still be checked and updated regularly.
Can I install an app in a subfolder?
Yes. You can install an app on a main domain, a subdomain or in a subfolder, for example to run a forum or shop alongside your main website.
Do I need technical knowledge to use the installer?
No. You only choose the app and enter a few details like the site name and admin email address. The installer takes care of the database, files and configuration.
Can I still access the files and database of my app?
Yes. You keep full access via the file manager, FTP, SSH and phpMyAdmin, so you or your developer can customise the app as you like.
Will you move an existing app to CheapTopHost?
Yes. Free migrations are included, so we can move your existing website or application to your new hosting plan.
