Why Host Drupal with HostPapa?
One of Drupal's biggest strengths is that it scales well. A site that starts as a small business homepage can grow into a multilingual, multi-editor platform with thousands of pages, and Drupal handles that progression without requiring you to switch to a different CMS.
HostPapa's hosting plans are built with that same growth path in mind. Our Essentials plan works well for a single Drupal site with moderate traffic. As your site grows, you can move up to Growth, Premium, or Elite for more storage, CPU cores, database capacity, and faster cron intervals. And if your traffic outgrows shared hosting entirely, HostPapa's VPS hosting gives you dedicated resources with root access for full server control.
Most plans includes HostPapa's CDN (Content Delivery Network) to serve your pages from edge servers closer to your visitors worldwide. Combined with NVMe storage and performance-tuned Apache configurations, your Drupal site loads quickly whether your audience is in Toronto, London, or Sydney.
HostPapa has been an official Drupal.org hosting sponsor and a member of the Drupal community for years. Here's what we bring to the table for Drupal users specifically:
- PHP version selection including the latest PHP 8.x releases required by Drupal 10 and 11
- MySQL 8.0 with InnoDB support, meeting Drupal 11's database requirements out of the box
- NVMe SSD storage for faster database queries and page loads, which matters for Drupal sites that run complex queries
- Free SSL certificates on every plan, which Drupal's security best practices recommend for all sites
- Staging environments where you can test Drupal core updates, module changes, and theme modifications before pushing them live
- CloudLinux OS isolation that keeps your Drupal site stable even if another account on the same server experiences a traffic spike
- Imunify360 security with automated malware scanning, a web application firewall (WAF), and proactive threat prevention
- cPanel with Softaculous for 1-click Drupal installation and easy management of PHP settings, databases, cron jobs, and file permissions
HostPapa's support team is available 24/7 by live chat, phone, and email in multiple languages. We also maintain an extensive knowledge base with Drupal-specific guides, video tutorials, and step-by-step walkthroughs. Whether you need help configuring a module, troubleshooting a theme conflict, or understanding Drupal's permission system, our team is ready to help.
With a 30-day money-back guarantee¹, free site migration, and free setup, you can try Drupal hosting on HostPapa with zero risk.
High-Performance CMS Hosting Solutions
What Is Drupal?
Drupal is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) used by organizations of all sizes to build websites, web applications, and digital platforms. It powers sites for the European Commission, universities, government agencies, and thousands of small businesses around the world. Unlike simpler website builders, Drupal gives you full control over your content structure, user permissions, and site architecture, which makes it a popular choice for projects that need flexibility and room to grow.
Drupal is built on PHP and uses MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL as its database. The latest version, Drupal 11, requires PHP 8.3 and MySQL 8.0 or higher. HostPapa meets and exceeds these requirements on every hosting plan, so you can install and run Drupal without worrying about server compatibility.
Drupal is a perfect fit for a wide range of use cases:
- Business and corporate websites that need custom workflows, structured content, and role-based permissions
- Government and nonprofit sites where accessibility, security, and compliance matter
- Multilingual websites with built-in support for translating content, menus, and interface elements into dozens of languages
- Content-heavy platforms like news sites, educational portals, and digital libraries that manage large volumes of pages and media
- eCommerce stores using Drupal Commerce, a flexible module for building custom shopping experiences
- Developers and agencies that want full control over theming, module development, and API integrations

What is Drupal hosting?
Drupal hosting is web hosting that is configured to meet Drupal's server requirements, including the right versions of PHP, MySQL or MariaDB, and Apache or Nginx. A good Drupal host also provides features that help Drupal run well, like SSD or NVMe storage for fast database queries, configurable PHP memory limits, cron job scheduling, and SSL certificates. HostPapa's hosting plans are compatible with Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 out of the box, so you can install and run Drupal without any manual server configuration.
What version of Drupal can I run on HostPapa?
You can run Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 on all HostPapa web hosting plans. Our servers support PHP 8.0 through 8.3, MySQL 8.0 with InnoDB, and all the PHP extensions Drupal requires (PDO, XML, GD, OpenSSL, JSON, cURL, and Mbstring). You can select your preferred PHP version directly from cPanel.
How do I install Drupal on HostPapa?
HostPapa includes Softaculous, a 1-click app installer, with every hosting plan. To install Drupal, log in to cPanel, open Softaculous, search for Drupal, click "Install," and fill in a few basic details like your domain name and admin credentials. The entire process takes about a minute, and Softaculous creates the database and uploads all the Drupal files for you automatically.
Can I migrate my existing Drupal site to HostPapa?
Yes. HostPapa offers free website migration on all hosting plans. Our migration team will transfer your Drupal files, databases, email accounts, and configurations from your current host to HostPapa. Your site remains live on your old host during the transfer, so your visitors won't experience any downtime. To get started, just reach out to our support team after signing up.
Is Drupal better than WordPress?
They're different tools for different situations. WordPress is easier to learn and has a larger ecosystem of themes and plugins, which makes it ideal for blogs, small business sites, and quick setups. Drupal is better suited for projects that need complex content structures, granular user permissions, strong multilingual support, or custom application logic. If you're not sure which is right for you, our support team can help you decide. HostPapa supports both platforms with 1-click installation.
Does HostPapa support Drupal Commerce?
Yes. Drupal Commerce is a set of Drupal modules that lets you build a fully customizable online store. Since it runs within Drupal itself, any HostPapa plan that supports Drupal will also support Drupal Commerce. You'll want to choose a plan with enough storage and server resources for your product catalog and expected traffic. The Growth or Premium plans are a good starting point for most online stores.
What security features does HostPapa provide for Drupal sites?
Every HostPapa plan includes a free SSL certificate, Imunify360 malware scanning and removal, a web application firewall (WAF), brute force detection, and DDoS protection. Our servers run CloudLinux OS, which isolates each hosting account so that security issues on one account can't affect others on the same server. Higher-tier plans (Growth, Premium, and Elite) also include Protection Power, which adds real-time security alerts, a website trust seal, and advanced DDoS protection.
Can I use Drupal to build a multilingual website?
Yes, and this is one of Drupal's biggest strengths compared to other CMS platforms. Drupal has built-in multilingual support as part of its core software, not just through add-on modules. You can translate your content, menus, taxonomy terms, and even the admin interface into over 100 languages. HostPapa's hosting is fully compatible with Drupal's multilingual features.
Does HostPapa offer staging environments for Drupal?
Yes. HostPapa's Growth, Premium, and Elite plans include staging environments where you can test Drupal core updates, new modules, or theme changes before applying them to your live site. This is especially useful during major Drupal version upgrades (for example, moving from Drupal 10 to Drupal 11), where you want to verify that all your modules and custom code work correctly before pushing changes to production.
