What is ProcessWire CMS?
ProcessWire is a free, open-source PHP Content Management System (CMS) and framework (CMF) designed for developers and web agencies. It uses a flexible everything-is-a-page data model where you define your own custom fields and templates. This action gives you complete control over your content structure. It was created by Ryan Cramer and is backed by an active community with over 700 free modules available.
Is ProcessWire free to use?
Yes. ProcessWire is released under the Mozilla Public License (MPL 2.0) and is completely free to download, install, and use. There are no licensing fees. You only pay for hosting, and HostPapa's ProcessWire hosting plans start from $2.95 per month.
What are the server requirements for ProcessWire?
ProcessWire requires PHP 8.x (PHP 7.1 or higher also works), MySQL 5.6 or newer, and Apache with mod_rewrite enabled. Every HostPapa Web Hosting plan meets all of these requirements. You can also choose your PHP version in cPanel to match your project's needs.
How do I install ProcessWire on HostPapa?
You can install ProcessWire with a single click using Softaculous, the app installer included in every HostPapa cPanel account. Open cPanel, go to Softaculous Apps Installer, search for ProcessWire, fill in your site details, and click Install. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.
Is ProcessWire good for agencies?
Yes. ProcessWire is a popular choice for web development agencies because its API-first design and custom field system make it easy to build original, tailor-made websites for clients. Our Premium and Elite plans support unlimited websites, include staging environments, and come with free migrations.
How does ProcessWire compare to WordPress?
Both are free, open-source content management systems, but they're built for different audiences. WordPress uses a theme-and-plugin model that's beginner-friendly and has a large ecosystem of over 60,000 plugins. ProcessWire is code-first and developer-focused. Now, you can define your own content structures rather than adapting to WordPress's fixed post/page model. ProcessWire is a stronger fit for custom builds; WordPress is easier to get started with for non-developers.
Can I migrate my existing ProcessWire site to HostPapa?
Yes, and we'll handle the migration for free. Our team moves your ProcessWire files, databases, and settings to our servers at no extra cost. Your site stays live throughout the process, and we test everything before it goes live on HostPapa. Just get in touch with our PapaSquad team to request your Free migration.
Does HostPapa support multiple PHP versions for ProcessWire?
Yes. You can choose from PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1 directly from your cPanel control panel. ProcessWire recommends PHP 8.x for new installs, but if you're running an older ProcessWire project, you can select whichever version it needs.
Does ProcessWire work on shared hosting?
Yes. ProcessWire runs on any shared hosting plan, including HostPapa’s, that supports PHP and MySQL with Apache mod_rewrite. For smaller sites and development projects, shared hosting is a good option. If you're running a high-traffic ProcessWire site, our Premium or Elite shared plans, or a VPS plan, will give you more resources.
What is the difference between ProcessWire as a CMS and as a CMF?
When used as a Content Management System (CMS), ProcessWire provides an admin dashboard for managing website content through a user interface. When used as a Content Management Framework (CMF), you use ProcessWire's PHP API directly to power custom applications or headless builds. You can do that without necessarily using the admin UI at all. Most developers use both modes together on the same project.
