What Is Razor CMS?
Razor CMS is a Free, open-source, file-based content management system that lets you build and manage your website without a MySQL database. It's lightweight, fast to load, and simple to maintain, making it a great choice for personal sites, small business pages, portfolios, and any project where you want a clean CMS without the overhead of WordPress or Drupal.
No Database Required
Razor CMS stores all your content as flat files on your server. That means simpler setup, fewer potential failure points, and faster page delivery.
Free and Open Source
The Razor CMS platform is completely free. There are no license fees, and the code is open for anyone to inspect, modify, or extend.
Runs on Any PHP-Compatible Host
Razor CMS requires PHP 5.3 or higher and has no database dependency, which means it runs smoothly on standard shared hosting. HostPapa supports PHP versions 5.6 through 8.1, so you can always run the latest stable release.
IS RAZOR CMS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Razor CMS Is Perfect for Lightweight, Flexible Websites
Not every website needs a heavy content management system. Razor CMS is designed for people who want full control over their content without the complexity of larger platforms. Here's who gets the most out of it:
Small Business Owners
If you need an online presence for your business—a few pages, a blog, a contact form—Razor CMS delivers exactly that without the plugin sprawl of WordPress. Less to manage means more time running your business.
Freelancers & Portfolios
Razor CMS's theme system lets you customize how your site looks without writing code from scratch. It's a great fit for photographers, designers, consultants, and writers who want a personal site that loads fast and stays out of their way.
Developers & Tech-Savvy Users
If you know your way around PHP and want a CMS you can genuinely understand end to end, Razor CMS is a refreshing alternative to heavier frameworks. It's easy to extend, theme, and host on standard infrastructure.
BUILT FOR RAZOR CMS
HostPapa's Hosting Is Tuned for Razor CMS Performance
Because Razor CMS is a flat-file system with no database dependency, it thrives on fast, reliable shared hosting, and that's exactly what we offer. Our servers are specifically configured to deliver the PHP environment and storage performance that Razor CMS needs to load quickly and run reliably.
PHP 5.6 to 8.1 Support
Razor CMS requires PHP 5.3 or higher, and HostPapa supports PHP versions from 5.6 through 8.1. You can switch versions directly from your cPanel dashboard without contacting support.
No Database? No Problem.
Every HostPapa plan includes MySQL databases for any additional apps or tools you want to run alongside Razor CMS. But because Razor CMS uses flat files, your site stays fast even on entry-level plans.
One-Click Install via Softaculous
Our hosting plans include Softaculous, the industry-leading auto-installer that lets you get Razor CMS running with a single click. No FTP uploads, no manual file permissions, no config file editing.

What is Razor CMS?
Razor CMS is a free, open-source, flat-file content management system built on PHP. Unlike WordPress or Joomla!, it doesn't require a MySQL database. All your content is stored as files on your server. It's lightweight, fast, and designed for people who want a simple, straightforward way to manage a website.
Does Razor CMS require a database?
No. Razor CMS is a file-based CMS, meaning it stores all its content, settings, and media as flat files rather than in a relational database. This is one of Razor CMS's biggest advantages: it's simpler to set up, easier to back up, and faster to deliver content.
What PHP version does Razor CMS need?
Razor CMS requires PHP 5.3 or higher. HostPapa supports PHP versions 5.6 through 8.1, so you can run Razor CMS on any of our hosting plans and choose the PHP version that works best for your setup directly from your cPanel dashboard.
Is Razor CMS free?
Yes. Razor CMS is completely free and open-source. There's no license fee to download or use it, and many community plugins are also available at no cost. The only expense is your hosting plan, which starts at $2.95 per month with HostPapa.
Can I migrate my existing Razor CMS site to HostPapa?
Absolutely. We offer free professional website migration with all hosting plans. Our migration team handles the file transfer, DNS update, and configuration for you with zero downtime and no cost to you. Just submit a migration request after signing up and we'll take it from there.
What HostPapa plan should I use for Razor CMS?
Because Razor CMS doesn't require a database and uses flat files, it runs efficiently on any HostPapa plan. The Essentials plan at $2.95 per month is a great starting point for personal sites or small business pages. If you're running multiple Razor CMS sites or expect higher traffic, the Growth or Premium plans offer more storage, more websites, and more server resources.
Does HostPapa support Razor CMS plugins and themes?
Yes. Because HostPapa gives you full cPanel access and Softaculous installation, you have complete control over your Razor CMS environment. You can install and configure any Razor CMS-compatible plugin or theme by uploading files through the File Manager or FTP, just as you would on any standard shared hosting account.
Can I run Razor CMS alongside other apps on HostPapa?
Yes. HostPapa's Growth, Premium, and Elite plans support multiple websites and include MySQL databases, so you can run Razor CMS on one domain while hosting a WordPress site, WooCommerce store, or any other application on additional domains, all under one hosting account.
