Why Host Roundcube With HostPapa
Roundcube is lightweight by design, but the quality of your hosting environment still makes a real difference in how fast your webmail loads, how reliably it handles attachments and searches, and how secure your email connections are. Here is what HostPapa brings to the table for Roundcube users specifically.
One-Click Installation, No Technical Setup Required
You do not need to manually download files, create databases, or configure IMAP settings. HostPapa's Softaculous installer sets up Roundcube in a single click. Your webmail client will be live and ready to use within minutes of signing up. We also handle Roundcube updates through the same installer, so you are always running a current, secure version.
NVMe Storage for Faster Email Access
Every HostPapa hosting plan runs on NVMe solid-state drives, which deliver read and write speeds up to 3x faster than traditional SSDs. For Roundcube, this translates to faster inbox loading, quicker message searches across large mailboxes, and smoother handling of file attachments.
PHP and Database Compatibility
Roundcube requires PHP and a supported database (MySQL or MariaDB). HostPapa supports multiple PHP versions (including PHP 7.x and 8.x) so you can run the version that works best with your Roundcube installation. Our MySQL/MariaDB databases are performance-tuned and ready to go, with no additional configuration needed on your part.
Free SSL for Secure Email Connections
Every hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate, which is essential for Roundcube. SSL encrypts the connection between your browser and the server, protecting your login credentials and email content in transit. Since Roundcube handles sensitive information like passwords and private messages, running it over HTTPS is not optional; it is a requirement. HostPapa makes sure you are covered from day one.
Reliable Uptime and Server Stability
Your webmail needs to be available whenever you need to check or send a message. HostPapa's 99.9% uptime guarantee, backed by CloudLinux OS server isolation and redundant network infrastructure, means your Roundcube installation stays online and responsive. Each hosting account gets dedicated server resources, so other sites on the same server will not slow down your email access.
24/7 Multilingual Support
If you run into any issues with your Roundcube setup, configuration, or performance, our PapaSquad support team is available around the clock by live chat, phone, and email. Our team can help with everything from initial installation questions to troubleshooting IMAP connection settings or resolving plugin conflicts.

How do I install Roundcube on HostPapa?
HostPapa includes the Softaculous one-click installer with all shared hosting plans. Just log into cPanel, open Softaculous, find Roundcube under the Mail category, and click Install. The installer handles database creation, file setup, and configuration automatically. Your Roundcube webmail will be live within a few minutes.
Do I need my own domain to use Roundcube?
Yes. Roundcube is a webmail interface that connects to email accounts on your domain. You will need a registered domain name with email accounts set up (which HostPapa hosting includes). All HostPapa plans with a billing term of one year or longer include a free domain registration or transfer.
What PHP version does Roundcube require?
Roundcube supports PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.x. HostPapa lets you choose your PHP version through cPanel, so you can run whichever version is compatible with your Roundcube release and any plugins you have installed. We recommend using the latest stable PHP version for the best performance and security.
Can I use Roundcube alongside other webmail clients?
Yes. Roundcube runs as a separate web application in its own directory, so it works alongside the default cPanel webmail clients (like Horde) without any conflicts. You can access whichever interface you prefer.
Is Roundcube secure?
Roundcube itself includes built-in protections against common threats like cross-site scripting (XSS) and brute-force login attacks. When hosted on HostPapa, your Roundcube installation also benefits from our server-level security: a free SSL certificate encrypts all connections, Imunify360 provides automated malware detection and a web application firewall, and CloudLinux OS isolates your account from other users on the server.
Can I customize how Roundcube looks and works?
Absolutely. Roundcube has a large library of plugins and skins available through its official repository. Plugins can add features like calendar integration, automatic replies, message tagging, and more. Skins let you change the visual design of the interface. You can install plugins and skins directly through your Roundcube admin panel or by uploading them via cPanel's File Manager.
