Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose Web Hosting or Frontend Cloud?

Choose Frontend Cloud when your project builds to static HTML, CSS, and browser JavaScript with no backend process. Choose Web Hosting when the website runs PHP or Node.js, renders pages on demand, handles API routes, uses WordPress, or needs a database connection.

How many websites can I host?

Starter supports up to 1 websites, Standard supports up to 2 websites, Business supports up to 4 websites, and Pro supports up to 10 websites. Each website is deployed and managed independently inside the same hosting subscription.

How do the website limits work?

A single subscription includes all of the website slots shown on the plan. For example, one Starter subscription lets you add and manage up to 1 separate websites. Each website has its own code, deployments, domain connection, logs, and settings.

Can I host Next.js, PHP, WordPress, and a static site?

Yes. Web Hosting supports PHP and Composer projects, modern Next.js applications, WordPress, and static output. Darwa detects the project type and runs the appropriate build and runtime workflow. WordPress and other MySQL-backed sites can start on Starter, which includes 1 MySQL database.

Do PostgreSQL and MySQL come with the hosting plan?

MySQL is included from Starter: Standard includes 1 database, Business includes 2, and Pro includes 4. Additional MySQL databases are $0.99 per month each. PostgreSQL is available only on Pro as one $8.99 per month add-on. Database capacity and usage are billed separately.

Can I host WordPress on Darwa Web Hosting?

Yes. WordPress is supported on every Web Hosting plan, including Starter. Each plan ships with PHP and at least one MySQL database, so a WordPress site has everything it needs on day one: free SSL on your connected domain, daily backups with 30-day retention, and phpMyAdmin for direct database access. You deploy WordPress from Git or the Darwa CLI, and Darwa detects the WordPress project automatically and runs the right PHP runtime.

Do I need a higher plan to run WordPress?

No. WordPress runs on PHP and MySQL, and both are included on every plan from Starter upward. Node.js and npm builds are limited to Business and Pro, but WordPress does not need them. Choose a larger plan when you want more websites, more storage, or additional MySQL databases rather than for WordPress support itself.

How do I move an existing WordPress website to Darwa?

Push your WordPress files to a Git repository and connect it as a Web Hosting website, then import your existing database through phpMyAdmin and point your domain at Darwa. Managed SSL is issued automatically once the domain resolves, and your first daily backup runs as soon as the site is live.

Can I install WordPress plugins and themes?

Yes. Plugins and themes are part of your WordPress files, so anything you commit to your repository deploys with the site. Composer-managed WordPress projects are supported too, which is the cleanest way to keep plugin and theme versions under source control.

How do domains and SSL work?

You can connect one custom domain to each hosted website, and managed SSL is included. Domain registration is not included—you can use a domain you already own or register one with any domain provider.

How do the 1, 12, 24, 36-month terms work?

The selected term is prepaid. Every plan card shows the introductory total due today and the exact total for the next renewal. Longer renewal terms keep a lower effective monthly rate, and the subscription continues for the same period until canceled.

Is Darwa a cPanel alternative?

Darwa replaces the cPanel workflow rather than shipping cPanel itself. Deployments come from Git or the Darwa CLI instead of an FTP file manager, databases are managed through phpMyAdmin, and domains, SSL, backups, logs, and mailboxes are handled in the Darwa dashboard. If your workflow depends on cPanel-specific tooling or WHM reselling, Darwa is not a drop-in replacement.

How does Darwa compare to traditional shared hosting?

Traditional shared hosting is usually managed by uploading files and editing configuration by hand. Darwa deploys from Git, detects the runtime, issues SSL automatically, and keeps daily backups with 30-day retention. It also runs Node.js on Business and Pro, which most shared hosts do not offer, and mailboxes are included on the same plan rather than sold separately.

What is the difference between Darwa Web Hosting and managed WordPress hosting?

Dedicated managed-WordPress platforms specialise in one application and add WordPress-specific caching, staging, and plugin controls. Darwa runs WordPress alongside PHP, Node.js, and static sites on the same plan, with the same Git deployments and one dashboard for domains, databases, and mailboxes. Choose Darwa when you host a mix of project types; choose a WordPress-only platform when you need deep WordPress-specific tooling.

Can I move from my current host without downtime?

Yes, if you deploy and verify before switching DNS. Connect your repository, import the database through phpMyAdmin, and test on the free Darwa subdomain while your current host still serves live traffic. Point the domain at Darwa once the site is verified; managed SSL is issued when the domain resolves.

How should I choose the best web hosting in 2026?

Compare renewal pricing, supported runtimes, website and database limits, backup retention, SSL, domain workflow, email, deployment history, support, and measured performance. The best web hosting in 2026 is the service that fits those requirements after the introductory term, not simply the provider advertising the lowest first-month price. Darwa publishes each plan's limits and 30-day backup retention before checkout.

Does shared hosting include free SSL and a domain?

Darwa provides shared hosting with free SSL for every connected domain. You bring a domain registered with any provider, connect its DNS, and Darwa issues and renews the certificate. Domain registration itself is not bundled, so the phrase website hosting with domain means hosting a domain you own rather than receiving a free registration.

Is Darwa suitable for cheap business, ecommerce, and agency web hosting?

Darwa offers cheap web hosting tiers with published renewal prices, plus business web hosting for sites that need more capacity, Node.js, databases, mailboxes, and backups. Ecommerce hosting is supported when the application fits a published runtime. Agencies can manage multiple client sites, but Darwa is not currently an agency web hosting reseller or WHM reseller product.
