What is included.
What ALCO does for you under Joomla hosting, in plain terms.
Core and extension updates
Applied on a schedule and checked afterwards: pages, menus, forms, logins.
Upgrades from Joomla 3 and 4
Still on an old major version? We plan and run the upgrade on a staging copy first.
Cloudflare Enterprise in front
Firewall, bot rules, DDoS protection and an edge cache.
Nightly backups
Files and database every night, off the server, restores on request.
Tuned PHP and database
PHP-FPM and MariaDB sized and maintained for the site.
People who answer
One number for editors and administrators.
How it works.
Four steps, each one written down as we go.
- 1
Scope
We look at what you run today, how much traffic and data it carries, and who needs access. You get a written plan and price before anything moves.
- 2
Build
We stand up Joomla on the ALCO server, in its own isolated environment, with Cloudflare Enterprise, backups and monitoring wired in from day one.
- 3
Move
Existing data, users and settings are migrated and checked, DNS is switched in a window you approve, and the old system stays available until you sign off.
- 4
Run it
From then on ALCO applies updates, watches the board, restores from backup when asked and answers the calls.
Who this is for.
Businesses that want it run, not just rented
A server somewhere is easy. Someone who updates it, backs it up, watches it and picks up the phone is the part you are buying.
Teams that have outgrown shared hosting
When the shared plan is slow, the control panel is a mystery and support is a chat bot, a managed instance on the ALCO server is the next step.
Anyone who wants their data in one accountable place
Your instance, your data, on infrastructure ALCO owns and operates in Idaho, behind Cloudflare Enterprise.
Questions people ask.
Can you move our Joomla site?
Yes. We copy it, bring it up on the ALCO server, check it with you and switch DNS in a window you approve.
Should we move to WordPress instead?
If it would serve you better we will say so, with the cost. Many Joomla sites are fine where they are.
Who applies the security updates?
ALCO, on a schedule, with critical ones applied the day they land.
- The client area
Everything ALCO does for you, in one place.
Requests, your team, invoices, documents, shared credentials and sign-in security. One sign-in, any device. Take the tour.
