Is Contao supported? Contao hosting at SpeedIT Solutions

Yes, Contao is supported

Contao is an accessible, secure open-source CMS that is particularly popular in German-speaking countries. You select the PHP version Contao needs per domain. You can install it with the Contao Manager or with Composer via SSH.

Which plan suits your Contao site?

  • Economy: smaller company and club websites
  • Professional: extensive, multilingual sites and agency projects with several installations
  • Premium: high-traffic sites or Contao with a shop extension

Installing Contao

Download contao-manager.phar from contao.org, rename it to contao-manager.phar.php and place it in the public folder of your domain. Set the document root of the domain to public in the control panel and open the Contao Manager in your browser. It guides you through the installation and database setup.
