MODERN WEBSITE HOSTING
What Is Grav?
Grav is a free, open-source flat-file CMS written in PHP. Instead of a database, it keeps your content in Markdown files and your settings in YAML files, then builds each page with the Twig template engine. There's no database to set up, back up, or tune, and your whole site can live in version control.
Grav's Admin plugin gives editors a friendly dashboard, while developers get a command-line tool and a package manager for adding themes and plugins. It's a popular choice for documentation sites, portfolios, blogs, and small business websites that need speed more than heavy features.
LAUNCH YOUR GRAV SITE IN MINUTES
Why Choose HostPapa for Grav Hosting?
HostPapa gives you everything Grav needs to get started. Our Web Hosting plans let you pick your PHP version in cPanel, include 400+ one-click apps through Softaculous, and come with a FREE SSL certificate for your site and admin panel.
Because Grav reads files instead of querying a database, it's a great match for our Web Hosting plans. NVMe storage keeps file reads fast, and Grav's built-in caching keeps pages quick as your site grows, so most Grav sites run comfortably on Essentials or Growth. If you're building several client sites, running a large documentation library, or want root access for Git-based deployments, VPS Hosting gives you dedicated resources and full control over your server.
Have a Grav site with another host? We offer FREE website and domain migration, so our team can help move it to HostPapa.

Does Grav Need a Database?
No. Grav stores your content in Markdown files and your settings in YAML files, so there's no database to set up, back up, or tune.
Can I Install Grav With One Click?
Yes. HostPapa includes 400+ one-click apps through Softaculous, and Grav can be installed in a few clicks from cPanel.
Can Non-Technical Editors Use Grav?
Yes. Grav's Admin plugin gives editors a browser-based dashboard for creating pages, uploading media, and changing settings, so they don't need to edit files directly.
Can I Keep My Grav Site in Version Control?
Yes. Because your whole Grav site is made of files, you can track it in a version control system like Git. If you want root access for Git-based deployments, choose VPS Hosting.
Which HostPapa Plan Should I Choose for Grav?
Most Grav sites run comfortably on our Essentials or Growth plans, since Grav is light and NVMe storage keeps file reads fast. If you're building several client sites or running a large documentation library, VPS Hosting gives you dedicated resources.
Can HostPapa Move My Existing Grav Site?
Yes. We offer FREE website and domain migration, so our team can help move your Grav site to HostPapa.
