Enhance Panel hosting for Concrete CMS - PHP 8.1+, MySQL, Composer, NVMe SSD, free SSL, and UK support from £2.99/mo.
About Concrete CMS
Concrete CMS hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides the PHP 8.1 environment, MySQL database, and Composer package management that Concrete CMS 9 requires to run as an inline-editing CMS on Enhance Panel infrastructure. Concrete CMS (formerly Concrete5) is an open-source CMS with a distinctive in-context editing interface - content editors click directly on page elements to edit them without switching to a separate back-end admin screen. This approach is popular with organisations whose editors are not technically skilled, since it makes content management intuitive and visual. Concrete CMS is used extensively by universities, government departments, and SMEs in the UK. Its Symfony-component core requires PHP 8.1 and Composer for add-on package management. Glitch Servers provides PHP 8.1 through 8.3, Composer via SSH, MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.x, all required PHP extensions, cron support, and free SSL on all Enhance Panel plans.
Server Requirements
Every Enhance Panel plan at Glitch Servers meets or exceeds these requirements out of the box.
