About Craft CMS
Craft CMS hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides the PHP 8.2 environment, Composer package management, SSH access, and NVMe SSD performance that Craft CMS 4 and 5 require. Craft CMS is a developer-first content management platform favoured by digital agencies and content-heavy organisations for its flexible field types, Matrix blocks, element queries, and Twig templating - giving developers fine-grained control over content architecture without the constraints of WordPress's post model. Craft 5 requires PHP 8.2 and uses Composer for all plugin and update management, making SSH access an essential requirement for proper Craft deployments. Glitch Servers provides PHP 8.2 and 8.3, Composer via SSH, MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.x, writable storage and config directories, cron support for queue workers, and free SSL on every Enhance Panel plan. UK routing through AS212868 ensures UK visitors experience fast TTFB from a Craft-rendered page served from domestic infrastructure.
Server Requirements
Every Enhance Panel plan at Glitch Servers meets or exceeds these requirements out of the box.
Craft CMS 4 requires PHP 8.0.2+; Craft 5 requires PHP 8.2+. MySQL 5.7.8+ or MariaDB 10.3.23+. Composer 2.x. SSH access recommended for Composer and Craft CLI. PHP extensions: bcmath, ctype, curl, dom, imagick or gd, intl, json, mbstring, openssl, pdo, reflection, spl, zip. Cron jobs for queue workers. Writable storage/ and config/ directories.
Why It Matters
Glitch Servers provides PHP 8.2/8.3, Composer via SSH, MySQL/MariaDB, all required PHP extensions, cron support for queue workers, and writable directories on all Enhance Panel plans. Imagick is available as a PHP extension for advanced image transforms. UK routing keeps TTFB low for UK visitors.
What You Get
UK-based infrastructure, Enhance Panel control, and the tools Craft CMS developers and users actually need.
Craft 5 requires PHP 8.2 - available on all plans alongside Composer via SSH. Install plugins, run Craft CLI commands, and manage updates from the command line.
Craft CMS uses Imagick (or GD) for image transforms. Imagick is available as a PHP extension on Glitch Servers Enhance Panel plans, enabling sharper image processing and better format support than GD alone.
Craft's queue system handles background tasks including image transforms, email sends, and search indexing. Set up a cron job to run the queue worker on a schedule from the Enhance Panel.
Craft writes compiled templates, logs, and asset transforms to the storage/ directory. Enhance Panel file permissions are fully configurable to ensure Craft can write without permission errors.
One-Click Install
Craft CMS is installed via Composer: composer create-project craftcms/craft my-project over SSH. the one-click installer covers WordPress, Joomla, and 400+ other apps if you need them alongside your Craft project.
All Glitch Servers Enhance Panel plans include one-click installation for WordPress, WooCommerce, and Joomla - free with every hosting plan.
