Frequently asked questions

Can the same plan host both WordPress and Drupal?

Yes — both run on PHP/MySQL and are happy on the same managed Linux stack. We pre-tune Apache/Nginx, OPcache and PHP-FPM differently for each, but you don’t need a separate plan.

Is Drupal slower than WordPress?

Out of the box, Drupal is slightly heavier per request — but with a tuned PHP-FPM pool, OPcache, and a CDN in front, the difference disappears for almost every small-business site.

What about plugin/module updates?

WordPress core, plugins, themes and Drupal core/contrib modules can all be on a managed update cadence — we handle weekly minor updates and monthly major ones for care-plan customers.

Do you migrate from existing Bluehost / HostGator / GoDaddy / Pantheon accounts?

Yes — for free. Most migrations finish the same business day, and we keep the old host live until your domain is pointed and tested.

Need Coquitlam hosting that does both?

Tell us which CMS you run today; we will migrate it for free, with no downtime.
