Deploy Grav in one click installation.
Fast, modern flat-file CMS with no database required — just Markdown files, Twig templates, and a plugin ecosystem.
What you can build with Grav
Grav is a modern flat-file CMS that stores all content as Markdown files on the filesystem, eliminating the database entirely. Built on PHP with Twig templating, it delivers fast page loads through file-based caching, a built-in admin panel for non-technical editors, and over 300 plugins for forms, SEO, search, and multilingual content.
Self-hosting Grav on your VPS means backups are as simple as copying a folder, version control is handled by Git natively, and there are no database connection limits, query tuning headaches, or separate backup jobs — just files and your application running on hardware you control.
Key features of Grav
No Database Required
All content lives as Markdown files, removing the need for database setup, connection pooling, or query optimization for typical site workloads.
Built-In Admin Panel
Manage pages, themes, plugins, and user accounts through a polished web interface without touching the command line or editing files directly.
Rich Plugin Ecosystem
Over 300 plugins cover forms, multilingual support, search, SEO, image optimization, and more — install them in one click from the admin panel.
Git-Friendly Content
The file-based architecture makes the entire site — content, configuration, and code — trackable in Git for automated deployments and change history.
Twig Templating
Build fully custom themes using the Twig template engine with access to the powerful content API, taxonomy system, and media pipeline.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.

Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
