Hosting guide

Set up your Astra hosting.

Your hosting account is managed from your Astra dashboard.

Hosting is in preparation

Hosting cannot currently be ordered. This guide describes the setup path for an accepted hosting package; it does not confirm that an account, email or backups are available yet.

1. Choose a hosting package

Choose an available package and a domain you own, or add a domain registration to the same cart. Review the current price, limits, backup and SSL coverage before paying.

2. Open your hosting control panel

After confirmed payment and account setup, open Websites in your dashboard and choose your service. Open control panel gives you access to that hosting account.

3. Publish and connect your site

Upload website files or install WordPress in the control panel. Use the website IP shown in Astra to set its A record at your DNS provider. Preserve mail records unless you are moving email as well. Configure HTTPS before using a site that requires it.

4. Set up email and backups

Create mailboxes and view email-app settings or webmail from the control panel. Follow your package’s backup policy and download exports of website files, databases and mail when needed. Ask Astra for help with a migration or restoration.

5. Manage your subscription

Use Billing in Astra to manage payment methods and cancellation. Cancellation applies to all recurring services in the same subscription and ends access under the accepted package terms. Export your data before service ends.

Open your websites

Choose the Astra service for your project.

One team, three distinct offers. For a business website, visit Astra Web Dev. Hosting included in a Web Dev plan does not require an extra Cloud subscription. Accounts, billing and support follow the service you choose.
