What is Backdrop CMS?
Backdrop CMS is a free, open-source content management system that started as a fork of Drupal 7. It keeps the way Drupal 7 works, with content types, fields, taxonomy and Views, and adds a layout builder and a visual editor as standard. It's aimed at small and medium-sized organisations, charities and schools that want a capable website without the cost of a large development project. Sites built on Drupal 7 have an upgrade path to Backdrop, and a library of modules and themes lets you add features and change the design.
Fast, reliable Backdrop CMS hosting
Your Backdrop site runs on LiteSpeed web servers with NVMe storage, so pages open quickly for visitors and the admin area stays responsive for editors. Always-on malware protection guards your account, free SSL secures every page, and automatic daily backups are kept for 10 to 30 days depending on your plan, ready for you to restore from cPanel. We also offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
Backdrop CMS hosting made easy
Install Backdrop CMS in one click from cPanel and start building your pages in about a minute. If your Backdrop site is hosted somewhere else, our team moves it for free while it stays online.
