Arcustech Craft CMS Hosting review
A Craft-focused managed VPS service for teams that want server flexibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arcustech Craft CMS Hosting is a paid, managed VPS service for developers, agencies, and content teams running Craft CMS websites. Arcustech manages the operating system and web stack, while customers retain responsibility for the Craft CMS application, code, and content. The service is available through eight plans, from Craft CMS - Managed VPS - 2GB Starter to Craft CMS - Managed VPS - 24GB, with each plan highlighting a managed web and database server.
Its main strength is the depth of its Craft-oriented server environment. The service supports PHP extensions and configuration for Craft CMS, MySQL or PostgreSQL databases, and pre-installed Redis. Deployment workflows can use SFTP, Git, or CI/CD, with integrations for GitHub Actions, Buddy, and Git. The stack also includes an Nginx proxy with Apache, SSL, gzip, and HTTP/2, alongside user-level SSH and database tunneling. Regional hosting is available in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, which gives distributed teams more hosting-location options.
Backup coverage is a central part of the offering: Arcustech describes five encrypted off-site full-system backups, automatic weekly backups, and on-demand restore points. Published pricing is monthly, with stated discounts of 5% for semi-annual billing and 10% for annual billing. This makes the service a fit for teams that want managed infrastructure without giving up control over deployments, databases, and server-level access. It is less suitable for customers seeking a free plan or a fully managed Craft application service where the provider also handles site code and content.
