How to Host Joomla on Google Cloud (GCE)

Updated on November 29, 2021

4 Min Read

Hosting any application on a cloud infrastructure is a tedious task and requires a decent amount of technical knowledge, specially when you are deploying it directly on the cloud infrastructure. Joomla is an open-source content management system that is used for publishing web content. It is built on a MVC (Model View Controller) web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS.

Joomla is one of those content management systems that require a bit of technical knowledge and expertise. It is not easy for a beginner to just sit on the internet and host joomla application or website on top of their favorite cloud infrastructure provider.
