How to install

If you’re a Home Pro or Business Pro web hosting customer, simply log into eXtend and scroll down to the Joomla 2.5 icon to install via our one-click installer.

If you’re a reseller hosting customer, you’ll need to activate it for your hosting packages first by logging into the Reseller Control Centre and clicking ‘Configure Hosting Packages’. Once you’ve selected a package to edit, scroll down and check the ‘Joomla’ box. Then save your changes by clicking ‘Edit Package’.

Enjoy Joomla 2.5!
