What is Shared Web Hosting?

If you are searching for a low-priced website hosting service, the service for you is called shared hosting.

What Is Shared Hosting?

Over the years, the demand for website hosting services has increased vastly, but clients also prefer modest prices. The solution web hosting service providers have come up with is called shared hosting. These hosting companies host numerous customers on one hosting server, making sure that they do not intervene with each other by setting limits on the server resources each shared account is allowed to use. This allows for both good performance and lower running costs as compared with a dedicated server, which is utilized by only a single individual, and enables web hosting providers to offer moderate prices to their customers.

What can you achieve with a shared hosting account?

The shared hosting accounts typically offer diverse website, mail and database administration tools - a web hosting Control Panel, a File Manager interface, an FTP client, a phpMyAdmin tool, and normally webmail - to check your email mailbox accounts. At GreatHosts.biz, we offer all these features at modest rates. We have both monthly and annual billing options and also offer a cheap domain registration with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can also administer everything from one and the same location with us - our intuitive hosting Control Panel has all the features you need to handle your files, Domain Name System resource records, register and renew more domains, create e-mail accounts and mail aliases, enable e-mail forwarding and automatically configure your e-mail client. How many domain names you can host in your web hosting account depends on the website hosting plan you have, but traffic and hard disk storage space are unlimited - you are only limited when it comes to the central processing unit usage quota and the number of hosted domain names.

Backup

Apart from all the conventional tools, it is extremely essential when the web hosting supplier makes sure that your content is shielded. That is why the presence of automatic backups is vital and you should find out in advance if the web host of your preference is offering such. We carry out day-to-day backups and maintains backups for the past 7 days. The backup consists of your web files and databases and to have it restored, you have to contact our technical support department. They get back to you in less than one hour, so if you deleted those website files by chance - do not go to pieces, hope still exists!
