Shared Hosting is an entry-level type of web hosting where one physical server hosts multiple websites (and often hosts hundreds of users). Since each user gets (“shares”) a section of that individual server where they can host their website files, this keeps costs low. Here users share system resources on-demand, receiving a percentage of databases, disk space, CPU, RAM as well as email and FTP accounts. Other resources include the single MySQL server, Apache server, and mail server. Considered the most cost-effective option, Shared Hosting offers enough resources for any startup, local business, or personal website.

Besides the pricing, there are some important criteria to think about when deciding what hosting provider to use. You should look for uptime, server speed, traffic and resource limits, customization opportunities and what type of support they offer.

We handle this on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes we can upgrade your current package and can always move to a Managed VPS or Cloud Dedicated Server (we move all the data, you just have to pay the package difference). Scaling with HostSold is easy!
