What is Shared Web Hosting?

If you are looking for a modestly priced hosting solution, the solution for you is called shared hosting.

What Is Shared Hosting?

Over the years, the need for hosting services has escalated vastly, but customers also want reasonable prices. The solution web hosting distributors have conceived is called shared hosting. These hosting service providers accommodate plenty of customers on the same hosting server, ensuring that they do not intervene with each other by setting limitations on the server resources each shared account is permitted to avail of. This allows for both decent performance and lower running costs as compared to a dedicated server, which is used by only a single customer, and allows web hosting firms to offer attractive prices to their customers.

What can you do with a shared hosting account?

The shared hosting accounts normally come with various web site, electronic mail and database management features - a hosting CP, a File Manager interface, a File Transfer Protocol client, a phpMyAdmin interface, and normally webmail - to check your electronic mail accounts. At Hosting All Star, we provide all these tools at low rates. We offer both monthly and annual billing options and also provide a cheap domain registration with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can also manage everything from one single location with us - our intuitive web hosting CP offers all the functions you need to manage your web files, Domain Name System records, register and renew more domain names, create mail accounts and mailbox aliases, activate e-mail forwarding and auto-configure your electronic mail client. How many domains you can accommodate in your shared hosting account is dependent on the hosting package you have, but monthly traffic and web server disk drive storage space are unmetered - you are solely limited when it comes to the CPU allocation and the quantity of hosted domains.

Backup

Beside all the usual features, it is very important when the website hosting supplier guarantees that your hosting content is guarded. This is the reason why the availability of periodic backups is compulsory and you should settle in advance if the web hosting solutions provider of your choice is offering such. We carry out everyday backups and maintains backups for the past seven days. The backup contains your files and databases and to have it retrieved, you need to touch base with our tech support staff. They reply in less than an hour, so if you erased those files fortuitously - do not be alarmed, hope still survives!
