How Does Shared Website Hosting Work?

If you are looking for a cheap website hosting solution, the solution for you is called shared web hosting.

What Is Shared Web Hosting?

Over the years, the demand for web hosting services has increased greatly, but users also like reasonable prices. The solution web hosting service providers have set up is called shared web hosting. These hosting companies accommodate a lot of customers on one server, making sure that they do not interfere with each other by placing limitations on the resources each shared account is allowed to make use of. This allows for both satisfactory performance and lower maintenance costs as compared with a dedicated server web hosting, which is utilized by only one single client, and permits web hosts to offer budget prices to their clients.

What can you do with a shared web hosting account?

The shared web hosting accounts traditionally offer multiple website, email and database management tools - a Control Panel, a File Manager interface, an FTP client, a phpMyAdmin tool, and typically webmail - to access your mailboxes. At Palm Servers, we offer all these features at attractive rates. We offer both monthly and annual invoicing options and also offer a cheap domain name registration with each of our shared hosting plans. You can also manage everything from a single place with us - our user-friendly hosting Control Panel has all the features you need to handle your web files, DNS records, register and renew more domain names, create mail accounts and mail aliases, enable e-mail forwarding and auto-configure your electronic mail client software. How many domains you can accommodate in your shared hosting account is determined by the web hosting package you have, but bandwidth and server disk space are unlimited - you are only restricted when it comes to the central processing unit usage and the quantity of hosted domains.

Backup

Beside all the common features, it is very important when the web hosting plans provider ensures that your hosting content is secure. Hence, the availability of periodic backups is crucial and you should ascertain in advance if the web hosting packages provider of your choice is offering such. We conduct everyday backups and keeps backups for the last week. The backup encompasses your web site files and databases and to have it recovered, you have to speak with our technical support staff.
