shared hosting

Shared hosting, also sometimes referred to as virtual hosting, is a web hosting environment where each individual hosting account is stored on a single web server. Think of a web server as a very powerful computer loaded with resources. Each of the accounts on the server shares the server’s system resources. These resources include disk space, data transfer and server processing power.

Shared Hosting offers you an affordable solution to get your web site up and running because all the related server hosting costs are shared and spread out among the other users/accounts who are being hosted on that server.

Shared hosting is a perfect platform if you have modest website needs. In particular, this means if you are just starting a website, have a small business website or just run a website as a hobby with minimal resource needs. Shared Web Hosting is also a popular option if you run a simple blog or forum. In short, Shared Hosting is ideal if you have small websites or are just getting started since it is a good learning environment to get your “ feet wet” with a minimal investment.

Shared Hosting is also a popular option if you don’t quite know what sort of resources you need yet. You’ll be happy to learn that Skyehost Hosting customers never pay account upgrade fees. That means you can upgrade to a larger Shared Hosting account or even move into a VPS or a Dedicated Server if you discover more server resources are needed than what is included with your Shared Hosting account. 

At Skyehost  Hosting, a key advantage of our Shared Web Hosting packages is obviously speed. However, the other pros of these plans include affordability and convenience. Our shared web hosting environment means we can offer reasonably priced web hosting plans because our customers are not only sharing server resources, but they are also spreading the cost of hardware, server maintenance, security updates and other costs among the other customers hosted on the server. As an Skyehost Hosting shared web hosting customer, you also do not have to worry about server uptime and technical support because that’s our job. That’s our expertise!

Our Shared Web Hosting packages each come with large amounts of resources like disk space, data transfer and email accounts that are perfect for your personal and small business websites.  These are just a few of the reasons why we offer the best web hosting for small businesses and personal sites.

Please note that each account on a shared server does not feature root access. Users looking for administrative level access to their server should consider using our VPS Hosting or Dedicated Server plans. Additionally, customers who have eCommerce sites or existing websites that receive a large number of visitors each month may want to use VPS Hosting as well. Otherwise, you’ll discover that Skyehost Hosting’s Shared Hosting is an excellent solution for your website.
