What In Fact is Shared Website Hosting?

If you are looking for an inexpensive website hosting service, the service for you is called shared hosting.

What Is Shared Hosting?

Over the years, the demand for web hosting services has increased hugely, but people also want modest prices. The service web hosting distributors have invented is called shared hosting. These web hosts accommodate numerous clients on the same web hosting server, making sure that they do not interfere with each other by setting limits on the server resources each shared account is allowed to make use of. This allows for both dependable performance and lower maintenance costs as compared with a dedicated hosting, which is used by just one user, and allows web hosting corporations to offer budget prices to their customers.

What can you do with a shared hosting account?

The shared hosting accounts typically offer various website, email and database management tools - a hosting Control Panel, a File Manager tool, a File Transfer Protocol client, a phpMyAdmin tool, and usually webmail - to check your mail accounts. At Helios Host, we provide all these tools at moderate prices. We have both monthly and annual invoicing options and also provide a cheap domain registration with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can also manage everything from one single place with us - our easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel has all the features you need to manage your web files, Domain Name System records, register and renew more domain names, create email accounts and e-mail aliases, activate e-mail forwarding and automatically configure your electronic mail software client. How many domain names you can accommodate in your shared web hosting account is determined by the hosting package you have, but web traffic and hosting server hard disk storage space are unlimited - you are only restricted in terms of the CPU usage and the quantity of hosted domains.

Backup

Aside from all the conventional tools, it is extremely important when the hosting accounts provider makes certain that your hosting data is secure. That is why the availability of routine backups is imperative and you should ascertain in advance if the hosting distributor of your choosing is offering such. We perform daily backups and keeps backups for the last 7 days. The backup comprises your web site files and databases and to have it retrieved, you need to contact our technical support department. They answer in less than an hour, so if you erased those web files unintentionally - do not be scared, hope is the last to die!
