Shared web hosting is virtual hosted server located
on a machine (computer) with other shared hosted sites.
For those who are new to having their own web site
shared hosting is recommended. Why do I recommend shared
hosting? That’s simple, the hosting company takes care
of everything server wise which leaves you more time to
design, promote, and manage your web page. My first
hosting experience I spent more time messing with my
server than I did working on my own web page. What a
waste of time and money!
Shared hosting is very cheap for the service most
companies provide. You should be able to find a decent
shared host for less than 10 dollars a month. Since
these packages are on the cheaper side some companies
won’t include features that are included with other
packages. Some basic features that you will want is
CPanel, POP3 email, FTP access, FREE 24/7 support, Perl,
PHP, and your own CGI-BIN.
Some hosts will charge less than 5 dollars a month
for their services. These are the companies to avoid!
Their services are under 5 dollars a month for a reason.
Another type of shared host to avoid is a reseller. In
today’s market literally anyone can have their own
reseller hosting company. Most resellers will not admit
to being a reseller clearly so be sure to research a
company before joining.
So if you’re looking to start your own web page
shared hosting is for you. It’s easy, affordable, and
just right for the beginner webmaster. Spend your time
improving your web site(s), not managing your on your
server
