Shared Web Hosting

Shared web hosting is a the easiest and cheapest form of hosting a web site. With the plans offered by some of the top web hosting companies listed here you can have your site up and running in as little as an hour or even less time. Shared web hosting usually has a faster set up time than a dedicated server and offers most of the benefits of having your own dedicated server.

Most of these shared web hosting plans are fully ready for your own Blog, Forum, Web photo gallery, or even an E-Commerce website. With an easy to set up installer (most of these plans have them) that can install these programs on your website in less than a minute you can have a fully functioning website up and ready in a few hours. Some of these hosting companies even have step-by-step guides or how-to videos showing you how to set up and run your website.

Be sure to bookmark our website since we have important video tutorials and step-by-step guides covering everything from website migration (from your old web host to your new one) to setting up a wordpress blog and much more.

Shared web hosting reviews are reviews of a specific product offering from a hosting provider. Why is Shared web hosting so cheap? Well because hosting providers can place a large number of clients all on the same web server which saves them a lot of overhead. It is not uncommon to find a server with hundreds if not thousands of web sites running off of it. Since all of the sites use the same resources such as PHP and Apache it is very common practice not to allow administrator level access to a shared web hosting account and if you are running a standard web site without any custom applications this should not be an issue; however if you need to run any specific software applications that require special privileges or custom settings you may have to upgrade to a VPS (Virtual private server) or even a dedicated server. This page has web hosting reviews of shared web hosts.
