What Indeed is Shared Hosting?

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

What Is Shared Hosting?

Over the years, the need for web hosting services has expanded immensely, but customers also want affordable prices. The service hosting suppliers have conceived is called shared hosting. These web hosting distributors host a lot of customers on the very same web hosting server, ensuring that they do not interfere with each other by setting limitations on the resources each shared account is permitted to avail of. This allows for both good performance and lower maintenance costs as compared to a dedicated server, which is utilized by only a single user, and allows web hosting service providers to offer cheap prices to their customers.

What can you accomplish with a shared hosting account?

The shared hosting accounts normally offer diverse website, email and database management features - a web hosting CP, a File Manager interface, a File Transfer Protocol software client, a phpMyAdmin interface, and usually webmail - to access your e-mail accounts. At Rick Hosting, we provide all these features at affordable prices. We offer both monthly and annual invoicing options and also provide a cheap domain registration with each of our shared hosting plans. You can also manage everything from one location with us - our intuitive web hosting CP includes all the functions you need to handle your web site files, Domain Name System records, register and renew more domains, set up email accounts and mailbox aliases, activate e-mail forwarding and auto-configure your email software client. How many domains you can accommodate in your web hosting account is dependent on the hosting plan you have, but traffic and hard disk space are unmetered - you are solely restricted in terms of the central processing unit utilization and the amount of hosted domains.

Backup

Apart from all the traditional features, it is very important when the hosting supplier guarantees that your hosting data is defended. That is why the availability of daily backups is essential and you should find out in advance if the host of your preference is offering such. We offer everyday backups and retains backups for the last week. The backup encompasses your web files and databases and to have it retrieved, you have to contact our technical support team. They respond in less than one hour, so if you deleted those web site files unintentionally - do not be scared, there's still hope!
