What is Shared Hosting?

Do you have a website and are tired of looking for free hosting services, but don’t have the budget for something more expensive? We understand how you feel. Fortunately, the solution is quite simple! All you need is a web hosting solution.

What is Web Hosting?

What exactly is web hosting? Do you share your hosting data with someone else? This is the initial thought when one hears the term, but that’s not the case. Your data is completely secure in its own account, it’s just that your account resides on a shared hosting server along with other users. This allows your hosting provider to offer you a lower price without sacrificing the quality of the web hosting service, as each account is allocated a certain amount of resources on the shared server.

Choosing Your Hosting Provider

When searching for a web hosting provider, price isn’t the only factor you should consider. Check if the hosting provider offers daily backups, access to a hosting Control Panel interface, and information about their data centers. Is there 24/7 tech support? Review the response times if they provide live chat or phone support, and observe how your queries are addressed to gauge their professionalism. The availability of 24/7 support is crucial, as it ensures someone is always monitoring the services and any issues that arise will be addressed immediately.

Don’t Be Lazy!

Does this seem like too much work? Don’t be lazy! Even if you're looking for a budget-friendly hosting plan, that doesn’t mean it has to be of poor quality. At The Blog Host, we offer data centers across three continents: the UK, Australia, and North America. We provide detailed descriptions of our data centers on our site, along with pictures of both the exterior and interior. Our live chat support team has been extremely helpful and courteous, answering my questions promptly and clearly. We offer round-the-clock tech support through our helpdesk ticket system integrated into the hosting Control Panel interface.

We also offer much more with our web hosting plans – affordable domain name registration, monthly and yearly billing options, a free PHP-driven script installer, a free website builder, and email services. Managing your website files, databases, domain names, and email accounts is far easier than with any other hosting Control Panel interface.
