How Shared Website Hosting Functions

If you are seeking a modestly priced web hosting service, the service for you is called hosting.

What Is Hosting?

Over the years, the demand for website hosting solutions has increased hugely, but customers also want budget prices. The solution hosts have invented is called hosting. These web hosting providers accommodate plenty of customers on the very same web hosting server, making sure that they do not interfere with each other by placing limits on the server resources each hosting account is permitted to avail of. This allows for both satisfactory performance and lower operating costs as compared to a dedicated server, which is used by only one single client, and enables web hosting firms to offer attractive prices to their customers.

What can you accomplish with a hosting account?

The hosting accounts normally come with various web site, e-mail and database administration features - a hosting CP, a File Manager tool, a File Transfer Protocol software client, a phpMyAdmin tool, and often webmail - to check your electronic mail accounts. At iHosting, we provide all these features at modest rates. We have both monthly and annual invoicing options and also offer a cheap domain registration with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can also manage everything from a single place with us - our easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel includes all the tools you need to manage your web files, Domain Name System records, register and renew more domain names, set up electronic mail accounts and email aliases, activate e-mail forwarding and automatically configure your mail client. How many domain names you can accommodate in your shared web hosting account depends on the website hosting package you have, but web traffic and web hosting server disk space are unmetered - you are only restricted in terms of the central processing unit usage and the number of hosted domains.

Backup

Apart from all the standard features, it is extremely important when the hosting distributor makes sure that your hosting data is safe. So, the availability of day-to-day backups is obligatory and you should learn in advance if the hosting company of your choosing is offering such. We conduct daily backups and preserves backups for the last one week. The backup contains your files and databases and to have it restored, you have to speak with our tech support department. They respond in less than one hour, so if you deleted those website files by chance - do not come apart at the seams, hope is the last to die!
