Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is a perfect platform if you have modest website needs. In particular, this means if you are just starting a website, have a small business website or just run a website as a hobby with minimal resource needs. Shared Web Hosting is also a popular option if you run a simple blog or forum. In short, Shared Hosting is ideal if you have small websites or are just getting started since it is a good learning environment to get your “ feet wet” with a minimal investment. Shared Hosting is also a popular option if you don't quite know what sort of resources you need yet. You'll be happy to learn that PovaHost Hosting customers never pay account upgrade fees. That means you can upgrade to a larger Shared Hosting account or even move into a VPS or a Dedicated Server if you discover more server resources are needed than what is included with your Shared Hosting account. Ofcourse, our 24/7/365 Support team is standing by in case you have any questions about which web hosting plan you should choose.

Advantages of Shared Web Hosting

At PovaHost, a key advantage of our Shared Web Hosting packages is obviously speed. However, the other pros of these plans include affordability and convenience. Our shared web hosting environment means we can offer reasonably priced web hosting plans because our customers are not only sharing server resources, but they are also spreading the cost of hardware, server maintenance, security updates and other costs among the other customers hosted on the server. As an A2 Hosting shared web hosting customer, you also do not have to worry about server uptime and technical support because that's our job. That's our expertise! Our Shared Web Hosting packages each come with large amounts of resources like disk space, data transfer and email accounts that are perfect for your personal and small business websites. These are just a few of the reasons why we offer the best web hosting for small businesses and personal sites.

Possible Disadvantage of Shared Hosting

Please note that each account on a shared server does not feature root access. Users looking for administrative level access to their server should consider using our SEO Hosting or VPS plans. Additionally, customers who have eCommerce sites or existing websites that receive a large number of visitors each month may want to use SEO Hosting as well. Otherwise, you'll discover that Povahost Shared Hosting is an excellent solution for your website.
