Frequently Asked Questions about Shared Hosting

What is Shared Web Hosting?

Shared Web Hosting is a perfect place to start your web hosting. It is the most affordable option and has many features to help you build and manage a website.

Our Shared Web Hosting servers come with SSD's (Solid State Drives). They are ideal if you need fast, secure, and affordable web hosting for your portfolio, personal site, or small business website.

When you get started with any of our Shared Web Hosting plans, your website will live on a server with other websites. You will receive your own cPanel account and a dedicated IP address. You also have the option to add cloud backups and our monitoring service to your account.

With solid uptime, multiple plans to choose from, and all server maintenance performed by Hostwinds Systems Administrators, Shared Web Hosting is an excellent choice for many different types of websites.

Do I need to have any technical experience or knowledge to get started with a Shared Web Hosting plan?

Technical knowledge is not required to use Shared Web Hosting. As soon as you order your service, we will send you your login details in addition to information about beginning your web hosting journey.

We also offer you 24/7/365 support through Live Chat or ticket to ensure we answer any questions you have along the way.

Once you receive your cPanel login details, you can begin managing all aspects of your website.

This includes the ability to use the Weebly drag-and-drop Website Builder, install WordPress with a few clicks using Softaculous Apps Installer, or begin setting up your email accounts.

You are welcome to send and receive emails from Webmail (in the browser) or another Email Client such as Outlook or Thunderbird.

You can also upload your files from your computer using FTP with an FTP Client such as FileZilla.

Can I upgrade my package later?

You can always upgrade your package through your Hostwinds Client Area. Upgrading is a quick process, and there is no downtime.

If you register more domains or need to use your account to host more websites, upgrading your package to Advanced or Ultimate web hosting can be done in a few clicks.

Once you have upgraded your plan and paid the invoice, you can begin adding more domains immediately.
