Over the years, the demand for web hosting solutions has escalated vastly, but users also prefer inexpensive prices. The solution web hosting providers have developed is called shared hosting. These hosting corporations host many clients on one hosting server, ensuring that they do not interfere with each other by setting limits on the server resources each shared hosting account is allowed to avail of. This allows for both reliable performance and lower operational costs as compared to a dedicated server, which is used by just one single customer, and enables hosting providers to offer low prices to their customers.

What can you accomplish with a shared hosting account?

The shared hosting accounts traditionally come with diverse website, electronic mail and database administration features - a hosting CP, a File Manager interface, a File Transfer Protocol software client, a phpMyAdmin interface, and often webmail - to check your mailboxes. At Host4Up Web Services, we provide all these tools at inexpensive prices. We have both monthly and annual invoicing options and also provide a cheap domain name registration with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can also manage everything from one location with us - our easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel has all the functionalities you need to manage your files, DNS resource records, register and renew more domains, set up email box accounts and mailbox aliases, enable e-mail forwarding and auto-configure your email client software. How many domains you can accommodate in your account is determined by the hosting plan you have, but web traffic and server hard disk storage space are unmetered - you are solely restricted in terms of the CPU utilization and the number of hosted domain names.

Backup

Apart from all the customary features, it is very essential when the web hosting solutions provider makes sure that your web hosting content is guarded. So, the presence of daily backups is vital and you should establish in advance if the hosting company of your choice is offering such. We perform daily backups and keeps backups for the past 7 days. The backup comprises your files and databases and to have it recovered, you have to contact our technical support staff. They answer in less than an hour, so if you deleted those files by mistake - do not be frightened, hope still lives!
