Shared Hosting

Shared Hosting (virtual hosting) is for hosting PHP websites such as company sites, blogs and small business applications. Each hosting account includes web space, one MySQL database and a monthly traffic allowance. You can bind several domains to it and deploy an SSL certificate. Limits such as the number of cron jobs are enforced by the hosting server, and you'll see a message if you reach one.

In the left-hand menu of the console, open 主机 (Hosting) → 共享主机 (Shared Hosting) (/host_shared/vhosts) to see the 我的虚拟主机 (My virtual hosts) list. Click 管理 (Manage) on a hosting account to open its management page.

Every plan supports PHP and SSL certificates.

#Getting a hosting account

1. On the My virtual hosts page click 创建虚拟主机 (Create virtual host) to open the provisioning wizard.
2. Work through 选地区 (Region) → 选套餐 (Plan) → 配置 (Configure) → 确认 (Confirm). In the Configure step choose a billing cycle and enter the 主域名 (Primary domain) and an FTP 密码 (FTP password) of at least 8 characters.
3. Click 加入购物车 (Add to cart) and pay under 财务管理 (Billing) → 购物车 (Cart).
