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 Shared hosting (/host_shared/vhosts) to see the Shared hosting list. Click Manage on a hosting account to open its management page.

#Plans

At the time of writing the following plans are offered (see the purchase page for current details):

Every plan supports PHP and SSL certificates.

#Getting a hosting account

3. Click Add to cart and pay under Billing → Cart.
4. Once payment is confirmed, the hosting account and its database are created automatically. The system generates the account name, which is also your database username.
