Web hosting is the storage space you need to save the files of your website (photos, videos, text, code, etc.), so they can be accessible on the Internet. Some compare web hosting to the land that a house is built on; with shared hosting, your service provider (i.e., the web host) sells or leases you space (land) on a server, where your web files (home/website) will be stored. Web hosts will expect you to own a domain that can be associated with your hosting services, and, if needed, they may help you purchase a domain.

Once you purchase a web hosting plan, we store your site on our servers and assign it a unique DNS. The DNS is the address that allows people around the world to access your website. This unique address is required for people to view your site.

By purchasing a (shared hosting) website hosting package as shown on this page, you’re buying space on our servers. It’s like the space on the hard drive of a computer, and it being on our servers makes your website files accessible from anywhere.

Shared hosting is a popular hosting option where a provider hosts multiple websites on one physical web server. And because you’re sharing resources — like neighbors in an apartment building — you spend less but have fewer options and less control. Shared hosting is typically for websites which require low resources (e.g., blogs, informational websites or smaller online stores). If your site is more resource intensive, or you need more control of your server, options like VPS may be best for your hosting needs.

When you select your Web Hosting plan of choice, your free SSL certificate is automatically added to your cart. Once you continue to cart, you will have the option to search for a domain to include in your purchase. You can also search for an available domain on our domains page and add it to the cart from there.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to include the domain in your cart before you complete the purchase of your Web Hosting plan.
