Shared web hosting is a website hosting service that allows multiple websites to use the same server.

You may be wondering why anyone would do that. The answer is simple: lower costs.

A server can host more than one website. By using server resources across different users, the costs of maintaining the server are significantly reduced.

Before we dive into more details about shared web hosting, let’s first see how servers and hosting actually work.

How does a web hosting server work?

Put simply, every time you enter a URL into your browser, it tries to find the server where the requested website is stored or “hosted”. Once the browser locates the server, it sends an HTTP request to it, and in return receives data that is displayed as a web page.

With shared web hosting, the process described above is almost identical. The only difference is that one server is responsible for hosting the data for multiple websites.

Think of shared web hosting as a train with multiple carriages. The carriages are the websites, and the train itself is the server.

Although you are on the same train, your journey is different from that of the other passengers. What you share is the same locomotive that gets you to your destination, but you still have the flexibility and freedom to enjoy a unique journey and experience.

Shared web hosting is the most economical option among all web hosting solutions, which is why it is also preferred by the largest number of users.

Who is shared web hosting intended for?

This type of hosting is ideal for blogs, corporate websites, informational websites, beginners in website development, WordPress users, and online stores that are just starting to build their online presence. Sharing a server means that your website is still not at the stage where it serves a large number of visitors, hosts videos, or requires huge monthly traffic.

What are the benefits of shared hosting?

Shared hosting is one of the most popular solutions in the Zemi.mk offer. Of course, there is a good reason for that.

Let’s look at some of the benefits that make shared web hosting a favorite among users.

An economical solution.

No one wants to invest a lot of money in building their website, blog, or online store. Shared web hosting allows you to get the hosting service you need for only a fraction of the price you would pay for hosting on a dedicated server, because other users also contribute to the server maintenance costs.

Easy to use, with no prior experience required.

Hosting a website when you have no previous experience can sound like a difficult task. Shared web hosting is created to simplify both the setup and management of your website data.

Once you purchase one of the basic web hosting packages from Zemi.mk, you get access to your “cPanel”, a web-based control panel considered one of the most intuitive and easy to use. Through it, you can manage almost every aspect of your online presence, from creating and checking your business email address to managing your .mk domain.
