From all web hosting services, shared hosting is the cheapest and the most popular hosting service. Shared web hosting allows many users to share single server. It is the simplest way for you to have a website for few dollars monthly. Today many hosting providers offer many features on single shared hosting account (PHP , MySQL databases including Remote MySQL, FTP accounts, add domains, Perl, Rails etc), control panel to make it simpler to you to manage files (File Manager), setup databases (add new users, create databases), create FTP accounts (setup quotas and permissions), check server status, install web scripts (wordpress blogs, joomla cms, drupal, galleries). Most popular control panels in the shared hosting industry are: cPanel, Hsphere, DirectAdmin, Plesk and others. For operating system linux is the choice for shared hosting, though windows shared hosting is offered but is more expensive because of Windows OS licenses. In general, the client does not perform server configuration, install updates or other administration tasks, as this is done by the hosting company’s staff. So if you want to create a website or blog this is the choice for you.
