Shared hosting

With classic shared hosting you rent storage space and web-stack slots on a server the provider shares with dozens of other customers. Set up by default: web server, PHP versions with various extensions, one or more MariaDB/MySQL databases, a mail server and a management interface (cPanel, Plesk or proprietary). You add domains, upload files via FTP/SFTP and install CMS systems like WordPress with a few clicks. What you do not get: root access, your own system services, choice of OS version or guaranteed CPU shares. Shared hosting fits WordPress sites, small online shops, clubs or learning/test projects where configuration freedom matters less than a single-digit euro monthly price and a built-in support channel.
