Shared web hosting saves you money by splitting the high cost of a high performance, dedicated web server with other accounts, providing high quality service for a low monthly fee. This is a great way to host your web site and does not require any experience with server administration. The majority of our hosting accounts use these Shared Hosting plans. The Signature series of plans provides a control panel and additional features for users who prefer to maintain their own e-mail boxes and other account settings.

For beginner plans and domain registration information, see our Domain Plans. To host multiple web sites on one account, or for other advanced features, see our Advanced Hosting or Windows plans.

The following table compares the features for our Shared Hosting plans. Our Add-Ons page includes additional capabilities and pricing. Sign up for a one-year contract and get one month free!
