Getting Started with Linux Shared Hosting
This guide assists you in getting your Web site up and running quickly. Along the way, we also pass on some general hosting information that you can use to impress your friends.
Your shared hosting account resides on a server along with other accounts. The server’s resources are shared across these accounts, hence the term shared hosting. This is in contrast to dedicated hosting, which allows a single account to exclusively use one server. A major benefit to having a shared hosting account is that we take care of your server security, backup, and maintenance.
