How to Begin With Shared Web Hosting
If you want to use shared web hosting, the next step is to find a provider that meets your needs and upload your site to their servers. Whether you’re using web hosting for the first time or switching from an existing plan, you should be able to get started quickly and easily by following the setup instructions provided by your provider. While the specifics may differ from one provider to the next, the process will be largely the same regardless of the platform you use.

SiteGround has gone down from when I first started with them. Their support staff is still friendly and helpful but HOW you access them is now horrible. It used to be that one could open a ticket and then go on about your business. That was Nirvana!Now you have to dodge a phalanx of questions just to get to the two options of "chat" and "telephone", neither of which give you the freedom to communicate asynchronously! Their Site Tools is a pain in the rear (give me cPanel ANY DAY!). Every link is javascript so you can't easily open up new tabs by dragging the link - again, making it less flexible and convenient to work with. Collaborators is a nice feature but you can't help users with their email nor with domain transfers. All of this would be tolerated if they were not so SLOW (and expensive)!!! TTFB is horrible.
