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.
We’ll go over everything you need to know to find your first web host or a new provider to switch to in the following section. While we’ll go over some of the most important things to look for in a web hosting provider, our provider comparison is a great place to go for more information on specific platforms.


The service is just the Best. Period.

I've been building my own websites for several years now and am just intermediate at best. While Siteground is not the cheapest host out there, the services is amazing and I wouldn't be able to manage working my sites by myself with their stellar support. The chat is almost instant and they always resolve my issues so quickly that I feel stupid for spending hours trying to figure things out for myself. (I do it to try to learn so will continue to do it this way). My latest misadventure involved me knocking my site out by connected my DNS to cloudflare (without using it directly inside Siteground). They diagnosed the issue in 2 minutes and had me back up and running.
Thank you!

Once again, the Siteground chat helper, in this instance Dimitar P. came to the rescue and fixed my DNS Records issue, immediately! Thank you!
