FAQs

What is shared web hosting?

Shared Web Hosting is the key allowing multiple users to share space on a single server. This cost-effective web hosting option is ideal for small to medium websites. It is a very popular hosting option because it provides an affordable way to get your website online.

What are some benefits of web hosting?

Web hosting with Open Street provides a secure, accessible space for your website to live online. Benefits include increased site performance, reliability, and security.

When you purchase an Open Street Web Hosting package, it also includes SSL certificates, ecommerce tools, and expert support.

What is "shared" in shared web hosting?

Shared web hosting allows multiple websites to share space on a single server. This means that the server’s resources (RAM, CPU, etc.) are shared among all the websites hosted on that server.

You can also strengthen your site's security by adding-on like Open Street’s SiteLock and CodeGuard to better defend against digital threats.

How much traffic can web hosting handle?
