Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites run on the same server, with each account allocated its own dedicated portion of the server's resources. Because the cost of the hardware is spread across many customers, it's the most affordable way to host a website, and the host handles all server maintenance, security patching, and management for you. NixiHost shared hosting starts at $4.99/month and runs on company-operated servers in Texas.

When you sign up, your account is created on one of our servers with guaranteed allocations of CPU, RAM, and SSD storage, enforced by CloudLinux so other accounts on the server can't slow your site down. You manage everything through cPanel, and if your site outgrows its plan, you can upgrade instantly through our customer portal with no downtime or migration required.

Shared hosting is fully managed: NixiHost maintains the server, applies security updates, and handles the technical administration, so you only manage your website through cPanel. A VPS (virtual private server) gives you root access and full control over your own server environment, but you're responsible for configuring, securing, and maintaining it yourself. Shared hosting is the right fit for most blogs, business sites, and stores; a VPS makes sense when you need custom server software or full administrative control and have the Linux experience to manage it.

Shared hosting gives you professional infrastructure at the lowest cost of any hosting type, with no server management required on your end. Every NixiHost shared plan includes cPanel, one-click WordPress installation, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, free SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt, Imunify360 malware protection, daily JetBackup backups with self-service restores, and free cPanel migration from your current host.

Choose a plan, complete checkout, and your hosting account is activated instantly. From there you can install WordPress or over 300 other applications with one click through cPanel, or contact our team for a free migration if you're moving an existing site from another cPanel-based host. Most customers have a site live the same day.

Shared hosting fits most websites: personal blogs, portfolios, small business sites, nonprofits, and online stores. It requires no technical expertise, since NixiHost manages the server, and it's the most cost-effective option for sites that don't need custom server configurations. If your site later needs more power, you can upgrade to a larger shared plan instantly or migrate to our Semi-Dedicated or dedicated hosting.

Yes. NixiHost migrates websites from other hosts for free, and because we run on cPanel, transfers from cPanel-based hosts like HostGator, Bluehost, GoDaddy, A2 Hosting, and InMotion move your complete account: website files, databases, email accounts, and settings as-is. Our Texas-based team handles the transfer for you, and most migrations complete with no downtime. Sites on non-cPanel hosts can be migrated too; contact us and we'll discuss your options.

Yes. Every NixiHost shared hosting plan includes email accounts at your domain (like you@yoursite.com) at no extra cost. You can create mailboxes and forwarders through cPanel, check mail from any browser using webmail, or connect your accounts to Outlook, Apple Mail, or your phone via IMAP or POP3. There's no separate email hosting fee, unlike hosts that charge for email as an add-on.

Yes. All NixiHost shared plans support WordPress and include a one-click installer through cPanel, so you can have a WordPress site running in minutes. Plans include free SSL, daily backups, and Imunify360 security, which covers the essentials most WordPress sites need.
