Common questions

Shared hosting FAQs.

Need exact limits or help choosing a plan? Contact MediaRack with the website details and expected requirements.

What is shared web hosting?

Shared hosting places multiple customer websites within a managed server environment. It keeps costs and administration lower, making it suitable for many smaller websites with standard requirements.

Can I run WordPress on shared hosting?

WordPress can run on a compatible shared hosting plan. The appropriate service depends on the site’s traffic, plugins, storage, maintenance and performance requirements.

Does shared hosting include email?

Email availability and mailbox limits depend on the selected plan. MediaRack can also help route your domain to a dedicated business email platform when that is the better option.

Are backups included?

Backup coverage, frequency and retention depend on the hosting plan and management arrangement. Confirm the applicable backup and restoration options before relying on them for your website.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. If the site outgrows shared hosting, MediaRack can discuss moving it to WordPress hosting, a VPS, cloud infrastructure or another suitable environment.

Is shared hosting suitable for an online store?

A small store may operate on an appropriate shared plan, but eCommerce sites can require more performance, security and support. MediaRack should review the store requirements before recommending hosting.
