Affordable shared web hosting with cPanel/Plesk, free SSL and one-click installers.
The rankings are warming up.
Shared web hosting splits a physical server across N customers, each isolated by cPanel/Plesk account. Ideal for showcase sites, personal blogs, small portfolios. Expect 3-15 €/month for 5-100 GB of space, multiple domains, free SSL certificates, MySQL databases and one-click installers (WordPress, PrestaShop, Joomla). Drawback: if a neighbour saturates resources, your performance suffers (noisy neighbour). Good for < 10k visitors/month.
Shared hosting works fine up to ~10,000 visitors/month. Beyond that, or with heavy plugins, a managed VPS brings performance and stability. For e-commerce shops, a dedicated VPS is recommended from day one.
Managed WordPress (Kinsta, WP Engine, o2switch) costs more but bundles optimised caching, automatic updates, staging and backups - you save time and reduce risk. Worth it as soon as the site is business-critical.
WordPress is the most flexible with a huge ecosystem. Webflow excels at design with integrated hosting. Wix and Squarespace are the simplest but most limited. Pick based on the flexibility/simplicity trade-off you need.
