Shared Hosting Plans Explained

Shared hosting is the most affordable way to get a website online — your site runs alongside others on the same server, sharing resources but keeping fully separate files, databases and email. Here's what actually changes as you move up Hoststack's shared hosting tiers.

What every tier includes

• Free cPanel or DirectAdmin control panel access
• Free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) on every domain
• Daily automated backups and Mumbai data center hosting
• One-click WordPress and app installers
• GST invoices and 24/7 support via ticket, WhatsApp or Discord

What actually changes between tiers

The core feature set is identical across all our shared plans — what changes is capacity. Higher tiers give you more SSD storage, higher monthly bandwidth allowance, more hosted domains/subdomains on one account, more email accounts and mailbox storage, and more concurrent database connections for busier sites. Entry plans are built for a single brochure site or blog; higher tiers suit small stores, multiple client sites, or sites with growing traffic.

Signs you should upgrade a tier

• You're regularly getting disk space or bandwidth warning emails
• You want to host more than one or two sites on the same account
• Your site's traffic has grown noticeably in the last few months
• You need more than the mailbox count on your current plan

When to move off shared hosting entirely

If your site regularly experiences slowdowns during traffic spikes, needs custom server software, or handles sensitive transactions at real scale, a VPS or VDS gives you dedicated resources instead of a shared pool. Upgrading between shared tiers is instant from the client area; moving to VPS is a bigger step we're happy to talk through with you first.
