Web hosting is a service that hosts websites for clients on their servers. Web hosts often provide different server types and software, such as a website builder or easy CMS integration, to create sites to get online. So choosing a web hosting provider that caters to your particular needs and tech skillset is important. For example, the tools you get with Spaceship Web Hosting solutions make it easy to go through the process of domain registration, get online, and build your online presence. Your online presence is essential for your brand, and everything you do on the Internet makes all the difference to how your brand is represented.

We provide various reliable web hosting solutions tailored to different needs, including three shared hosting plans — Essential, Pro, and Supreme — as well as Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting — Starlight™ Virtual Machines. Select a plan based on your website’s specific requirements. Choosing a data center close to your target audience to optimize loading speeds can greatly enhance site performance. Our data centers for shared hosting are strategically located in the US, Asia, Europe, and the UK. For more control and flexibility, our VPS offers dedicated resources within a shared environment, delivering a balance of cost-effectiveness and high performance.

Considered the most affordable web hosting option, shared web hosting offers enough resources for any startup, local business, or personal website. Shared hosting is an entry-level type of web hosting where one physical server hosts multiple websites, and often hundreds of users. Since each user shares a section of an individual server to host their website files, keeping costs low is easy. Users share on-demand system resources and receive a percentage of databases, disk space, CPU, RAM, and FTP accounts. Other resources include the single MySQL server and LiteSpeed server.

The Hosting Manager for your Spaceship account is where you can manage everything connected to your hosting subscription and launch your website in no time. You can also upgrade or downgrade your plan easily, check resources, and add domains, SSL certificates, and mailboxes to your hosting account, among other things. For advanced features and setup, you can use cPanel, which comes with our shared hosting plans. In cPanel, you'll be able to build your website, upload and manage files and databases, and install scripts.

Yes. All our hosting plans support multiple websites. Here’s how it works:

• Essential plan – Host up to 5 domains or subdomains.
• Pro and Supreme plans – Host an unlimited number of domains and subdomains.

Regardless of your plan, you can create unlimited websites within your hosting subscription by uploading content to different folders in your account. Each folder functions as a separate website. If you start with the Essential plan, you can upgrade anytime to a higher plan in just a few clicks when you need more resources.

Yes, we enjoy all the advantages of cloud-based shared hosting. These include increased performance, distributed storage, greater reliability, and cloud architecture based on NVMe SSD storage disks. Designed to handle a variety of hardware and software-stack failures, Cloud storage reinforces your data with an extra layer of protection by distributing it across various servers. Featuring zero downtime and the highest performance, it provides you with the utmost stability.

Yes, with Spaceship Hosting Manager you can install WordPress in just a few clicks.

WordPress AI Tools integrates AI-powered tools into WordPress itself, maintaining full compatibility with WP plugins, themes, and WooCommerce. It’s a native site creation experience built entirely on core WordPress components. The builder includes: AI Launch, AI Site Assistant and Design Library. For more details, visit our guide.

On the other hand, Website Builder is a solution powered by SiteJet that combines a powerful low-code/no-code web builder with collaboration tools integrated into cPanel. It also features AI writing assistance, making it ideal for a seamless and efficient web-building experience without relying on WordPress.

Unfortunately, no. WordPress AI Tools is designed to work only with new WordPress installations. If you already have a WordPress site, you won’t be able to use the AI Launch or Site Assistant features. However, you can still install the plugin to browse the Design Library and get layout inspiration and guidance.

Each website is different and the amount of traffic they can handle will depend on the resources each visitor is using. A very efficiently coded website that uses a small amount of resources per visitor can allow a large number of visitors to visit the site at one time. But a poorly or inefficiently coded website may allow only a small number of visitors simultaneously. How many visitors your site can handle is largely determined by how your site is coded. Thanks to the cloud architecture our shared web hosting service is based on, the servers deliver high performance, high availability, and can sustain a large number of visitors.

Although there are some limitations, shared hosting for those starting an online store is an excellent choice. Large e-commerce businesses may find there are not enough applications available and access to server resources is limited. But for most businesses in e-commerce, shared hosting is more than enough to suit requirements.

Spaceship’s ​​secure web hosting is protected by a firewall and strong security features. Even so, we advise our customers to use secure usernames and passwords, regularly scan computers and websites, use a secured FTP connection, and keep website scripts, plugins, and themes versions up-to-date.

Both of these website builders for shared hosting are included at no extra cost with our Shared Hosting plans:

• All plans: Website Builder, powered by SiteJet, is available in cPanel.
• Pro & Supreme plans: WordPress AI Tools comes pre-installed with WordPress during the Unbox™ process.

Choose your preferred builder and start creating right away.

Spaceship provides secure hosting that can help protect against DDoS attacks on the server level to help keep your service running. Through low-level network protections and application-level protections, we track connections, limiting or blocking abusive ones via the following features:

• Rate limiting
• Blackholing

Hosting in our Singapore data center is included at no additional cost with all our shared hosting plans.

Migrating your website to Spaceship is quick, easy, and free during the Unbox™ process — no technical skills required. Simply upload your cPanel backup file (tar.gz or zip, up to 20GB), let the system check its compatibility, and restore your data. You will need to manually connect your domains in Hosting Manager. Just ensure your backup includes all essential website data, files, and databases. Emails must be migrated separately after setting up accounts in Spacemail, and SSL keys need manual installation, though you get free SSLs with shared hosting. Only MySQL and MariaDB databases are supported for migration. A stable internet connection is recommended for a smooth process.

We offer 24/7 support to assist you whenever you need help. Our dedicated support team can address inquiries within their scope of expertise and access. Additionally, our AI assistant, Alf, is also available and continuously improving to provide even better assistance over time.
