Shared Hosting: what it is and how it compares to Cloud Hosting

myPandos Shared Hosting is a managed website hosting account on our Plesk control panel. Your website shares a server with other customers' sites, which keeps it affordable — and myPandos looks after the server itself, so there's no operating system or server software for you to administer.

What's included

• The Plesk control panel — websites, files, databases, and SSL in one place.
• Email hosting for your domain, managed from your myPandos Dashboard.
• A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain.
• The One-Click App Installer, including WordPress and other applications.
• A weekly backup of your hosting account as standard.
• 24/7 support.

Shared Hosting vs Cloud Hosting/VPS

• Shared Hosting: myPandos manages the server; you manage your site through Plesk. No root access, and none needed. Best for standard websites, blogs, and small business sites.
• Cloud Hosting/VPS: you get full root access and manage the server yourself. Best for custom applications or when you need more control than a managed panel allows.

If you're specifically building a WordPress site, our WordPress Hosting product runs on the same Plesk platform with WordPress tools ready from day one.
