What is shared hosting?
Shared hosting means your site lives on a server alongside other
customers, each in an isolated cPanel account. It's the most
affordable way to run WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, static HTML or
any PHP-based site — you get all the tools without paying for a
whole server.
What kind of sites can I host?
Anything that runs on PHP + MySQL — WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla,
Drupal, PrestaShop, Magento (light stores), Laravel apps, static
HTML sites, and 400+ apps available in Softaculous one-click
installers.
Can I transfer my existing site to AddinyHost?
Yes — we handle free cPanel-to-cPanel migrations, and free
WordPress migrations from most other hosts. Send us your existing
host details after checkout and our team moves your site with
minimal downtime.
How secure is shared hosting?
Every plan runs Imunify360 (real-time malware detection, WAF,
brute-force protection), free SSL, and isolated cPanel accounts —
so a compromise on one site can't reach another.
Do you offer automatic backups?
Yes — redundant JetBackup snapshots on every plan. Restore any
file, database, or the whole account from cPanel in one click.
When should I upgrade to VPS?
If you outgrow the resource limits, need root SSH, or want to run
long-running background workers (Celery, Node services, custom
daemons), it's time for a VPS. Your data migrates over cleanly.
Can international customers buy?
Yes — prices are shown in GH₵ but we accept international Visa and
Mastercard. Your bank charges you in your own currency at the cedi
equivalent.
