# Shared Hosting

> DirectAdmin-based hosting for websites, WordPress, business email, and managed web workloads.

Shared Hosting is the simplest KmerHosting path for websites that do not require server administration. It is designed around a DirectAdmin environment and is suitable for company sites, portfolios, blogs, WordPress, landing pages, and light e-commerce.

## Included operational model

* DirectAdmin control-panel access.
* Website and domain management through the shared hosting environment.
* At least five professional email accounts per Shared Hosting subscription in the current platform presentation.
* Free SSL through Let’s Encrypt for associated domains.
* A domain may be included with qualifying plans according to the active pricing offer.
* Bandwidth and resource limits are defined by the selected plan and current price book.

## Choose Shared Hosting when

* The main workload is a website rather than a custom server application.
* The project benefits from a control panel and web file manager.
* The user does not need root access.
* Email accounts and a simple web stack are more important than operating-system control.

## Do not choose it when

Use Tiny VPS or VPS Hosting for long-running Node.js workers, custom system packages, Docker-heavy deployments, private network services, or workloads that require root access.
