GOOD TO KNOW
What to know about GLWS Shared hosting.
The decisions that matter before you pick a size.
Focus on the website
You work inside a hosting account instead of administering a whole server. Use the dashboard for files, databases and email.
Keep test and live apart
Try changes away from your working site, and back up before you update software.
Moving a site?
List your files, databases, email and DNS first. Test the new site before you change records, and keep the old backup.
Keep your own backups
Do not treat your host as your only copy. Test restoring from an independent backup.
Watch your limits
Check storage, transfer and website allowances as you grow, and review combined usage before adding another site.
Use the least access you need
Give people only the access they need for website maintenance and client work.
MANAGEMENT

Everything for your sites lives in one account.

GLWS Shared hosting questions.
Quick answers before you choose a plan.
Do shared plans include root access?
No. Shared hosting gives you account-level access within a managed environment. Choose a VPS if you need to configure the system itself.
Will every website application work?
Check your application's runtime, database and extension requirements first. A hosting account is not an unrestricted server.
How should I choose a size?
List the application, database and background processes you will run. Estimate memory and storage together, then leave headroom for updates, logs and busy periods.
How do I configure a plan?
Pick a plan to open the configurator, then choose your operating system, location and billing period and continue to the review step. You can change any choice before you continue.
Where can I learn the basics?
Visit the Linux knowledge base for practical guides on SSH, updates, firewalls, services and backups.
