cPanel is the user interface typically found in a web server that helps users to manage their allocation of  the shared server and their website.

The advantage of cPanel hosting is in its ease of use, allowing users to create and manage multiple websites using a variety of content management systems effortlessly.

To have the ability of hosting multiple websites from one single hosting account you will need to choose a web hosting company that offers hosting packages that state this specific feature.

Once you’ve found a service provider that does, you will have to select a domain for which the hosting account will be attached to.

Once you complete the setup of your hosting account, you will be given the DNS server information from your hosting service provider. With this DNS info you can change the DNS server settings to the DNS servers provided by your web host.

WordPress is a very commonly used in website creation and blog-building applications, these can be downloaded and installed onto your server using cPanel hosting.

As stated above, with shared web hosting, you share a common space on a server with other customers. This hosting is often the cheapest option and commonly chosen if you have budget constraints. Whilst performance is generally very good, there is the potential for it be overloaded if demand is high.

An alternative hosting package to shared hosting is business hosting, here you have more than just a slice of a server. This can be likened to renting a house in an apartment complex. Here you will have more space and more flexibility, but this comes with a higher price tag. With this form of web hosting, you’ll have more control over your space, however you are still using a shared server with other users.
