What is Shared Web Hosting? Well that's a good question, basically when you purchase a domain name such as example: cbhosting.net , that is all that is, nothing more then a domain name that you now own and in order to view a web site by visiting www.cbhosting.net for example then you need to have hard disc space on a server somewhere that can host your content for your website. Thats where shared web hosting comes into play. SO you as a customer would register yourowndomain.com for example then aim your name servers for that domain to cbhosting.net nameservers when you purchase shared hosting services from cbhosting.net. then we would setup a cpanel account with login info to access our webserver to upload content, manage your website, manage email accounts, and much much more. It is called shared web hosting because there could be many other users with there own accounts all on 1 server sharing its resources to host many different web sites.
