Buying a shared hosting account is like having your own server without
the hassle of having to manage it.
A Shared server offers you the following extra facilities over most ISP's
free webspace.
- The ability to set up extra email accounts for other users (each user
could have their own POP3 mailbox, no more sharing!)
- Set up mailing lists.
- Have an email accout autorespond (ie I'm out of the office now!).
- Spam filtering
- Install and run your own scripts (as well as those provided free)
- Use databases
- Have parts of you site protected (visitors need a username and password)
- Have detailed statistics on who is visiting your site.
- Have your own error pages.
- All the features controlled from your own control panel
- Have your own subdomains. (eg mychild.mydomain.com).
