The entry tier, described honestly
Shared hosting is the right answer more often than the industry admits, and the wrong answer in a few specific cases. It is not on sale yet: here are both cases, what the plan will include, and what to use in the meantime.
- Status
- Coming soon
- SSL
- Free
- Backups
- Daily
- Admin
- Fully managed
Availability
Serverlys shared hosting is not available to order today, and we are not publishing a price or a launch date until both are real. Everything on this page describes the plan as we are building it. If it is what you need, tell us: requests are how we decide what the first plans include, and we will reply on the same ticket when it opens.
Is this the right tier for you?
We would rather lose the sale than sell you a plan that frustrates you in four months.
- A brochure site for a small business
- A portfolio, a CV site or a personal blog
- A WordPress site with a normal amount of traffic
- A landing page for a campaign
- A first site, where the honest answer is that you do not know the traffic yet
- A store taking orders through a busy season
- Anything that needs root access or a custom system package
- A site that has already been throttled somewhere else
- Background workers, queues or a long-running process
- Traffic that arrives in spikes rather than a trickle
If you recognised yourself here, cloud hosting is usually the next step, and a VPS if you need root.
One server, many accounts, everything run for you
A shared server hosts many customer accounts at once. Each account is walled off from the others, with its own files, databases and mailboxes, but they all draw on the same pool of CPU and memory. Per-account limits on CPU, memory and concurrent processes stop any one site from taking the whole machine. In return for sharing, you never touch the server: the operating system, web server, PHP and security patching are ours.
- Your account, walled offOther customers share capacity with you, not access to your files.
- A control panel, not a shellSites, email, databases and backups from one place.
- Limits you can seeUsage is shown in the panel, so headroom is never a guess.
What runs well on shared hosting
Sites that are read far more often than they change, with traffic that arrives as a steady trickle. Each comes with the one setting that matters most.
A WordPress brochure site
Five to twenty pages, a contact form and a blog. This is the workload shared hosting was designed around, and it runs it well.
Tip: Use a page cache. A cached page is served without running PHP, which is most of your headroom.
A portfolio or personal blog
Mostly images and text, updated a few times a month, read far more often than it is written.
Tip: Resize images before upload. Image weight, not the server, is what makes these sites slow.
A static HTML site
Hand-written or exported from a site builder or static generator: no database, no PHP, almost no load.
Tip: Static files are the cheapest thing to serve. This will run comfortably on the smallest plan.
A campaign landing page
One page and a form, live for weeks or months, often on its own subdomain.
Tip: If the campaign is a big launch or a TV spot, plan for the spike rather than the average.
Email at your own domain
hello@ and sales@ at your business name instead of a free webmail address, alongside the site.
Tip: Set SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so your mail lands in inboxes rather than spam.
A small catalogue or booking site
A few products, a booking form or a donation page with modest, steady orders.
Tip: Checkout pages cannot be cached. If orders grow or arrive in bursts, move up to cloud.
Nothing held back for a higher tier
Planned for launch. These are what every Serverlys plan includes today, and shared hosting is being built to the same list. Tiers differ in resources, not in what you are allowed to have.
Free SSL
Issued and renewed automatically.
Daily backups
Restore a whole site or a single file.
Free migration
Staged first, then cut over when you say.
Email
Mailboxes at your own domain.
One-click WordPress
Installed and tuned before you arrive.
Real support
One queue, every plan.
Fully managed, with one honest exception
On shared hosting the server is entirely ours to run. What stays yours is the website itself, and that is where most problems on any host begin.
| Task | Who does it |
|---|---|
| Server hardware, operating system and security patches | Serverlys |
| Web server, PHP and database server | Serverlys |
| Isolation between accounts on the server | Serverlys |
| SSL certificates issued and renewed | Serverlys |
| Daily backups taken | Serverlys |
| Choosing your PHP version from the supported list | You |
| WordPress plugins and themes, and keeping them updated | You |
| Strong passwords and who has access to the site | You |
| Your content, and what you upload | You |
Four signs a site has outgrown shared hosting
On any provider. None of them means you chose wrong at the start; they mean the site did well.
Slow at your busiest hour, fine at 3am
That is contention for CPU or PHP processes, not your code. More reserved resources fix it.
Usage warnings in your panel
Hitting a process or CPU limit regularly means the plan is too small, not that you did something wrong.
You started taking real orders
Checkout traffic is uncached by design. Revenue pages deserve headroom.
You need something installed
A system package, a Node or Python process, a background worker: that is a VPS question.
Shared or cloud hosting: what you can use today
Cloud hosting is on sale now. It runs the same sites with more memory and more room for traffic, and you manage it the same way, from a panel.
| Feature | Shared hosting Coming soon | Cloud hosting Available now |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Drawn from a shared pool | More memory per plan, more room for spikes |
| Best at | Brochure sites, blogs, portfolios | Growing sites, stores, agencies |
| Server administration | Done for you | Done for you |
| Managed from | A control panel | A control panel |
| Busy-day behaviour | Can slow when neighbours are busy | Built to absorb the spike |

Before you buy
The things people actually ask us, answered plainly.
Can I buy Serverlys shared hosting today?
Not yet. Shared hosting is coming soon, and we are not publishing a price or a launch date until both are real. Our cloud hosting is available now, is fully managed and runs the same kinds of sites. If you would rather wait for shared, open a ticket with our sales team and we will tell you when it opens.
What does 'shared' actually mean?
Your site runs on a server alongside other sites, and you share its CPU and memory. That is what makes it inexpensive. It also means a neighbour having a very busy day can affect you, which is the trade you are accepting at this tier.
Is my site safe from the other sites on the server?
Each account is kept separate: your files, databases and mailboxes belong to your account and other customers cannot read them. What you share is capacity, not access. Most compromises on any host come from an outdated plugin or a reused password, which is why keeping WordPress and its plugins updated matters more than the tier.
How much traffic can it take?
There is no honest single number, because it depends entirely on what your pages do. A cached WordPress brochure site behaves very differently from an uncached page that queries a database on every visit. What we plan is that your control panel shows your resource usage, so you can see headroom rather than guess at it.
Can I run WordPress and WooCommerce on shared hosting?
WordPress, yes: it is the most common thing shared hosting runs, and one-click installation is planned. A small WooCommerce shop with steady, modest orders can work too. A store with a busy season or a large catalogue is better on cloud hosting, because checkout pages cannot be cached and every order uses server resources.
Can I run Node.js or Python on shared hosting?
Plan on no. Shared hosting is built for PHP and static sites served by the web server, and it does not suit long-running processes, background workers or custom system packages. If your application needs any of those, it belongs on a VPS.
Will email at my own domain be included?
Mailboxes at your own domain are planned for shared hosting, as they are part of the hosting we sell today. Whichever host you use, publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your domain: without them, mail from a small business domain is far more likely to land in spam.
What happens if I outgrow it?
The plan is that you upgrade and the site moves with it. Nothing is rebuilt and nothing is re-uploaded. We would rather move you up early than have you find out at your busiest hour.
Is the SSL certificate really free?
Yes. Free SSL, issued and renewed automatically, is included on every Serverlys plan available today and is planned for this one too. Nobody should be charged for HTTPS in 2026.
Should I wait for shared hosting or start on cloud?
If you need a site live now, start on cloud hosting: it is available today, fully managed, and comfortably runs everything shared hosting would. If your site is small and price is the deciding factor, ask us to tell you when shared plans open. Either way, moving between Serverlys plans is not a rebuild.
Waiting for shared, or not sure which tier you need?
Tell us what the site does and roughly what traffic it gets. We will tell you the smallest plan that holds it today, and let you know when shared hosting opens.
