Shared hosting, business shared hosting, and business hosting all refer to the same product. That product being a hosting account on a shared server that allows for the easy setup of a quick web presence. A business shared hosting account is also perfect for small to medium-size businesses and individuals with smaller websites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Shared Hosting Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to business hosting or business shared hosting, there are other plans and services that fall under the general shared hosting umbrella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users who have decided to use WordPress to create their website can opt for a <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/wordpress-hosting\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Hosting<\/a> plan. The WordPress Hosting plan provides the user with space on a server that has been optimized for high performance and security for WordPress. For more advanced users, there are also <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/reseller-hosting\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reseller Hosting<\/a> plans, that allow the reselling and managing of hosting space to others. Both the WordPress and Reseller hosting plans are shared hosting plans as they still require users to share server space and resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most users, as they begin their digital journey, a Business Shared Hosting account is a perfect start. Without the need to apply advanced configurations or settings, you can launch a website quickly and easily. Also, as the business or website grows, you can always upgrade your hosting plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get a Business <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/shared-hosting\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shared Hosting<\/a> account today online, or contact our live sales team either by phone (<em>888-321-4678<\/em> (continental US only) <em>+1-757-416-6575<\/em> (international)) or by our Sales Chat.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking for a great Shared Hosting plan and are researching hosting providers and services, you\u2019ve probably noticed shared hosting being referred to as both business hosting and shared hosting.
