Shared Hosting Providers
Japanese shared hosting providers host many customer websites on the same server, which keeps monthly fees low. Plans include the basics most sites need: PHP, MySQL databases, custom domains, email accounts, and free SSL certificates. They suit personal blogs, portfolios, and small business sites.
Providers compete on speed, ease of installing WordPress, and what comes included in the base price. Beginners can launch a site quickly and upgrade later if traffic grows.
