It also contains step-by-step instructions on how to properly install a Magento CMS on a shared hosting server.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is Magento?<\/h2>\n<p>Magento is an open-source platform developed in PHP and used for building and managing <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-an-ecommerce-website\/\">e-commerce websites<\/a>. The software is known to offer a great set of tools and features, such as full website management control, catalog and product browsing, search engine optimization, support for multiple payment gateways, marketing analysis tools and many more. To get an in-depth look at the full feature set, please visit the official <a href=\"https:\/\/info2.magento.com\/rs\/magentosoftware\/images\/Magento_Feature_List.pdf\">Magento Feature List<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>Magento is available in two distinct versions &#8211; Magento 1 and Magento 2. In this article, we&#8217;re going to review the most recent one, which was released and made publicly available in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is Magento 2 Compatible With Your Shared Hosting?<\/h2>\n<p>Most Magento users would say that the software is system-intensive and resource-consuming and that it requires a <a href=\"\/web-hosting\/vps-cloud-hosting\/\">cloud hosting<\/a> service in order to run and function properly. Although we could not disagree with their opinion, there was still one question that was bothering us for a long time:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would it be possible to run a Magento CMS on a shared hosting plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to find out, we decided to perform a quick test, by manually installing Magento 2 on one of our <a href=\"\/web-hosting\/shared-hosting\/\">shared hosting<\/a> servers. We must say &#8211; our test produced a really positive outcome.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Steps to Install Magento 2?<\/h2>\n<p>The process of installing Magento 2 is easy to follow and requires absolutely no coding or programming skills. To install and configure a Magento 2 CMS on your shared hosting account, please follow the steps that we have outlined below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Preparing the server for the installation<\/h3>\n<p>In order to make Magento 2 work under a shared hosting account, you would be required to make certain modifications to the main <strong>PHP.ini<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and sign in to your AwardSpace account. Once in the dashboard, navigate to the <strong>PHP Settings<\/strong> page. Click <strong>here<\/strong> to enter the PHP.ini editor.<\/p>\n<p>Set the max memory limit value to 1024M and enable the following three PHP extensions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>extension=intl.so<\/li>\n<li>extension=soap.so<\/li>\n<li>extension=xsl.so<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To enable a PHP extension, simply uncomment the corresponding line by removing the semicolon (;) next to the module. Finally, press Save to confirm the submitted changes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Setting up a new MySQL database on the server<\/h3>\n<p>While being logged in to your account, open a new tab in your favorite Internet browser and go to the <strong>Database Manager<\/strong>. Choose an appropriate name and password for your database and press <strong>Create Database<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the first time when you manually register a database in your account and are not quite sure how to proceed, please review our step-by-step <a href=\"\/kb\/database-manager\/\">Database Manager<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Downloading the software package<\/h3>\n<p>The next step in the process of installing Magento is to choose and download an installation package. The latest release is 2.3.0 and can be obtained from the official <a href=\"https:\/\/magento.com\/tech-resources\/download\">Download<\/a> source.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: You must register for a free account before you are able to download a copy of the free Magento community edition.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up for an account, visit Magento&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/account.magento.com\/customer\/account\/create\/\">Create an Account<\/a> page in a browser and fill in the required fields. Once your free account has been confirmed and validated, you will be allowed to get a copy of the desired installation package.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Uploading the installation files to the hosting space<\/h3>\n<p>After you have downloaded the installation package to your computer, you will need to extract the archive on your local computer (server) and then upload its contents to your domain&#8217;s main directory.<\/p>\n<p>To upload your data, launch your favorite FTP software and <a href=\"\/kb\/ftp-connection-settings\/\">connect to your server via FTP<\/a>. A typical Magento installation package contains 100-150MB, so please be patient while your files are being transferred to your hosting space.<\/p>\n<p>When you receive a confirmation that your upload has been successful and that your installation files are on the server, please proceed to the final step.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Completing the installation<\/h3>\n<p>Run the Magento installation script in a web browser. This should be the URL where you&#8217;ve uploaded your files (e.g. .<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"magento2 shared hosting\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/magento2-shared-hosting-3.png\" data-featherlight=\"image\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15434 aw-border-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/magento2-shared-hosting-3.png\" alt=\"how to run magento 2 on a shared hosting plan 3\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Magento will check your current server configuration.
