# Shared Hosting? You Still Deserve Proper Deployments.

Stop dragging files into FileZilla. DeployHQ connects your Git repository to your shared hosting account and deploys automatically over FTP or SFTP — every push, every time.

✓Works with any shared host

✓FTP, SFTP, and FTPS support

## Works With Any Shared Hosting Provider

If your hosting account supports FTP or SFTP (and they all do), DeployHQ can deploy to it. No need for SSH access, no server-side setup, no special requirements.

## What DeployHQ Does for Shared Hosting

📂

### Automatic FTP/SFTP Deployments

Push to your Git branch, DeployHQ transfers the changed files to your shared hosting account. No manual FTP sessions.

⚡

### Only Changed Files

DeployHQ tracks what changed in each commit and only transfers those files. No more uploading your entire site because you changed one CSS file.

### Build Before Deploy

Need to compile Sass, run npm run build, or process assets? DeployHQ's build pipelines handle it on our servers, then deploy only the compiled output.

📋

### Deployment History

Every deployment is logged — what changed, when, and who triggered it. Roll back to any previous state if something goes wrong.

## How It Works

1

### Connect Your Repository

2

### Add Your Hosting Details

Enter your shared hosting FTP/SFTP credentials and deployment path. Same details you'd use in any FTP client.

3

### Push and Deploy

Push code to your branch. DeployHQ identifies the changes, transfers the files, and logs the deployment. That's it.

WordPress

## Perfect for WordPress on Shared Hosting

Running WordPress on shared hosting is one of the most common setups in web development. DeployHQ makes it professional.

- Keep your WordPress theme and plugins in Git
- Deploy changes to your shared host automatically on push
- Run build steps (Sass compilation, asset minification) before deploying
- Never lose track of what changed — full version history
- Protect wp-config.php and uploads directory from being overwritten

## When to Upgrade to VPS

Shared hosting is a great starting point, but as your project grows you might need more control.

→You need SSH access for custom server configuration

→Traffic spikes are affecting performance

→You need zero-downtime deployments

→You want to run build steps on the server itself

DeployHQ works with both. When you're ready to move to a VPS, your deployment workflow stays the same — just update the server connection.

## You chose shared hosting to keep things simple. Your deployments should be simple too.
