Shared Hosting - Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is shared hosting?
A
In a shared hosting environment multiple web sites are served through a single server. Shared hosting is the most common method of hosting sites for small-to-medium size users with light to moderate Web traffic. A shared hosting provider is also known as the Web or Internet space provider, and the service simply known as hosting.

Q What are the advantages of shared hosting?
A
Shared hosting is inexpensive. This is because a single server is shared by multiple customers and the cost is split between them.


Q What are the disadvantages of shared hosting?
A
Since you are on a server with multiple customers, what they do effects your account as well. If another customer runs a script that causes the server large amounts of load and slows it down, your sites will be slow as well. Shared hosting also has limitations on what software is installed on your server.
