Shared Hosting has emerged as the much preferred choice for millions of individuals and small businesses wanting to successfully host their website with minimum hassle.
Shared Web Hosting is a great way to start as it allows you to keep the costs very low and is ideal for personal use, hobbies or small businesses. In the case of Shared Hosting your server space and other resources are shared with other users. To do this, the hosting company gives each user a partition of the hard drive.
The provider is generally responsible for managing servers, installing server software, security updates, technical support, and other aspects of the service. Your site will usually be on a server with hundreds of other web sites. That may sound like a lot, but it works out extremely well because most sites don’t generate enough traffic or use enough resources for it to become a problem.
Shared hosting will allow you to host multiple websites, depending on the plan you purchase. This will be done simply by adding secondary domains through your hosting control panel.
