Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites are hosted on a single server. Each website has its own partition or directory on the server, but they all share the server’s resources such as CPU, memory, and disk space. It’s an affordable option for individuals and small businesses because the cost of server maintenance is spread across all users.

• Cost-effective: Shared hosting plans are usually the cheapest option available, making it ideal for those on a budget.
• Easy to manage: The hosting provider takes care of server maintenance tasks, such as hardware upgrades, security patches, and software updates.
• User-friendly: Shared hosting typically comes with a user-friendly control panel, like cPanel or Plesk, which makes it easy to manage your website, email accounts, databases, and other features.
• Scalability: While shared hosting may have limitations in terms of resources compared to other types of hosting, most providers offer scalable plans that allow you to upgrade as your website grows.

• Performance issues: Since resources are shared among multiple users, if one website experiences a surge in traffic or consumes too many resources, it can affect the performance of other websites on the same server.
• Limited customization: With shared hosting, you have limited control over server settings and configurations compared to dedicated or VPS hosting.
• Security risks: Because multiple websites share the same server, if one website is compromised, it could potentially affect other websites on the server. However, reputable hosting providers like us implement security measures to mitigate these risks.

Shared hosting is suitable for small to medium-sized websites, personal blogs, portfolios, and small businesses with low to moderate traffic. If your website receives high traffic or requires more resources, you may need to consider other hosting options such as VPS (Virtual Private Server) or dedicated hosting for better performance and scalability.
