Shared hosting is a web hosting service where multiple websites share the resources of a single physical server. It’s a cost-effective solution ideal for small websites or businesses with low to moderate traffic.

• Beginners launching their first website.
• Small businesses or personal blogs.
• Websites with low resource and traffic requirements.

• Affordable: Lower cost compared to other hosting types.
• Easy to Use: No technical skills needed; providers handle server management.
• Pre-Configured Tools: Includes website builders, email hosting, and one-click software installations.

• Resources like CPU and RAM are shared among users, which may affect performance during high traffic.
• Limited administrative control and customization options compared to VPS or dedicated hosting.

• Shared hosting includes basic security measures such as firewalls and malware scanning.
• However, because resources are shared, a security issue on one site may potentially affect others.

• Shared hosting is generally reliable for small to medium websites, with uptime guarantees often exceeding 99%.
• Performance may vary during peak usage due to shared resources.
