What is Shared Hosting?
Shared hosting is a type of internet hosting service where multiple websites are hosted on a single physical server and share its resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage space.
It’s like living in an apartment building where multiple tenants share the same building infrastructure.
Each website has its own designated space on the server, but resources are distributed among all the websites hosted on it.
This makes shared hosting a cost-effective option, as the hosting provider divides the expenses among multiple users.
However, since resources are shared, performance may be affected if one website experiences high traffic or consumes excessive resources.
For example, small businesses or personal websites with moderate traffic often opt for shared hosting due to its affordability and simplicity.
