Shared hosting
What is shared hosting?
Shared hosting is the most popular form of web hosting, with many accounts - sometimes thousands - hosted on a single server. This form of hosting is usually the cheapest option however sites on a shared server can be effected by others, meaning if one site gets very busy others sharing the same server can become slower or in theory even be taken offline. You should decide if shared hosting is suitable for you based on the importance of your web site and the amount of money you are willing to spend.
