Shared Web Hosting

Shared web hosting allows numerous websites to share a single server, that is managed by the hosting provider. This keeps expenses low since as each user receives a shared piece of that particular server, where they may put their website files. Users can share system resources on-demand, with a proportion of databases, disc space, CPU, RAM, email, and FTP accounts available to them.

Resource sharing

Although the resources on a Shared Web Hosting server are shared with other users, you still take advantage of a decent amount of recourses. Shared hosting would not operate if every site consumed its limit. But, because so few people do, it works out perfectly for everyone.

Your shared web hosting server prevents other websites from accessing any of your website's data mainly by using the CloudLinux OS.
