What is Shared hosting?

Shared hosting places many customer websites on one server that is tuned and watched by the provider, which is what makes it the cheapest way to run a site. Each account is isolated with its own files, databases and control panel, and modern setups with LiteSpeed caching serve small-business traffic comfortably. The trade-off is that you share server resources, so extremely busy sites eventually outgrow the tier — at which point you upgrade to WordPress, VPS or reseller plans without losing anything.
