Shared Hosting is an entry-level hosting where one server hosts multiple clients. Since each client gets (“shares”) a section of that individual server where they can host their applications, this keeps costs low. Clients share system resources on-demand, receiving a percentage of databases, disk space, CPU, RAM as well as email and FTP accounts. Other resources include the single MySQL server, Apache server, and mail server. Considered the most cost-effective option, Shared Hosting offers enough resources for any startup, local business, or personal website.
