Shared hosting is one of the most frequently used hosting in the web industry. It is because of its low cost and maintenance. Shared hosting is nothing but the physical web server connected to the internet is shared by many websites.

This type of hosting is useful for small websites which certainly need web presence. However it is not suitable for websites with heavy traffic. Various hosting companies in the market offer shared hosting packages.
