Shared Hosting Introduction
This is the Shared Hosting page of Web Hosting Reviews and News. Shared hosting or virtual hosting is the most popular form of web hosting, since it provides an economical sharing of a server among multiple webmasters or customers of a web hosting service provider. In shared hosting or virtual hosting, for example, multiple customers of a hosting service share a single server. Security implemented through the hosting control panel and password access limits each webmaster to access only his or her websites. Shared Hosting usually is appropriate for most websites, except large websites, which require one or more dedicated hosting servers. This page provides news and information regarding shared hosting and virtual hosting services.
Typically, top web hosting companies offer a number of shared hosting plans, as well as dedicated hosting plans for larger websites. In shared hosting, dozens or hundreds of websites can be hosted on a single server. A drawback is if some of those sites become particularly demanding on the server CPU, the websites of other customers can slow down. Good web hosting companies will monitor usage patterns and determine if the CPU hogs are mis-using the service or require switching to dedicated hosting to preserve the level of service to other websites on the shared server. Other techniques include limiting the CPU usage for each customer thereby ensuring no service degradation. Despite these inconveniences, virtual or shared hosting tends to be less expensive.
