economical option for hosting, as all the expenditure on server is covered by
many users. Almost all the web hosting companies are providing very cheap web hosting packages in case of
shared server. Mainly two types of shared hosting are offered by web
hosting companies - Windows and Linux Shared Hosting.
Apart from affordability, other main advantages of shared
hosting is that you do not require technical skills or to hire any technical
person to perform tasks like server maintenance, hardware configuration, taking
backups etc. This saves your time and keeps you away from headaches as your web
hosting provider is taking care of your server.
Most of the shared hosting companies offers their services
with a very much user friendly control panel so it makes easy to them to edit
and upload their website. User can create email accounts and data base.
When it comes to disadvantages the main issue with the
shared hosting is of limited resources. In case if any of the website is
getting higher traffic and utilizing all the provided resources them then it creates load on that
server, server performance goes down and ultimately harm to other website on
