Shared hosting is like public transportation.
Traveling by bus is an alternative to driving your own car. This has benefits. It is more environmentally friendly and can be more cost-effective. But due to the nature of the bus, you are sharing it with others, so it may be full at times and your travel time may increase in general, but it is still low cost, convenient and reliable.

This is how shared hosting works. The resources on the server are shared with other users, but you can still enjoy a lot of resources. Reputable web hosting companies have fair use policies in place to make sure that everyone has access to a reasonable amount of resources.

Shared hosting is an entry-level service capable of providing the resources that a startup, local business, or personal website requires. Many people who are new to the world of web hosting choose shared hosting because it is the most cost-effective option. Since many people share server resources, the cost to all of them remains low. The majority of shared hosting offers come with handy features such as an easy-to-use control panel that allows you to upload your website files, create email accounts, and add databases for the services you need.

Yes, some professionals consider shared hosting to be “beginner level hosting,” but for the majority of sites, it is more than enough for their needs.
