Shared hosting is a web hosting service. Shared hosting allows many websites to share web server. In a shared hosting plan, the server is divided between multiple users and each user used a specific amount of bandwidth. In Shared Hosting users share resources like RAM, disk space with other users.

Shared Hosting
1. A hosting service where a number of websites are hosted in a single server is called a Shared Hosting Plan.

2. This means that all the resources of the shared server such as bandwidth, space, database, FTP accounts, and email accounts are shared by a number of websites hosted by that particular server. In fact, there is no definite number of websites that a single server may host, the number could be in the tens, or the hundreds or even in the thousands.

3. This sharing of the resources of a single server is the very reason why shared hosting plans are offered at affordably low and cheap prices. Aside from the resources mentioned above, you are also made to share with the computer processor, the memory and the maintenance costs of the server. Shared servers are usually prone to hacking attacks.

4. You may experience resource limitation as everybody else in the network uses the same CPU, memory and hard drive. Server may get swamped by requests or overloaded which might cause it to stop


Web Hosting
1. Web hosting is a service that allows one to post a website or web page onto the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website to be viewed on the Internet. Websites are hosted or stored, on special computers called servers.

2. When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address or domain into their browser. Their computer will then connect to your server and your webpages will be delivered to them through the browser.

A shared hosting plan hosts multiple accounts on a single dedicated IP address. They are usually used to save costs and space for hosting. Shared hosting is not very recommendable as they do not provide data security as the same space and IP address is shared between multiple clients.

With Shared hosting, you ‘share’ space on a server with other websites. It’s like renting a room in a shared house – you’ve got your own little area, but you’re part of a larger communal space.
Shared hosting is the cheapest type there is. It’s got its benefits, but naturally, things can get a little cramped at times.
VPS hosting is where you have more than just one slice of a server. This can be thought of like renting a flat in a building block – more rooms, more space, more flexibility, and a little more expensive. You have a greater level of control, but you’re still operating within a shared server with others.
Generally, Shared hosting is for static websites – in other words, websites with fixed content that doesn’t change, no matter who visits it. Shared hosting is best for basic personal sites, like blogs, and for startups. You don’t get a wealth of features, ironclad security, or ultra-fast loading speeds, but then again, you don’t really need all that.
VPS hosting is a step up, and ideal for small businesses, online stores, and larger personal sites. You’ll see an increase in features, security and performance, all for a very reasonable rise in cost.
VPS hosting is also great if you’re looking to grow your site. Think of it as an investment – you want to pick a plan that matches your ambitions, not just one for the here-and-now.
Throughout this article, we’ll tackle the main pros/cons, and show you the top-rated providers for each type of hosting. We’ll also talk through the main areas to be aware of, assess the key differences, and pinpoint which hosting type is right for you: Shared hosting or VPS hosting.

Shared Hosting
It is today the most economical hosting solution and is suitable for blogging or corporate websites with moderate traffic. In fact, several websites share a single server and the same resources (bandwidth, disk space, and memory allocation). This solution is convenient for individuals who do not master the technique because the host provides you with a complete administration system and takes care of all the features related to the hosting system (update, security, maintenance, backups, software installation, etc.)

Web Hosting
For dedicated hosting, a full server belongs to you.This type of hosting is suitable for websites that generate a lot of traffic and require a lot of resources (examples: marketplace, social networks). Although no server can firmly guarantee 100 percent security, a dedicated server remains the best choice to adopt if the security of your website is your priority. As you do not have to share bandwidth with other websites, the dedicated servers are faster and you can host multiple websites, and the traffic is unlimited. Nevertheless, they are more expensive.

A dedicated server hosting plan means that your website is the only site hosted on the server. With shared hosting, the amount of disk space and bandwidth you are allotted is limited because there are others sharing the server.

The Difference Between Shared and VPS Hosting in a Nutshell. Simply put, shared hosting means your site will share the same server as many other sites. It's usually the cheapest option but comes with limited bandwidth, administration, and performance capabilities.

Please tell me what are the difference between Shared hosting and Individual hosting?

A dedicated server hosting plan means that your website is the only site hosted on the server. With shared hosting, the amount of disk space and bandwidth you are allotted is limited because there are others sharing the server. You will be charged if you surpass your allotted amount.

Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where a single physical server hosts multiple sites. Individual hosting is a type of web hosting where only one website is hosted.

Shared Web hosting allows multiple domains to share the resources of a single Web server. It is basically like various domains living in the same server room.
Individual hosting is one where all the resources of the server are dedicated to fulfill the demands of that particular domain which is hosted on the server.

Shared hosting is a web hosting type in which many websites are hosted on a single server — many other customers share all the resources. So those who have fewer requirements, they will prefer Shared Hosting. And also, it costs less than other hosting types.

If you are calling dedicated hosting as an individual hosting, then dedicated hosting is defined as a hosting service in which hosting provider gives a whole physical server to a single client.

Difference between shared and cloud hosting lies in how each is organized. Shared hosting servers are servers with multiple websites on them. ... Cloud hosting is a service that exists on multiple servers. Instead of on one shared server, your site is hosted in the cloud.
