Shared hosting is the cheapest and most common type of hosting that resources such as disk, CPU, and RAM are shared amongst a number of clients. An IP address is also shared between these users. An individual hosting (also know as dedicated hosting), on the other hand, is a hosting plan where only one website is hosted on a a single physical server. Thus, an individual hosting plan is much more reliable than a shared web hosting plan and is more suitable for a big website.

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.

shared hosting allows multiple users/websites/accounts to be hosted on a single web server. dedicated hosting in its turn, is a single server solely devoted to one user.

Still, there are some advantages and disadvantages of choosing one or the other. Let’s have a deeper look at each of the server type taking into consideration management, performance, resources, security and cost.

The difference between the two hosting types is the type of server on which your website is stored. ... With shared hosting, your website lives alongside others, which are neighboring users utilizing the same server. With dedicated hosting plans, your website has a server all to itself.
