What is shared hosting?

[L.N.Smith]

Shared hosting is the most common type of budget web hosting. You are hosted on a server with different websites, that you share the server with. One abusive site can slow down the whole server, and on an unsecured server, a malicious user can gain access to your files. The number of sites hosted on a server depends on the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]web [COLOR=blue !important]host[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], and the size of the plans. Users on shared servers often experience slow speeds, due to overselling. Many shared server web hosts oversell their servers. Overselling is assuming that most users will not use up all of their resources, so they put more users on a server than it could hold if every user used up all of their alloted resources. This isn't too big of an issue if web hosts know what they're doing, and oversell responsibly. Shared hosting can start very cheap, as low as a couple dollars per month, but I suggest going with something a little more costly.

A shared web hosting service or virtual hosting service or derive host refers to a web hosting service where many websites reside on one web server connected to the Internet. Each site "sits" on its own partition, or section/place on the server, to keep it separate from other sites. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.

Shared hosting is Web hosting in which the service provider serves pages for multiple Web sites, each having its own Internet domain name, from a single Web server. Most Web hosting companies provide shared hosting. Although shared hosting is a less expensive way for businesses to create a Web presence, it is usually not sufficient for Web sites with high traffic. These sites need a dedicated Web server, either provided by a Web hosting service or maintained in-house.

Re:

Shared hosting is good if you want your site online within 24 hours, you are short on technical experience, and you want affordable hosting solutions. The best thing about shared web hosting solution is that it offers the benefits of high performance web hosting services, while sharing a powerful web server with several others.

Web hosting is a service that allows you to upload your website in a web server and show it to your target audience 24/7 without having your personal computer powered on.
Those servers are powerfull machines with a good amount of disk space and traffic. That disk space and traffic is rented to a fair amount of customers who want to create and publish their personal or even business website.

Web Hosting can be splitted in two categories.
1)Basic Hosting
2)Business Hosting

Website hosting:

Once a website is completely developed these pages have to be connected to the internet. So that when a user types www.domain.com the pages which was developed is shown to the users.

Web hosting actually involves two steps that is booking a domain name and buying a web space:

· We buy the web space to host the website which was developed; we call it as hosting on the server. To host on to a server we need service providers who actually provide this service at the cost defined by them.

· www.domainame.com is called a domain, which is nothing but an address. Every hosting should contain at least a domain name. But Web hosting is the place where your pages actually resides.

yes it is neccessary to have webhosting. See domain name is just an address for the end user, but there are no pages which can display. So when you buy webhosting along with domain name, automatically that domain will point to the server, and the files which needs to be shown when the user types the address.. In simple just understand, domain name is just a pointer to your webpages, and webpages are actually hosted in web hosting server..
