Understanding Shared Hosting: What It Is & How It Works

Shared hosting is a web hosting service in which numerous websites reside on a single physical server, sharing its resources like CPU, RAM, and disk space. This method is highly popular and cost-effective, making it particularly suitable for small businesses, personal blogs, and startup websites.

How Does Shared Hosting Work?

1. Server Partitioning:
   The server is divided into multiple user accounts, each allocated a portion of its resources. Each account is capable of hosting one or more websites based on the hosting plan.
2. Resource Sharing:
   All websites on the shared server share the same pool of resources. The hosting provider handles the management and maintenance of the server’s hardware, software, and network infrastructure.
3. Control Panel Access:
   Users typically access a control panel (e.g., cPanel, Plesk) to manage their websites, databases, emails, and other hosting features.
