Shared Web Hosting

Shared hosting refers to the practice of splitting up server resources among many customers in order to defer the cost to many different customers. This means that shared hosting companies are more affordable. Additionally, shared hosting servers are often run by the ISP itself, meaning that they handle security issues and technical operations as they arise in a “managed” hosting environment. Most web hosting companies provide shared hosting which can be Linux based or Windows based. 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 server, either provided by a web hosting company or maintained in-house. The following companies provide Shared Hosting services.
