7. SHARED WEB HOSTING Shared hosting is a type of Web Hosting service that allows multiple websites to share a physical web server and its resources among the hosted websites. Shared hosting allows multiple websites to utilize a single server Limit on the total amount of server resources It’s the cheapest option.

8. So, whenever you purchase a web hosting, you actually buying the space of the various servers. So, there are various companies that sell web hosting Lets say godaddy, bluehost. So whenever you are buying the hosting, you’re actually buying some space on the server of the company. So this companies have massive servers. So you’ve actually paying a monthly fees for some space on this servers. So when we talk about share web hosting, your actually taking a small part of the server. Because taking the entire server will be really expensive. So shared web hosting is the solution to the people to start their blog at a very cheap price by taking a small part of the server.

9. Lets take a example, lets assume that you are looking for a flat and you’ve seen the flat which is really amazing and it is 3 rooms. But you’re requirement is 1 room. So you don’t want to pay for the entire flat when you only need 1 room. Right? So the solution is that, 3 people can take 1 room each, so that each person doesn’t have to pay entire amount of the flat rather just 1/3 of the entire room. So that’s how shared web hosting works…
