Host Multiple Websites on One Server
Shared web hosting in particular hosts different websites which share single server. Every website which shares the server also shares few common resources like hard disk space, amount of data transfer and CPU. Users can only have limited right to use to their hosting accounts. They are not permitted to access the root level folders. The Web hosting provider takes complete responsibility for complete management and maintenance. Shared web hosting is useful for those who have medium sized websites and does not require huge capacity oriented server resources. Number of accounts on one physical server is entirely up to the web host. Websites that are used for commercial purposes often use dedicated hosting or the VPS hosting.
