Shared Hosting

Shared web hosting provides hosting for more than one website, using a server and its resources. Often, each user will have a certain amount of resources allocated to them, but this can also be impacted by the use of the other sites in the server.

There are advantages and disadvantages to shared web hosting, so of course there are a few things that are worth considering before you dive in.

 If you require even faster load speeds, VPS and dedicated packages will be able to provide a faster service. Potentially, other users of the server may sometimes impact your site’s performance. 

Similarly, if your traffic levels increase, this could dampen the performance of your site. Shared web hosting packages also limit your ability to customise the server towards your own particular needs.

If none of these points are a concern for your site, then we highly recommend that you investigate the potential of shared web hosting options. Take a look at our range of affordable hosting packages right now and get in touch to find out more.
