Shared web hosting is a hosting provider has a numberf websites hosted from a single server. A benefit is lower cost to customers and less maintenance for the hosting provider. Th down side is if someone's website reall drags the horsepower too much, everyone suffers. That is why a good host (like us) monitors the load to make sure too much isn' drawn. If issues begin to appear, we make every effort to resolve it quickly and least expensive for everyone.
