Shared Hosting

Shared hosting places multiple websites on a single physical server, dividing CPU, RAM, and disk resources among all tenants. It is the most affordable hosting option and suitable for low-traffic sites, but performance degrades when neighboring sites spike in usage — a phenomenon known as the 'noisy neighbor' effect. From a domain perspective, shared hosts typically assign a shared IP address to all tenants, which means your domain's [[reverse-dns|reverse DNS]] will point to the hosting provider rather than your brand. Upgrading to [[vps-hosting|VPS]] or [[dedicated-server|dedicated hosting]] provides an isolated IP for better email deliverability and reputation control.
