Shared Web Hosting Defined



Shared Hosting

Shared webhosting is where you are essentially sharing server space with other websites and people like yourself.  Each site has it's own little space within a server but they are still separate and secure areas within the server.  If you are creating a smaller website for business or personal use then you will need a web hosting provider to be able to put your website online for the world to access.  Once you find a reliable web host then they will provide you with a space to upload all of your information.  This space is connected to the internet and when people send a request to see your site (by typing the the www. domain name) the web hosting provider will pull out your information for the user to access.   Because you are sharing the server with other people this is the most economically webhosting avialable.  You can typically get cheap webhosting packages, such as JustHost.com, for around $4.00 per month.
