Countless web hosting sites have surfaced on the World Wide Web.  And so have countless web hosting offers & countless myths! It’s time to cut through delusions & know the truth about web hosting; shared hosting in particular in this post.

Here are some common myths related to Shared web hosting, which no longer hold true.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is a victim of “bad neighborhood” problem

It’s a common belief that as hundreds of websites are sharing the common server space in shared web hosting, your site might suffer from slow speed if any of the bad neighbors (websites) is consuming lots of RAM/disk IO/memory/network etc.

Fact—Most of the good web hosting providers have been able to minimize this problem to a great extent with their quick action & considerable monitoring of the server. A good provider aims to keep its server in a healthy state by keeping a constant vigil on its online resources. If any intricacies crop up on the server, it takes the necessary action to resolve the issues and send an alert to all the website owners. As a result, the ‘bad neighborhood’ problem is no more a serious concern.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is non-flexible

It’s a common perception that shared hosting is not flexible, and not many latest software can be run on the shared server.

Fact—Shared web hosting is flexible. A good shared web hosting provider would allow you to successfully install and run any software provided it adheres to its AUP (acceptable use policy) & does not consume a lot of available resources on the server. It also fetches you all the required tools using which you can install the software in the home directory of your website & are not supposed to reboot your system to run the same.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is NOT up-to-date

It’s commonly believed that shared hosting does not entail the latest developments & resources in the web hosting business.

Fact—A good modern shared web host equips its users with all the advanced tools, applications & resources besides updating its repository with new tools from time to time. So, when you purchase a shared web hosting plan keep aside all the fears & go ahead confidently hosting your site on a shared web server.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is full of hassles.

Many people think since there are numerous websites housed on a common server, the experience of shared web hosting would be problematic or rather horrifying. And that, it can deter the progress of your website.

Fact—Shared web hosting does not encompass hassles as it’s commonly thought. Also, it’s available at quite affordable prices, and does not create a hole in your pocket in the process of hosting your website. In shared hosting, the backup of all your data & files is created on the server. So, you don’t need to worry about the aspect of data loss too.

We hope that reading this post would help you overcome some of the myths that you may have about shared hosting, and prompt you to try a shared web hosting plan of a good provider for your website.
