Web hosts offer shared web hosting to clients who need a lot of space or bandwidth. They are responsible for ensuring that your site stays online and will take care of any issues that may arise. When you use shared web hosting, you’re essentially giving someone else access to your server so they can run their site on it (or turn it into another one).

Shared web hosting is when you have a remote server 

Shared web hosting is when you have a remote server (which runs your website) that someone is responsible for. You do not own the server but instead, pay a monthly fee for its use and receive access to it through their services. This means that if something goes wrong with their service, they’re responsible for fixing it—not you.

There are also some drawbacks to shared web hosting:

• You can’t build your website on this type of account because there isn’t room on the physical machine itself, so all new content on the site will have to be stored elsewhere (in addition to being hosted). This means that if there’s an update or change in functionality or appearance needed after installation/setup time has passed, then these updates may need additional storage space added within, as well as additional bandwidth usage due to higher traffic volumes being used during peak hours/times during which most people are accessing websites across various platforms including mobile devices such as smartphones which tend not only use more data but also require faster speeds due to streaming videos over networks rather than downloading files onto local hard drives.”

Other people may take over the server 

If your website is too popular or earns you a lot of money, the server may be taken over by other people, and the website will be hosted on its server. This can happen without notice, so if you are hosting a large site that has been hacked or just had some major changes made to it (such as having more than 5,000 visitors per day), then don’t worry—you won’t know about it until you try to access your site after 48 hours have passed since your last successful login attempt.

When this happens to one of our client’s websites, we’ll work with them immediately so they can get their site back online as soon as possible.

The site may not work when you need it most

To use shared web hosting, you must agree to let the owners of the hosting service run their services on your site. This means that your site may not work when you need it most. If your site goes down, it can take 48 hours for us to get back online and fix it. Shared hosting is not reliable, safe, fast, secure, and scalable.

Only use free shared web hosting sites 

If you’re looking for a place to host your website, it may be tempting to try out free web hosting sites. This can be a great way to get started with your site without having to pay much money, but there are some important things that you should know before signing up: 

• Free shared web hosting is not always reliable. While they may offer enough bandwidth and storage space for basic websites and blogs, they are not as secure or stable as paid options. It’s also possible that the service will go down completely—and when this happens, it’s all over! If someone needs access or updates on their site during this period (which could happen at any moment), then they won’t have any way of getting them until after 48 hours have passed since their last successful login attempt (which means that even if someone manages somehow get past security measures like CAPTCHA security codes), there still won’t be any way back into their accounts until then either because those passwords were changed by accident or because someone else took control over them by hacking into those accounts themselves

As we’ve seen, shared web hosting is a bad choice for many reasons. It may cost you money and time if something goes wrong, there’s no guarantee that your site will be able to stay up for long periods, and it could also cause more problems for you if someone else gets control over the server during peak hours (like when people are online).
