Shared hosting is a form of virtual hosting that requires its users to share the same server and often the same IP address. This is the most economical form of hosting as it is quite inexpensive and usually sufficient for small to medium sized websites. Even though the websites on a shared hosting server have separate domains and separate content, they are still linked by the server that they share. While it is still the most affordable hosting option, there are still some issues you may face. This is why we do not offer shared hosting for SEO Hosting purposes.
Shared IP
Unless you have an e-commerce site and need a dedicated IP for SSL, you will share an IP address with other users when using shared hosting. This is normally fine, but you should know that some of the things your neighbors do can affect your IP address. For example, if your neighbor gets put on a spam blacklist, anyone else who shares that IP will be on it to – including you.
CPU and Memory
With shared hosting you will have a guaranteed amount of disk space assigned to your account but you will still have to share CPU power and RAM with your neighbors. So if one of them ends up takes more than his or her fair share, it can adversely affect the other users.
Hacking
It can be quite an unfortunate event when one of your neighbors has his site hacked and you just had better hope the security breach is not serious enough to cause the whole server to be affected. if that is the case then your site could be in jeopardy as well.
Despite the above three issues, shared hosting has plenty of benefits for traditional hosting but for SEO Hosting we still recommend using either a VPS or Dedicated Server for hosting your valuable websites as it is a much more suitable environment.
