Shared web hosting proves to be the most economical web hosting around (if we don’t count free web hosting which we all know have a lot of cons than pros). Shared web hosting is done on a server shared by many users i.e. many web sites. And that way the web hosting company is able to offer web hosting at affordable rates. The cost of running a web server could be very high, when considering all factors down to the monthly electricity bill due to the server.

So, when a user requests the Dedicated web server, he in turn has to pay for all these costs and some extra to the web hosting company providing him the dedicated server. But in Shared web hosting the cost of running a web server is divided between all the users of that server. Shared web servers host a number of websites at one time. The presence of a lot of websites make security and server uptimes a very important issue for the professionals providing the shared hosting. With so many websites running on the server the company professionals monitor the performance of the server 24/7 to avoid any security breach and any downtimes.
