What is  Shared Hosting?

Shared web hosting is also called virtual hosting. Shared simply means there is more than one account hosted on the physical equipment. It is by far the most common type of web hosting account. It is also the most economical option for a full featured hosting account. It is entirely adequate for the vast majority of hosted sites.

Shared hosting typically uses a web-based control panel system, such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, Helm or one of many other control panel products. Some hosting providers use modified or licensed versions of these products or have their own home-built control panel. GoDaddy, DreamHost and 1and1 hosting are examples of companies with their own version of a control panel. 

There are thousands of shared hosting providers in the United States alone. They range in size and quality from a kid in the basement with a DSL connection to multi-million dollar providers with thousands of customers.
