We already wrote about relatively higher priced options to host your website or WordPress Blog, namely Dedicated Server and Virtual Private Server (VPS). But, the cost starts at a higher price, so these might not be nifty options for beginners or if any one wants to create a portfolio website.

Shared Web Hosting offers to host your website or blog for just few Dollars per month.

You might wonder why other form of Web Hosting options are so costly when compared with Shared Web Hosting service. Basically, to run a Data-center; huge continuous expenditures are involved. One Physical Machine might not cost very high, neither the Bandwidth. But with the target for 100% uptime, these data-centers needs huge air conditioners, power backups, employees etc. these factors actually increases the cost of Web Hosting.

 

This problem of higher cost is reduced by Shared Web Hosting plans : one physical machine can host 500 or more small websites, there by the cost is reduced to approximately 3 $/ month. These are the benefits of Shared Web Hosting and it is where the benefits ends. Because, this structure makes the Shared Web Hosting unstable than a dedicated server or VPS.
