About shared hosting

Shared hosting is a commodity product for end consumers. Shared hosting providers usually run the data centers and the bare metal servers themselves. Shared hosting often includes domain and email services. Lot's of stuff for little money. Shared hosting is for consumers and hobbyists. Developer tools and workflows are missing. With shared hosting you'll get long running contracts that lock you in, outdated software versions and bloated control panels.
