Exactly, and from the article, it's clear that this sharing is managed through a control panel like cPanel, which makes it very user-friendly for beginners. However, the downside is the lack of control. You can't tweak server settings or install any software you want because it might affect others on the same server.
I came across this article https://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/how-does-shared-hosting-work/ about how shared hosting works, and it’s really insightful. It explains that with shared hosting, multiple websites are hosted on the same server, sharing its resources like CPU and RAM. This makes it affordable for beginners, but it also means that if other sites use too much server power, it can slow down your site. In practice, it’s a great option for small websites or blogs, but as traffic grows, it may lead to performance issues. Has anyone experienced this firsthand with shared hosting?
