Shared Server

Shared web servers are a very popular way of providing low-cost web hosting services.

Instead of requiring a separate computer for each site, dozens of sites can co-reside on the same computer.

In most cases, performance is not affected and each web site behaves as if it is being served by a dedicated server.
