Hosting type
Shared hosting
Shared hosting puts your site on a server alongside many others, splitting the cost so the entry price stays low. It is where most websites start, and for a brochure site, a blog or a small shop it is usually all you need.
The trade-off is that you share CPU, memory and disk with your neighbours, so a busy site next door can slow yours down, and resource limits are firmer than the marketing suggests. The number that matters most is not the headline rate but the renewal price, which on a lot of shared plans doubles or triples after the first term.

Common questions
A hosting plan where many websites live on one server and share its resources, which keeps the price low. The host handles all the server administration for you.
For most WordPress sites, yes. A blog or small business site runs comfortably on shared hosting. If you expect heavy traffic or run a busy store, look at managed WordPress, VPS or cloud hosting instead.
Many shared hosts advertise a low first-term rate that renews at a much higher standard price. Always check the renewal figure before you commit. Every plan we list shows it where the provider has supplied it.
