Shared Hosting (http://www.axelaris-hosting.com/web-hosting) is an option proposed by web hosting providers to allow to their customer to host their web sites. It's known that this product is the cheapest alternative to see one day your site on internet. But what's really a Shared Hosting?
By Shared Hosting, The provider means that he will give a dedicated disk space in one of his servers (http://www.axelaris-hosting.com/vps-hosting). But you will tell me where is the "shared" if I have my own disk space?
In fact, the only thing (by "thing" i mean material) you will have is a disk and you will shared all the rest. A server needs a calculation capacity (RAM, CPU) to be able to run and manage your data, applications and databases. And it is this calcul capacity that you will share with other customers.
Of course, a server has a limited calcul capacity. So yours, depends on the number of customers, hosted in the same main server, and of the material configuration. Make sure that your web site is not dynamic, don't have greedy applications and that it don't have a huge databases. It's primordial to know what is the needed ressources for your site before acquiring a server (if you don't want to see your pages planting).
