Shared WebHosting Drawbacks

Shared Hosting drawbacks



Recently I wrote an article about Shared Hosting Benefits. Now let's talk about Shared Hosting Drawbacks


  • Resources sharing

    The main drawback of a shared hosting is that your web applications share server's resources (cpu, bandwidth, memory, etc.) between other customers, which slows down the server.

  • Access to server

    Another inconvenience is that you don't have access to server, so you can't install any application that you might need.

  • Limited disk space, bandwidth, etc


    Disk space, bandwidth are limited on a shared hosting plan.

  • Shared IP Address

    On a shared hosting plan IP Address is shared between customers, so private SSL certificates cannot be used.

  • Limited ports

    Some ports that you might need are closed for security reasons.

  • Security

    E-commerce web sites usually deal with credit cards, I don't recommend shared hosting for this type of operations.

  • Overselling


    Many shared hosting providers are oversold.

BlueHost Reviews

If you've had any good or bad experience with BlueHost please feel free to add your comments about this hosting.

This is the best not-oversold shared hosting provider. You can host up to 6 domains, which is pretty good for a shared webhosting plan.

If you consider hosting more than 6 domains, probably you should think about a dedicated server.

Monthly price is only $6.95. Free setup. No hidden fees.

So let's see what's so great about BlueHost:


  • 200 Gigabyte Hosting Space

  • Host 6 Domains on 1 Account!!! Remember, this is not an oversold hosting provider, so it's performance is higher than other overselling hosting providers.

  • 2,000 GIGS of Transfer

  • SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats

  • CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL

  • 2000/2002/2003 Front Page Extensions

  • Free Domain Forever!

  • Search Engine Submission FREE



These are only few features, Bluhost offers much more. View all hosting features from BlueHost.
