>Hate to break it to you, but I think the pedantry is unnecessary here. "Shared hosting" colloquially refers to multiple websites sharing a single web server, database, and PHP process.

What "shared hosting" does NOT usually refer to are containers, virtual machines, bare-metal, IaaS deployment environments, or anything like that.
