Why?

Why?
- pestaa 12y agoThe security implications and unpredictable resource availability never made it feasible to run a real production site from shared hosting.
- andybak 12y agoHmmmm. I've got about a dozen.
- stingraycharles 12y agoWhat? You are suggesting that everyone should run their own server? And you are suggesting that nobody even ran a real production site on shared hosting? You could say the exact same thing about VPS servers compared to dedicated hosting and be equally wrong. Please accept that there are different use cases that come with different solutions, of which shared hosting is one.
- zupreme 12y agoInteresting perspective. I have clients who have been making very healthy mid to high six figure incomes off of their commerce sites, blogs, and CPA sites which live on shared hosting. Good thing they didn't get your memo.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoYes, many shared hosts suck, but so do many VPS hosts. It doesn't mean shared hosting is an unworkable model.
- teh_klev 12y agoIt depends on the hoster and how much you're willing to pay. If you're paying $2.99 a month then yes, you're probably going to have a less than predictable experience. I work for a shared/dedicated hoster, we're geared price-wise at the higher end of the market and we provide shared hosting for our business customers. Our shared environments are closely monitored and never oversubscribed. We're constantly looking out for customer sites that misbehave and shut down those that are resource hogs or service affecting. We have loads of customers running the internet facing parts of their businesses on shared. Shared hosting, like all other things, is a case of "you get what you paid for".
