Shared hosting is usually preferred by users having small web-sites and does not incur loads of traffic(visitors).Shared hosting is low priced but does not have the capacity to handle any number of visitors. Also,you are not permitted to set-up applications of your choice neither do you have the permission to use scripts. Customization is not possible with shared server,if you run out of resources allotted by the web host,the only option you have is upgrade to the next package. Still there is no guarantee that your website would function smoothly with optimum speed.
