The websites hosted on the server share the same IP address. Resources like CPU, RAM, and disk space are shared among different websites.

With shared hosting, the server is managed by the Web Hosting providers and they have full control of installing and running an OS in the server. Shared hosting is best suited for starters who aim at reaching a small target and less traffic online.
