Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites are hosted on the same physical server and share its resources—like CPU, RAM, and disk space.

Key features of shared hosting:

• Cost-effective: It’s the most affordable hosting option, ideal for small websites, blogs, and startups.

• Easy to use: Usually comes with a control panel (like cPanel) and 1-click app installs (like WordPress).

• Managed server: The hosting provider handles server maintenance, security, and updates.

• Resource sharing: Since you share resources with other users, performance may be affected if one site uses too much.

It’s a great starting point for websites that don’t have high traffic or complex functionality.

Yes, you can transfer your domain name to CloudFivo.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

1. Unlock your domain from your current registrar.

2. Get the EPP/Auth code (also called a transfer code).

3. Initiate the transfer on CloudFivo by entering your domain name and the EPP code.

4. Approve the transfer via email if required.

Once approved, the transfer usually completes within 5–7 days. Your domain’s remaining registration time will carry over, and an additional year is typically added (depending on the domain extension).

In shared hosting, servers are shared by hosting multiple websites on a single physical machine. Here’s how it works:

1. Single Server, Multiple Accounts

The hosting provider sets up a server and divides its resources (CPU, RAM, disk space, bandwidth) among many users—each with their own hosting account.

2. Account Isolation

Even though all websites are on the same server, each account is isolated using software (like cPanel or CloudLinux) so users can’t access each other’s files.

3. Shared Resources

All websites share:

• CPU power

• Memory (RAM)

• Disk space

• Network bandwidth

If one website uses too many resources (e.g., sudden traffic spike), it may temporarily slow down other sites on the same server—though modern hosts use tools to limit such impact.

4. Managed Environment

The hosting provider manages security, server updates, software, and backups. This makes it beginner-friendly but less customizable than VPS or dedicated hosting.
