What is Shared Hosting?

CU*Answers Web Services offers shared website hosting. For those of us in the know, we understand what this means. But not everyone does.

Shared web hosting means we host many websites on one or more web servers connected to the Internet. Each individual website “sits” in its special place on the server, to keep it separate from other sites. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.

We keep the server secure. And we limit access to the server. But due to the nature of it being a shared resource on the public Internet, we cannot allow private data on this server.

If you have hosting needs that require private data capabilities, CU*Answers Network Services has some Virtual Private Server options.
