Shared hosting is often used by merchants on a tight budget, however, since their websites are essentially sharing the same resources as the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of other websites also on that server, response times can be painfully slow, especially when one of the websites on the same server sees an influx in traffic. You get what you pay for. Shared is slower, period, but cheaper…however, in the long run, that slowness can be causing a loss in customers, and therefore sales, and therefore the bottom line. So going the extra mile on hosting, may be the best decision you could make for your website and business.
