Shared (or “virtual”) hosting means that your website resides on a server that is simultaneously hosting other sites. Your site will be allocated a set amount of disk space and data transfer and, in most instances, you will be able to use your own domain name (eg. www.yourname.com). Note that although the server is being shared by other sites, your site’s files are protected and secure, unable to be accessed by the server’s other users.
