Cheap and simple are the two words that described shared linux hosting. Essentially shared servers simple provide a server they manage to be commonly used for various clients. Its cheap because you only pay a monthly cost thats barely a fraction to what dedicated servers charge. And its simple because the server is professionally managed you dont have to do set up the server.
Thats why shared servers are ideal for entry-level Linux hosting. Its a good way to open up small-scale websites run by persons who are first time webmasters. It doesnt require clients much technical skill in order to get the benefits of hosting their own website.
Of course, Linux hosting done under a shared server will have limited features. Most of the capacity upgrades will be limited to throughput and disk size only. The fact that the website shares the server with other users will also affect server response time.
Nevertheless, beginners on Linux hosting should greatly consider using a shared server first before jumping to more complex ones.
