Yes, you are absolutely right. Shared hosting really fits for beginners and is really cheaper than other types of web hosting. Obviously, Website on shared hosting really easily affected by other sites on the same server, including website performance and security.

A shared hosting plan hosts multiple accounts on a single dedicated IP address. They are usually used to save costs and space for hosting. Shared hosting is not very recommendable as they do not provide data security as the same space and IP address is shared between multiple clients.

I've read one article that says if you can avoid shared hosting it because it has disadvantages. But, I guess it is not as bad as how the article describe it to be. And you are right it is good for beginner, not too costly.

When my husband was in charge of their office's website, they were initially on a shared hosting due to the cost. During that time hosting was very expensive so that small websites would opt for shared hosting just to save on the cost. The problem with shared hosting is the peak time and the off peak hours that you will observe. There are times that the access is crawling simply because it is peak hours that a shared server is experiencing. But now that hosting costs not that much anymore I guess it is best to have a private server that is exclusive for your website.

Shared hosting is mainly for the user who are building their first own website. It allows many websites that can be shared on a single server. The user doesn’t know with which website they are sharing their resources. Every user works on a limited amount of resources as provided by server provider according to their hosting package.
In shared hosting the provider is generally responsible for managing server, security patches, installing software and other aspects of their service. Most of the server use Linux operating system for their use and some providers offer Microsoft based solutions. Each user has its own domain name, from a single web server.
Shared hosting is surely the most economical and cheapest server as per your needs. As no technical maintenance is required from your side and it is all maintained by the server provider on a price range of $2-$10. It has multiple levels and you can upgrade your hosting as per your requirement.
Some drawbacks are there such as the loading speed is slower than dedicated server. The user can’t do much customization in their website. Sometimes the website can be over burned as multiple websites are running on a single server. It is not sufficient for the websites with high traffic.
Shared hosting can be implemented in two ways: IP based and Name based.
In IP based hosting many hosting servers works on a single IP address. The web server software uses this information in opening their required site for the user .
In Name based hosting many hosting servers with different IP addresses have same name. The server lets the user which site to be opened by using the information.

Shared hosting is by no means the best for a full fledged revenue generating high traffic site but it is best you start here. At least the costs of hosting will never cause you to shut your site down.

If you are wondering how much more the best services cost. Let me put it this way, a month of hosting on the best managed WordPress host will cost you the same, as it would 8 months on a shared hosting platform. If you are confident of your ability to generate revenue, I think you should start with the best in business – Managed WordPress Hosting – WP Engine.

But if you are a first time blogger, you can not possibly be. And money is a genuine concern. I see far too many people recommending expensive hosting plans as though cost is not relevant at all. But for some of you, for whom cost is relevant and a deterrent, when it comes to starting a site there is shared hosting.

Shared hosting is one of the most common and popular forms of Web hosting service. It is generally provided by Web hosting service providers, which usually have multiple Web servers on-site. Upon signup with the provider, each website’s logical partition/space is created on the Web server, which houses data for that website only. In this way, the overall cost of maintenance is shared by all the shared users, therefore reducing the cost.

I thought it was a question when I first clicked on the thread, but it seems that you've already answered everything correctly. Long story short, the knowledge and response would be the name. Meaning that it's not your personal hosting, but rather a shared one.

Shared hosting is a type of web hosting where a single physical server hosts multiple sites. Many users utilize the resources on a single server, which keeps the costs low. Users each get a section of a server in which they can host their website files. Shared servers can hosts hundreds of users. Each customer using the shared hosting platform’s server has access to features like databases, monthly traffic, disk space, email accounts, FTP accounts and other add-ons offered by the host. System resources are shared on-demand by customers on the server, and each gets a percentage of everything from RAM and CPU, and other elements such as the single MySQL server, Apache server, and mail server.

Shared hosting is not that bad but it has it's own advantage and disadvantage. To many host depending on one server can make the server function slower since it is hosting multiple sites. This kind of hosting are good for starters but soon you will feel the disadvantage. What's good about this kind if set-up is it is cheap compared to other kinds of hosting out there. So if you are short on budget this could be a good choice.
