shared hosting concept is very simple. you will be allocated a part of space to host your site from your hosting provider from their total server space. the space is allocated according to the plan you choose.
for example TheWebPole.com is my hosting provider. they provider 3 different plans. among them
10 GB Space
Unlimited Bandwidth
100 Email Accounts²10 MySQL Databases is one of the plan.
if i choose this plan i will be allocated 10GB space within the total space.
its is a simple process. a single server shared by number of users. this is shared hosting.
the benefits is it is
reliable, cost efficient, server management and its simple.

Shared hosting is one of the reliable solution for web hosting, where you can host thousands of websites in a single server. But it has certain limitations that you are not allowed to install programs, as the server is maintained by other company. In such cases, you may go with dedicated servers, that takes over the shared hosting limitations. To know more on web hosting, check out hioxindia.
