Shared web hosting is when your website shares a server with other people's websites. Companies usually offer this as a least expensive alternative to dedicated hosting where you have your own server. Shared hosting can either be name based or IP based. The major difference between the two is that IP based has its own IP address and name based also shares an IP address with other websites. Of the two IP based web hosting is more secure because it usually have multiple network interfaces and is able to use its own SSL certificate rather than sharing one.
In general using shared hosting may not be as secure as dedicated hosting but web hosting companies that offer this service realize that and have increased security for this type of hosting to alleviate any problems. In addition, shared hosting may not be as flexible as the alternative. You will not have complete control over your system. For instance, you cannot choose the operating system with shared hosting you would have to find service that already offers the one you want. In general you cannot choose what hardware to put on the server. Shared hosting comes with the hardware on it already.
So depending on what you are using your new website for the negatives may not be negatives at all. Since most share hosting service comes with lots of things on the server to meet your needs many of us wouldn't want to go through having to figure all that out anyway. I know I wouldn't. So by getting shared hosting you can save some money up front but dedicated may save more money in the long run for those who need it. So should you buy shared web hosting? I say yes, this is one of the most popular types of hosting being sold and most of us are already using it.
