Shared Hosting
With shared hosting, multiple websites share the same physical server along with CPU, memory, and network resources. This model is particularly common for smaller projects or entry-level websites. For growing applications handling personal data , however, performance and GDPR compliance limitations may become relevant.
Why is shared hosting relevant?
Shared hosting is cost-effective and low-maintenance, as infrastructure and updates are managed by the provider. At the same time, fluctuating load spikes from other projects can impact performance and negatively affect load times.
Relationship with infrastructure and location
Beyond resource distribution, the Server location also plays a role for latency and data protection. When processing Personal data , hosting providers must offer clear contractual regulations for data processing.
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Many expect dedicated performance even though resources are shared with other projects. With growing web applications or increasing API load, this can lead to bottlenecks.
How we use it
At BTECH Solutions, we use shared hosting specifically for SSG websites that are delivered as pre-rendered HTML files -- ideal for Server-Side Rendering projects with Angular. For applications with a Django backend or database operations, we recommend VPS or Containerization via Docker. At All-Inkl, we verify the Data processing agreement contract and ensure that SSL certificate and HSTS are correctly configured. This way, we leverage the cost advantages of shared hosting without compromising on GDPR-compliant requirements.
