Shared hosting means multiple customers share the same physical server and its resources. It is the least expensive hosting option. However, resources like CPU and bandwidth are divided among all users. This makes shared hosting unsuitable for intensive tasks like running forex trading robots. Shared servers have limited processing power, memory and strict usage quotas. Moreover, one user’s activity can affect others (known as the “noisy neighbor” problem). Because of these constraints, shared hosting is generally not used for automated trading; traders opt for VPS or dedicated hosting to get dedicated resources and stability.
