When choosing shared hosting from providers like Bluehost grasp its limits—shared hosting means multiple websites share one server’s resources (CPU RAM disk) Check plans for inode caps (e g 200 000 files) and bandwidth (e g 10TB/month)—exceeding these slows your site or triggers suspension Test MySQL performance with
mysql -u user -p -e \"SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections';\"
—expect ~100 on shared plans versus 500+ on VPS Uptime is tied to server load—use
curl -I domain.com
to check response times (<500ms ideal) For Ubuntu-based shared hosting SSH access is rare—confirm with support if ssh user@host is allowed This setup suits small sites but lacks UFW or Fail2ban control—opt for SiteGround if SSL and phpMyAdmin are priorities ensuring basic uptime without VPS-level customization
