Shared hosting is perfect for blogs, portfolios, personal/business sites, and database-driven sites.
That's why we recommend that you look at our more powerful options if you're expecting to experience high traffic levels on your site. While DreamHost works hard to make sure all sites on a shared server never disrupt other sites, this is always a possibility due to the nature of the product. If another website on the same server is receiving large amounts of traffic, or using a lot of the server's limited resources, it's possible that your site may run slower as a result. Shared hosting customers share the server's resources with other customers. Shared hosting is the most affordable option, but it does have its limitations. DreamHost offers several different types of hosting plans that work for all website hosting needs.
