  1. I have a shared hosting with 2GB RAM, I just wanted to know that 2 GB is shared with other people or that 2 GB is dedicated to me only, I mean all other resources as well, I know IP is shared.

  2. Hi😃my my website in on shared server and site is on serbian language. Old around for 10 years and i publishes (daily) weird news every day To the 24 April 2021 my links indexed (show in google search) within a few minutes or couple of hours about 1-3 hours now no more 🙁

    Now the links from my site are indexed (appear in google search) for 6 hours (if the article was published around 10 in the morning) sometimes articles are published only after 11 hours and more hours 🙁 Also happens that the copied text of a site is indexed and shown in the search before my original text, which is weird

    I would really like to hear the opinion of (some) SEO experts about it ! why is that so why did it happen whether your site or google search algorithm

    P.S. My website is in google search for keyword (in Serbian "zanimljivosti") in 2 place 1 page in google.rs

    thank you for any help 🙂 or answer

  3. Cheap shared hosting will negatively impact performance and have that overload but damn, trying to explain this wasn't easy but my clients trust me now. I love Siteground! Great hosting and amazing customer service 👌🏻

  4. Thanks John for making it clear that shared hosting won't negatively affect organic search performance, and hopefully your hosting provider is looking out for any "bad" websites being hosted on their servers.
