HostGator
Over the past decade, with the introduction of Cloud servers many developers and bussiness moved their hosting from crowded shared hosting to their own personalized Cloud servers.
Before 2005, many developers use shared hosting for hosting their websites because of the cost of having a personalized server was out of their budget. So at that time they prefered to use shared hosting so lower their developing cost. At that time, companies like HostGator became very popular
Companies like HostGator will manage costly physical servers and would charge to host your website on one of these servers alongside hundreds of other people’s websites. But after 2005, introduction to Cloud servers or virtual private servers changed this traditional shared hosting and people started moving to cloud for their own personalized environment.
