Server instability. More stringent restrictions on server resources (processor time, available RAM, permanent memory, number of database requests, etc.). Critical limit on the number of FTP, SMTP, DataBase (MySQL / MSSQL / postgre SQL) accounts or even their absence.
Lack of support for server-side languages (PHP, ASP.NET, Java, Python, etc.) or their components/add-ons (including CMS such as Joompla, Wordpress, Drupal, DLE, not to mention less popular ones) Limited download file size. Some file extensions are prohibited. Those. support is most often absent or not fully functional. Often there is a lack of a normal control panel, task schedulers and other goodies. Inability to link an external domain. Not solidity. Most often, you can say goodbye to your website if it somehow did not please the hoster.
Nobody owes you anything. You will not be asked whether to disable the site or not. At best, they will give you a warning or offer to order paid services. Paid virtual hosting usually does not have the above disadvantages. It is quite economical and ideal for small and medium-sized projects. I recommend choosing a hosting company here. If your site: is very demanding on resources/has a lot of traffic/requires additional administration or fine-tuning of the server, then as an
option you can use a virtual dedicated server or a dedicated server or even cloud hosting. The latter are much more expensive than shared hosting.
