I’ve used shared hosting in the past, but I didn’t use it for that long as my site ended using up a lot of resources since it started growing quite quickly. Shared hosting is good to start off with and work your up with to other servers.
I don’t like upgrading my phone and getting a new one very often. I kept my iPhone 8 for a few years and now i’ve been using my iPhone 13 for about 2-3 years now. I don’t plan on upgrading for another year or two, possibly longer.
