Short answer: Yes – if you’re on traditional shared hosting, a hacked website on the same server can put yours at risk too.
That’s a big reason why we don’t do shared hosting here at UltimateWB.
🔓 The Problem with Shared Hosting
With typical shared hosting providers, like many of the big-name hosts, multiple websites are stored together on the same server and under the same environment. This setup shares system resources, file space, and sometimes even user permissions.
If one of those sites gets hacked, attackers may be able to access other sites on the same server – including yours – by:
- Exploiting weak file permissions
- Leveraging vulnerabilities in outdated software
- Using backdoors or malware to scan and infect neighboring sites
Even if your own website is fully up to date, you could still be affected by someone else’s lack of security.
🔐 How UltimateWB Keeps You Secure
At UltimateWB, we take a very different approach. Whether you’re on a UltimateWB Web Hosting plan or using UltimateWB Cloud, you’re not on traditional shared hosting.
✅ Every account is securely separated
Each customer is hosted in their own isolated environment, with separate user permissions, file systems, and security boundaries. This ensures that even if another account were to have issues, your site stays protected.
✅ No overcrowded servers
We don’t cram thousands of websites onto a single machine. That means faster performance and higher security.
✅ Server hardening & proactive monitoring
We take security seriously – from regular updates and firewalls to malware scanning and resource usage controls.
🧱 Why Isolation Matters
If you’re managing multiple websites, it’s tempting to put them all under one account to save time or cost. But this can backfire. A vulnerability on just one site could allow attackers to access all the others in the same account.
That’s why UltimateWB makes it easy to:
- Host multiple websites under separate accounts
- Maintain full control over your files and code
- Enjoy high security and peace of mind
✅ Summary: Safer Hosting = Smarter Hosting
