Cons

Good information, I think the most obvious benefit of shared hosting is the affordable rates... I have never had a problem with shared hosting accounts.

All depends on the company that provide shared services for their clients. I can say that if your company is relilable and reputable like ahosting.biz, you will never face the issues or they will be removed very fast.

I think the biggest pro with shared hosting is the low cost and the list of features you get. The biggest con is since you are sharing resources with other websites that your site can sometimes be compromised in terms of speed.

So what should you look for in the package they offer

[SiberForum]

Multiply e-mail, MySQL, PHP support

FYI: not every shared account include that. Some of them comming without PHP and MySQL.

For the beginners who don't want to start with free hosting it is always a good option to choose shared hosting. You can have a package according to your budget. One thing to be careful is that you have to optimize the resources you need which will help you to stay away from overselling. Pros you listed always depend on the provider.
