In fact, I think most people on shared hosting are <i>not</i> hosting static sites, but rather sites based on one or more of the hundreds of PHP application frameworks out there (WordPress, PHPBB, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, MediaWiki, etc, etc.)<p>Back when I used to do frequent freelancing for the type of client who used shared hosting, I don&#x27;t think I met a single one who hosted static sites, even though for many of them static would have been more appropriate and far more secure and performant.
