I once ran mw 1.19 in 2013 or before under the shared hosting service,
since at that moment I was fully n00b about git, php(I'm still newbie when
it comes to coding), and mariadb/mysql.
Not everybody who is using mediawiki is tech-savvy like they know how to
execute shell commands, how to secure their VM/Container against various
attacks, etc etc <any unexpected/technical problems here>.
PS. I'm not using shared hosting now. My Linode VPS is running Ubuntu 14.04
LTS as of today, and I'm not going back to the shared hosting.

I've created this task on the topic of shared
hosting:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113210 as a proposal for the upcoming
Wikimedia Developer Summit.
If anyone on this list is currently running mediawiki on a shared hosting
platform, I would really like to hear from you on that topic, either on the
list or on that phabricator task. So far all the discussions on that
subject I've seen seemed to be done "on behalf" of people relying on those
platforms, and I have yet to hear direct testimonies and opinions from
people who are running mediawiki that way.
The main questions I have for people in that situation are whether there
are blockers for them to move to more modern vm-based or container-based
hosting platforms, or if they prefer to stay on shared hosting for specific
reasons, etc. Basically, tell us why you're on shared hosting for your
mediawiki install(s).
