Are you referring to shared webhosting?

Because if so, there's quite a few drawbacks. You're generally not in any sort of scalable setup, no high availability, you're on a shared box with other customers, you are susceptible to IO constraints on the shared disks, etc. You're still going to need a database of some sort for most applications....

As you describe acceptable use-case for 99% of all projects.
