I think if you have a running application, especially you build, you should better have a private environment, not shared environment, especially shared hosting. Except you have the shared hosting infrastructure managed by yourself, that much better.
maybe some say it's costly to have a private environment than a shared environment, but the cost vs security is never equal. The solution is, go with VPS , and learn how to manage your VPS yourself. or use a secured shared hosting environment. just my 2 cents...
