Difference between Shared Hosting and VPS Hosting
The term cloud hosting or computing can be defined in several ways. To respond to this question and contrast the two services, I’ll define cloud hosting as a utility where a cloud service vendor provides a virtual machine instance that does not have fixed computing attributes. While there may be a minimum or maximum size configuration for the server, the virtual machine computing configuration can grow or shrink dynamically dependent on the resources requested by the application. The billing method for the resources is based on usage over a period of time for the CPU, RAM, HD, and Network.
VPS or managed virtual servers are delivered as a traditional managed server although running as a virtual server, typically in a multi-tenant environment. The customer will order the server with fixed attributes and alter those attributes manually, when necessary. Vendors will typically price this service as individual components associated with the machine or as a service bundle and the resources are guaranteed to be available.
Both services have a place dependent on need, environment, application and supporting IT team.
1. The website security
shared hosting means your site shares a single server with other dozens of sites. Your site is very easily threatened if other site on the same server is hacked. VPS hosting doesn't exist this kind of issue.
2. The website performance
The performance of a website on shared hosting is easily affected by other websites. VPS hosting offers a vritualized CPU, memory, disk, so the performance of website on VPS hosting is more better than shared hosting.
3. The server customization
Shared hosting offers a default server configuration which doesn't allow to modify. But you can change any server configuration on VPS hosting as much as needed.

Shared hosting means sharing a server – and it’s resources – with other sites; that’s bandwidth, storage… the lot. VPS hosting creates a virtual environment that imitates a dedicated server (where you get a server, and all its resources, to yourself), but within a shared hosting environment.
Another way to get your head around the difference is to think of them like renting property:
With Shared hosting, you ‘share’ space on a server with other websites. It’s like renting a room in a shared house – you’ve got your own little area, but you’re part of a larger communal space.
Shared hosting is the cheapest type there is. It’s got its benefits, but naturally, things can get a little cramped at times.
VPS hosting is where you have more than just one slice of a server. This can be thought of like renting a flat in a building block – more rooms, more space, more flexibility, and a little more expensive. You have a greater level of control, but you’re still operating within a shared server with others.
Generally, Shared hosting is for static websites – in other words, websites with fixed content that doesn’t change, no matter who visits it. Shared hosting is best for basic personal sites, like blogs, and for startups. You don’t get a wealth of features, ironclad security, or ultra-fast loading speeds, but then again, you don’t really need all that.
VPS hosting is a step up, and ideal for small businesses, online stores, and larger personal sites. You’ll see an increase in features, security and performance, all for a very reasonable rise in cost.
VPS hosting is also great if you’re looking to grow your site. Think of it as an investment – you want to pick a plan that matches your ambitions, not just one for the here-and-now.

In a shared hosting environment, there are number of accounts hosted on a single server, sharing the primary node’s resources as per the allocation. On the other hand, VPS hosting is like your server in which the funds allocated virtually.

VPS is a virtual private service that provide dedicated server space and IP address for hosting. It provide more security compared to shared hosting services.
A shared hosting plan hosts multiple accounts on a single dedicated IP address. They are usually used to save costs and space for hosting. Shared hosting is not very recommendable as they do not provide data security as the same space and IP address is shared between multiple clients.

Simply put, shared hosting means your site will share the same server as many other sites. It's usually the cheapest option but comes with limited bandwidth, administration, and performance capabilities. VPS hosting is a more premium option, with the ability for greater customization and increased performance.
