First you need to understand what is VPS Hosting and Shared Hosting?
In order to understand the complete difference between VPS and Shared hosting I had given a description below :-
VPS Hosting( Virtual Private Servers): VPS stands for Virtual Private Servers. VPS is an isolated server that share the hardware of a single physical server.You can see it as a small dedicated server because it uses its own disk space, RAM , IP address and it can also be rebooted independently. So,VPS performs like a stand-alone server where you can run your own applications. It acts exactly Like a Dedicated Server . VPS server can easily handle the load of medium level business web site.For this servers company is charging very low as compare to the dedicated server.
Shared Hosting ( Affordable Web hosting):Shared hosting is Web hosting in which may sites are hosted on a single server, so each account ends up “sharing” server space with other accounts. Although Shared hosting is a less expensive way for businesses to create a Web presence, it is usually not sufficient for Web sites with high traffic. Shared hosting is best for the normal websites and smaller ecommerce websites. If server gets rebooted for any reason, all the sites will get affected.
VPS Hosting vs Shared Hosting
VPS acts exactly like a Dedicated server, it is with your own resources whereas in a shared hosting environment the server resources are shared among all accounts on a server. In a shared hosting environment you don”t have the permission to use the features enabled by your provider whereas in a virtual isolated private environment you are free to disable/enable features suitable for your website. In VPS Server They are giving full root access to the clients. So if we compare VPS and Shared Hosting VPS Hosting is any time better than Shared Hosting but there is one major disadvantage of VPS when compared to a Shared hosting that is, you won’t be able to use more than the assigned resources with VPS. Whereas Shared hosting account gives you full freedom to utilize whole resources available on the server.
