VPS hosting is a virtual private server and it's a shared environment. Let us go ahead and explain the benefits and drawbacks in detail:
Benefits of VPS Hosting:
You're sharing a server with other sites, which means that you're not responsible for maintaining the hardware (or paying for it). You also don't have to worry about security issues that's the job of the host.
With VPS hosting, you can set up multiple accounts for different users on your server. This allows you to keep track of who does what and when.
Drawbacks of VPS Hosting:
Because you're sharing resources with others, you may experience a slowdown in performance if someone else's website starts using too much memory or processing power. If this happens often enough (or at all), your site could be shut down by your host.
If any of these drawbacks sound like they might be deal breakers for you, then dedicated servers are probably not the best choice for you. You can try something else.
