What's the difference between shared hosting and VPS?

I have a website and there about 10 users at the same time on the website which slows my website at the time. Now am considering upgrading my shared hosting account to VPS hosting. But am wondering if that will make any difference. Please What's the difference between shared hosting and VPS?

Shared hosting vs VPS
These are some of the key differences:
1. A VPS hosting plan is almost always going to be faster than a shared hosting plan simply because your users don’t have to queue up with other sites’ visitors to access yours.
2. There are numerous websites in a shared hosting environment that might possibly overwhelm the server. Since a VPS is hosted in its own environment, you don't have to worry about other accounts interfering with your site's access.
3. VPS hosting is often more expensive than shared hosting since the cost of shared hosting is divided among the numerous users of the shared server. VPS hosting has more resources and is more dependable, hence it is frequently more expensive. VPS hosting options provide additional premium features such as better performance and online business customizations.
4. If you have 10,000 visitors per month on average, a shared host will be able to sustain that amount of traffic. A shared hosting package, on the other hand, may not be able to keep up as your website expands and grows. Although shared servers have limitations in terms of their capacity to sustain rising workloads, VPS hosting plans offer almost limitless potential in this regard.

Hey there!
In the world of web hosting, shared hosting is a form of service in which numerous websites are hosted on a single server. A virtual private server, sometimes known as a VPS, is a virtual computer that may run a variety of operating systems. It is, in essence, a server with its own operating system installed. When required, shared hosting translates hardware resources from one customer to another, but virtual private servers (VPSs) provide you complete control over your virtualized hardware resources.
Thank you...

Shared hosting and VPS are two ways to rent server space on a web host, or company that rents out server space on which you can store your website. There are pros and cons to each method, and it's important to understand the differences before selecting one for your website.

When you use a shared hosting service, you're renting space on a server that is shared by other users. In some cases, all of the users of the server are on one account, and in others, several websites might be sharing one server. For example, if you have an up-and-coming blog that isn't getting much traffic yet, you might want to share hosting with another site or sites.

On the other hand, VPS stands for virtual private server. This means that you have your own space on a server that is not shared with others. The difference between shared hosting and VPS is very similar in concept to the difference between living in an apartment complex versus living in your own house. You still have neighbors (other websites), but they don't intrude on your space because you have a wall (a specific server) between them.

The most obvious difference between shared hosting and VPS is price: the cost of VPS hosting is more than that of shared hosting, but less than that of a dedicated server.
