Before you can choose between a VPS hosting and a shared host, you must know what is the basic difference between the two. VPS (Windows VPS or Linux VPS) is virtual private server where users get a virtual server that they can use in any way they like. You can personalize it, install programs, delete programs and do whatever you want without affecting any other customer. You own your virtual server. Shared hosting is a bit complicated and it involves multiple users. You cannot customize anything because you share server with other users. Shared hosting is not too secure. You cannot install or remove any program.

There has been a lot of debate on the internet about the differences between VPS and shared hosting. VPS, whether it be Windows VPS or Linux VPS or any other has clearly a lot of benefits as compared to shared hosting.
Users prefer to have VPS since it is more flexible, easy to use and is more secure than shared hosting. The best thing about VPS is that it carries an operating system, and thus users can easily manage to add and remove any programs they want. They can personalize their virtual private server quite easily. On the other hand, shared hosting does not carry all these features.
