Shared Hosting - In shared hosting multiple websites are hosted on a single server and they all share the same resources. In shared hosting, the website has access to only limited resources which may lead to website downtime.
VPS - In VPS hosting, the website is hosted on a shareable server, but it gets separate server space. The website also gets separate hosting resources that are not shared with any other website. This means, with VPS you get dedicated hosting services in a shared hosting environment, hence the name is Virtual Private Server. The website doesn't get short of resources in this case.
