You can even run a different OS from the other servers! That’s complete control over your server for a fraction of what you’d pay for dedicated hosting. With root access, you can customise your server and your resources. That’s because with VPS hosting, you get a private server that’s partitioned from all the other private servers, even though they’re all hosted on the same physical server. Just like dedicated hosting, most VPS hosting services grants you root access. You’ll never have to share server resources with any other site. If another website on the server suddenly finds itself needing more resources, that has nothing to do with your website. And these resources are allocated only to your site. When you choose VPS hosting, server resources like RAM, CPU and your OS are instantly allocated as soon as your server is up and running.

And if a big website suddenly experiences a traffic spike, this will suck resources from your website, causing it to slow down or even crash. When you have a shared hosting plan, your website is constantly battling for server resources.
