Shared hosting is a best solution for many sites because it reduces the cost substantially, but there are few pitfalls with it. There is a chance that your website's CPU, disk space or bandwidth gets affected by other sites hosted on the same server along with your site until or unless your website is small as for small sites these resource issues do not create problems. Second negative thing with shared hosting is its lack of system-level control given to the user. You may not be allowed to control different important things like system software and scripts.

VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server hosting) is the solution to all of these weaknesses coming with shared hosting. If you are living with such annoying situation, you should ask your host to use VPS for your hosting. VPS is actually a single server but further divided into multiple "virtual machines" by using specific software. The server's resources - like RAM, disk space, and others - are always shared there, but each VPS has its own separate allocation and user, owning it, can operate it fully and independently.

You are independent to run scripts or software and install any other operating system without affecting other virtual servers on the same machine. You can install or delete any software, create accounts, set permissions; all you are doing as you want and more effectively. This is almost the same abilities you get with a dedicated server, but in much low-cost.

Disadvantages of VPS hosting
All the disadvantages of VPS hosting are associated with the advantages it gives. As you are given full control over the system, so there are open chances that you can create troubles if you do not know what actually you are doing like by deleting vital files mistakenly, setting permissions wrongly, creating security vulnerabilities and many other; all this is possible if you are not careful. If you cannot do server administration yourself and it is challenging for you to learn it, you must either find anybody to do this job for you or contact a host who can manage the server for you.
