Shared hosting is a little more restricted in some areas compared to the VPS. VPS users have root access to server, they can start/stop/restart services, install any software, any service, any version and modify entire server configuration (on Private JVM users can modify Tomcat configuration but not the node server configuration). On VPS you can host as many domains as can be handled by your plan while on Shared hosting it’s one domain per account. Shared hosting on the other hand is a great solution for those that do not wish to handle their own server installation, configuration or management and want to have key-in-the-hand, everything setup and ready to use. Shared hosting also comes with free professional control panel Ensim ProX while VPS can still install Open Source Webmin panel.
