What are the similarities and differences between VPS and web hosting?

A VPS is a house you buy, and a virtual host is a house you rent. The house you buy has property rights, and every brick and tile belongs to you. In addition to buying a house, you need space and put things. Also buy control. The color of the wall, several toilets, suspended ceilings, chandeliers, kitchen, how to change how you like. The rented house has no property rights. Every brick and tile belongs to the landlord. What you rent is a space to store things, and what you rent is living facilities. I painted the walls and changed the toilet myself, but the landlord did not agree. No control. Control is not always a good thing, and not everyone needs to have control over the house. Control sometimes means having to control, and the controller has the responsibility and obligation to maintain it. Buying a house to decorate, suitable for people with money and time. With VPS, it is suitable for people with budget, time, and skills to configure and maintain by themselves. There are also disadvantages to renting a house. For example, if you rent together, you may have trouble with other tenants. You have no right to decide who the house is rented to or not. The landlord has the final say, so you can only hope that the tenants are civilized and good young people. In case the tenant has second-hand goods, it will affect your quality of life. The same is true with virtual hosts. You can't decide who is on the same server. If a neighbor loves to play free downloads, it will affect your website. The house you buy or rent may be in a commercial building or in a villa community, it doesn't matter. Both have to share resources, parking lots, plumbing, gyms, etc. with other homeowners and tenants. A commercial building or a villa community is a physical server. VPS or virtual host, must share (compete) physical server resources, CPU, memory, disk.
