What is faster VPS or hosting?
I would definitely choose VPS, for the following reasons:
1. The influence of "neighbors" within the VPS (with the exception of individual cases) is much less likely than similar incidents when using Shared hosting (I will omit the details, because over the past 10+ years use and both types of services, hundreds of examples and cases have accumulated)
2. In most cases, there will be clearly more resources on VPS / VDS
3. You have the opportunity to abandon things that are unnecessary in most cases, for example, from Apache and install the necessary ones (for example, Memcached or PostgreSQL or ...), as well as customize the server "for yourself" in every sense of the word. In the framework of "regular hosting" this is in most cases not possible, because. the server is configured based on the "average temperature in the hospital", and not your specific tasks and requirements. Shared hosting is like a Swiss knife, and VPS is like a set of separate devices, which is much more convenient to use if you have the right skills.
If your skills allow you to correctly configure a VPS / server, the choice is obvious. If not, you have no choice as such. Although, sometimes, VPS hosters offer free assistance in transferring sites to a VPS purchased from them - I wouldn’t really hope for this, because. they require either a control panel, or simply install the software "according to the template", without particularly bothering with various parameters.
PS On the VPS, we made even such "very fat" CMS "fly" by fine-tuning the server for them. But remember that any "control panel" is a universal evil, they usually consume a whole lot of server resources and more often than not they do more harm than good. Even if it's a paid panel.

If you have a regular site or you are just starting your journey, take shared hosting. They are generally fast and good. You will need VPS when you need all the resources from the server and their isolation.
The hosting tariff can be faster than the VPS tariff for 200 rubles

As a person who directly works with hosting, I will share how it looks like for us.
Shared hosting - business plan (the most expensive) for 9 dollars:
control panel - Cpanel
CPU for php, nodejs and so on processes - 60% of one core on average, burst up to 400% (4 cores)
Memory on average 2GB burst up to 8GB
number of simultaneous processes - 40
Disk - guaranteed 50MB per second disk access, size 50GB.
The limits above do not include resources:
1 web server (apache / nginx process),
2 database resources, there are limits on the use of the database, but they are super humane, the IO of the database is practically not limited.
The webserver and the database are qualitatively optimized - the faster everything works, the more clients fit on 1 server.
Therefore, almost any conventional CMS like WordPress will work here faster than on a VPS without quality tuning)
And most importantly, backups and server health monitoring are done by the hoster 24/7.
VPS for $12
2 cores
2 GB memory
40 GB disk.
Here you configure everything yourself, in 2GB of memory you need to put the database, the Webserver, and the workflows (the same PHP)
Monitoring and backups are also your concern.
Z.Y. If you have read all this, then if you have a regular CMS without something super duper custom, then shared hosting will work faster and cheaper for you.

VPS if you can set it up as well as the hosting experts.

Look at your needs, tools and skills.
If you are weak in system administration, take hosting, the cost will be less.
However, to use, for example, laravel or any other framework, you will need a console, which is usually not provided in hosting.

And you need to look at those characteristics and the channel of the Internet connection, if we are talking about speed.

These are different services.
Still go and have different hosters????
If the question sounds like this: "how can I get more performance for less money" - then the answer lies not in choosing the type of hosting, but in your qualifications - but are you able to write / configure the system so that it does not slow down .
Do you mean "shared hosting or virtual hosting" vs "VDS hosting, aka virtual dedicated server, aka VPS hosting, aka virtual private server" The
question is meaningless. Tariffs are very different, not comparable.
Ceteris paribus, for the same money on the same hardware - VPS, hypothetically, should be cheaper for the hoster.
Because, in fact, "shared hosting or virtual hosting" is still the same VDS / VPS+ additional work of employees of the hosting company .
That is, "they do part of the work for you and take very little money for it" or "do everything yourself."
If you take VDS / VPS - then do everything yourself.
If your work is free and your competence allows, then yes, VDS/VPS will give you more opportunities for the same money.
However, such a ridiculous amount that the hoster's specialists charge for services (which is included in the tariffs) is ridiculous 50-200 rubles per month.
Hiring even a low-skilled specialist to do all the same settings will cost you an order of magnitude more.
But in fact, everything is not always so :
For the hoster pays a lot for the server, takes it in bulk at a low price.
And this allows, even having put your additional work there, to still sell shared / virtual even cheaper than VPS / VDS with the same performance as a result .
And on VIP-shared tariffs for a small surcharge - even faster.

As a rule, ceteris paribus, you will have more resources on shared hosting.
Yes, and the server will be configured by specialists.
It all depends on what level the resources are twisted for you.
Any of these services should be tested. No other way.

If such a question arose, then definitely hosting. Because:
1. You have no experience with vps, otherwise you yourself would know the answer to your question. Most likely, there is no server administration experience either.
2. Having no experience, you will spend a lot of time setting up vps, studying forums, etc., since you will set it up yourself, because you are looking at the cheapest options and you clearly have no desire to hire an administrator.

Of course, hosting is faster than vps, as it uses all server resources. For example, cores and disk ... Restrictions, as a rule, are on memory, for example, in iqhost.ru they give up to 1GB, which is very decent for any, even the most powerful site

a question from the category of which is better banana or coconut, it is obvious that any answer above is probably the same idiotic, let's
take a spherical horse in a vacuum
since the year is 2019, then we mean that disks are everywhere ssd and in general + are the same (this is an assumption), that is, we only fight in disks for volume, we compare hosting and VPS, somewhere on hosting they give terabytes, and somewhere on VPS 20 gigs, which is better, obviously where more gigs are given
Second RAM, since our application is not a game in general, we don’t care what kind of RAM it is ddr3 or ddr4, we will assume that it works for us in approximately the same way. That is, here we also simply compare in size, there are hostings with 128 gigs of RAM, and vps with 0.5 gigs of RAM and vice versa, we compare the size and get which is better in this parameter
well, the last thing is the processor, suppose we don’t care about heat dissipation and we don’t have super specific software that uses the latest versions of processor instructions, then it remains to compare the frequency and number of cores, we compare by this parameter multiplying the frequency by the number of cores and get some kind of spherical purely gigahertz in VPS or hosting, well, it also happens differently here and VPSs start with 1 single core at 2 GHz, and there are hostings that give 32 cores at 3 GHz.
Well, in general, this is approximately the correct answer in the form of a horse in a vacuum
