Shared means you share a webserver with other shared accounts. IE it hosts your websites as well as others. <br /><br />Reseller you know<br /><br />VPS means you have the complete server to yourself. IE style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> but I hope it helps explain a bit <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--content-->
Ohhh I see, so it's like having 100's of servers but actually style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":clapping:" border="0" alt="clapping.gif" /><!--content-->
usually with VPS, each server is allocated a minimum and maximum resource, so say between 200mhz and 1500mhz, and between 128mb and 1gb memory...<br /><br />At a period when no servers have traffic, they will each have 200mhz and 128mb. When one server gets lots of traffic, his resource allocation increases, but others do not neccesarily decrease.<br /><br />The nub of it is that the sum of every servers resource equals the overall server resources (so 10 sites on a 2GHz server).<br /><br />The only time you will get slowdown is when 3 or 4 other sites have really high traffic at the same time. This is better than on a shared, were only one site can cause the whole set to slow down.<br /><br />More advanced VPS systems recognise the high traffic ones and lower there maximum resource so that other sites have somewhere to expand into.<!--content-->
