The security of a website is dependent upon the decisions of the web host and the activities of its neighbors. As resources are shared, so a shared hosting entails cheaper costs than a VPS.
Majority of the websites are on shared servers. But VPS hosting would mean living in one's own private yard within a township. Here, no website has to share the troubles of its neighbors. The common area of sharing is the parking lot and the entrance. All the traffic has to pass through a common network port. One needs to pay more for a VPS, but he is free to do whatever he likes within the space allotted to him without facing the effects of his neighbors' problems.
VPS, though a bit more pricey that shared servers, would allow the webmaster to have greater control to install programs and configure them as per his needs with the option to reboot, backup and restore his VPS himself. One has the option to host multiple websites and add the domains himself. Only a webmaster can grant permission to others to access his accounts, files and databases. A particular website on a VPS remains unaffected by problems in other websites on the same server.
