VPS is always recommended solution for business houses because of more better performance and reliable hosting option as compared to shared hosting.

What about a Cloud VPS? Beats shared hosting and traditional VPS.

thrit is still alot of people that need educated on cloud as even if you google it you will find various different meanings etc., which causes confusion.
thier is not a constant meaning to this

Thier is a BIG price difference between shared and VPS
shared costs from $0.50 and thats all expenses
VPS costs from $5 then you have the cost of control panel/script installers/security software etc.
1. Vps are easily scalable this really is a mute point. If you need more resources its only a click away.
2. Until the san goes poof which happens much more often than people think.
3. It has been a bit since I actually compared cloud to vps in resources given per $ paid but as far as I see cloud is still too expensive. It also depends what exaxt cloud we are even talking about lol.
$5 and either learn how to actually use your server which is the best option or use a free panel don't need to use paid. Personally I would never pay less than $20 for a VPS.

Whether this document works or not, is subjective.
For instance our Shared Servers have multiple hex-core processors with NginX, Varnish-Cache & Apache, 32GB or more of memory, with various DDoS and Brute Force avoidance technologies.
I would say that unless you need some software or technology not offered by such servers that you don't need a VPS, as access to such technology can be yours for much less than via a VPS.
If you want to do your own system administration, then yes, a VPS is a superior offering, but if you don't, you should avoid VPSs.
I can say that the number of VPS owners who get themselves into a mess and need an admin to help them get their machine functional again after a "do it yourself" gone wrong, greatly exceed the amount of support tickets for shared/reseller services despite the number of shared customers being hundreds of times higher, as they are administered by supported by an experienced NOC team, who've set every up as it should be.
You are right though, that VPS is a progression from Shared/Reseller hosting, as often when a shared site gets too popular and takes "too much" share of a shared server we do encourage the site owner to "upgrade" to a VPS.
But if a site is so popular that it needs this kind of upgrade the customer often wants a manged service as the service has become too precious to "DIY".
