Does it matter share host or cloud host?

So I see no case where shared hosting would be better if you know how to manage a VPS since the prices nowadays are very similar.

Ivo - if someone is asking you the difference between shared hosting and VPS - why would you even talk about managing a VPS yourself?

Jonhsame - unless you are going to dedicate some weeks or months of study to how to set up and manage a server - do not try and manage a server by yourself. Do your homework and find a reputable hosting company - set up the account and start building. Let them worry about keeping the servers running. Spend your time on learning coding and building your applications. If you are building an application or website that will be getting heavy traffic you need a fully managed VPS. Otherwise starting with shared hosting is perfectly acceptable. Generally hosting companies will have a 'reseller' account for a few dollars more then shared hosting - thats usually the best bargain in terms of price /performance.

Oh -- very very very important. Make sure the hosting company supports Lets Encrypt https://letsencrypt.org
As in they have automatic one click installation and then automatic renewal for lets encrypt. Even if you don't need SSL right now, you will need it at some point and lets encrypt is free and will become the default ssl choice very soon.
