VPS is the acronym for a virtual private server and it stands for allocating specific resources (like CPU, RAM, and disk space) to your websites, this is why VPS hosting plans are performant, and they are not as cheap as shared hosting.
III. Managed Hosting:
from its name "Managed", this kind of hosting is more intended for non-technical persons where your host provider takes care of your WordPress website such as maintenance and updates instead of you. They have invested in top-notch security measures to keep your space safe, your websites on managed hosting will be hosted either on VPS or shared hosting, it depends on your budget.
