A VPS server is literally split into as many parts as there are users. If there are 10 users, 10GB of RAM and 200GB of hard drive spave on the server, each user will be able expend 1GB of RAM and 20GB of space. Once you hit the RAM limit your site may go down, but the others will remain stable. The hypervisor is the one responsible for managing the virtual machines that create this separation within the server.
This simple addition removes almost all of the bad neighbour effect. Extremely rarely there can be some issues which affect multiple users by affecting the hypervisor itself, but this isn’t something you need to worry about.

Dedicated hosting is the hosting service that negates all bad neighbour issues because you are all alone on a server. This provides a host of benefits, but also comes with quite a few downsides.
Since you get a computer all on your own, many companies allow you to customise it extensively. You may be able to choose the amount and type of memory, the OS to install, and other hardware elements that make up a computer. This gives you a lot of flexibility which may be needed for some specialised software.

Cloud hosting is essentially the same as VPS hosting. Some companies don’t even call their service VPS anymore, the say Cloud or Cloud VPS.

Cloud based computing is similar to how utilities work. If I plug my video camera into the mains I can use it as much as I need and it will take as much power as it requires at the moment. If it is on standby it will use very little power, when it is recording it will use a lot more but the electric system can handle the changes in power requirements.
Cloud based hosting allows you to use the resources of multiple servers in a network. This makes it even more scalable, in addition to providing a host of additional benefits, mainly based around security.
