Assuming the same hardware allocation, a server will always be slightly more efficient than a VPS. But virtualisation software has become very good in recent years; the difference is no longer massive.

The advantage VPS has over shared hosting is that if someone else's application brings their VPS down then it doesn't affect yours. In shared hosting, one person can bring down a whole server full of applications.

The advantage VPS has over a dedicated server is purely price.
