Not quite. With all these solutions, you're paying for:
1 Your share of the hardware
2 Your share of the sysadmining costs
3 Your share of electricity and physical space
4 Your usage of bandwidth,
Now, let's compare:
Virtual hosting: costs 1,2,3 very small because they are shared among many
people using the same server (hundreds or even thousands
users per machine).
Cost 4 is relatively low because with virtual hosting
you're typically assumed to be a relatively small site.
Dedicated server: costs 1,2 are zero, cost 3 high, cost 4 high
VPS: costs 1,2,3 relatively high because shared among only a few
(probably not more than 10) clients. Cost 4 high.
So I don't understand why you claim that VPS should cost between Virtual
hosting and Dedicated hosting. In fact, according to my analysis above it
should be the most expensive solution, because costs of all type are high.
