There are some advantages of a shared hosting over a un-managed vps. Main thing is usually you get cPanel which is lot easier to work with also you don't have to install and configure the server. Second thing is you get full support unlike with free vps where you don't get providers support for installing and configuring that. So if someone have a 1 small website using shared hosting is the best way till it really need s a vps.
