The anything like php/tags/mysql and even standard web pages will time out if resources get limited.

A reseller account you tend NOT to have shell access and the totall server CPU/MEM can be hogged by someone running scripts, where a VPS is a single powerfull machine that is split between a few users, the VPS software then running on the server gives each user root access to thier own individual area and thier own resources. One user can NOT therefore use resources that another user wants to use.

In the end it's like having a dedicated server but which is slightly limited (for example you can't easily update the kernel..)
