If you are just starting out with your store and do not have any experience with VPS, it may be better to go for web hosting, such as Bluehost, HostGator, and SiteGround, as it is less expensive and easier to use.

Shared web hosting is when you are renting storage space on a server, sharing it with other clients. Normally it would cost far less then a vps.
VPS is when you are renting storage space with more resources dedicated to you (virtual processor, virtual memory, etc.). Usually it will cost more and will be harder for you to manage: you will need to know what you are doing. You will need to know about Linux, Servers, Networks etc.
If you are just starting, go for a shared hosting. It will cost less and you will have someone managing the server for you (Your hosting provider).

What about cloud hosting I found it cheaper and better than web hosting?

If you're asking this question then you might want to have a look at Shopify and not have to worry about server management.

You need a theme regardless. WooCommerce is great but you need to know what you are doing and you end up managing your own backed. Do you really want to care about using a VPS? Keeping WooCommerce up to date and making sure it and all of your plugins stay up to date and don't break? How about security and locking down WordPress from attackers?

After rnd I end up that I don’t need vps though I can go with cloud hosting, my concern was about concurrent users and I found good in cloud hosting of nestify pro 4-6 users, shopify was also in my option but I didn’t explore dig into it. As per you, security is major issue with this other platform than shopify? (Pardon for my bad English )

shopify is good, rest you can buy any good reliable shared hosting and use e-commerce software, there are many available for free too which you can use and install, and if your hosting has auto script installer, it can help you with installing the script easily too, as i think you dont have much technical knowledge so creating a new database and user might be an issue for you, so auto script installer can be good, kindly make sure that the hosting you choose have it.
