Unless you are running continuous load, the $4 PHP shared hoster is probably more powerful than $5 VPS.

I know some shared PHP host that cost $8/year and have larger memory_limit than the available RAM in $5 VPS.

memory_limit is the upper bound you "allow" PHP to allocate. You can allocate more than the available RAM, and have your OS swap or PHP crash.

Pretty much every shared host I had to work with (I've been freelancing for a few years), have been terrible, except for two platforms, both of them were expensive and aimed at particular PHP software.
