a VPS as I understand it is a share on a server which as far as the user

cannot do in most VPSs is install a new distro. One can upgrade to a new
release of the installed distro.
Not quite. VPSes, whether achieved using Paravirtualization (like Xen) or
using Compartmentalization (like OpenVZ) limits / binds one to the same
kernel but everything else above it can be changed. For instance, in
OpenVZ, it is possible to run fedora / ubuntu / centos / etc., all on the
same physical machine.
