I've never really understood what VPS is? Is it type of reseller plan? or Is it a dedicated or semi-dedicated server?

Anyone would explain to me what VPS is?

VPS is a truly isolated and private environment. You get root access, your own software. You can even "reboot" it.

From an administration point of view, it is very close to a dedicated server.

Arca said what i would have said its a virtual private server and you get root access and everything, they cost more than resellers though.

If its not dedicated server then how can we reboot it. There may be others hosted on the same server? Or I'm getting it wrong?

it's somewhere in between but it nears semi-dedicated server, you are like 5 or 10 of you hosted on a server partitioned by a software called virtuozzo. once you have the software you can offer vps services convenient for you when it comes to setup/administration and convenient for your clients as well.

Are you sure you can reboot it?

yes, usually most vps offer a trouble ticket just for reboot requests, but you can also buy the optional remote reboot where you can login to reboot your vps just in case you can't access it via ssh.
