Official statement

The type of hosting (shared, VPS, etc.) does not affect the efficiency or volume of crawling by default. Only actual performance matters: a hosting can be slow regardless of its type. It's the slowness itself that poses a problem, not the type of infrastructure.

TL;DR

Google states that the type of hosting does not impact crawling as long as performance is good. However, actual speed is what matters. A slow hosting remains an issue, regardless of its type.
