Hi!
I think private SSL is when you have SSL problem in your company name, shared one is one in your host's name which they share among their customers.

Normally you need to pay small amount of fee, then you can use your web host's certificate. Like this in shared SSL certificate your Website URL look like this secure.yourdomain.com/~username which is not look so professional.

Dedicated or Private SSL
In Dedicated SSL you must buy your own certificate. Here your identity is individual verified and with dedicated SSL you get your domain name on the certificate not your web hosting company name. Here you have your own dedicated IP address to run SSL server. As compare to shared, dedicated SSL certificate is expensive. Nevertheless, you are in charge of your security.
