The H color rating offers great value, as it is not one of the expensive premium color grades D-F. At the same time, it's a whiter stone than the bottom color rating of J, which means it's a great compromise between quality and budget, allowing you to get more in the other Cs of diamonds such as carat size. An untrained eye won't notice the color unless the stone is held up against a higher color grade diamond.
VS stands for Very Slightly Included - this VS2 diamond has some minor inclusions that may or may not be easy to see under 10x magnification, but almost never are visible with the naked eye - although it can happen on the odd occasion. Typically this is the best value "safe" clarity rating for buying online without a photo - you can go to a lower clarity grading but then you really need to see a high quality photo of the diamond to assess the inclusions for yourself.
