I think, the first thing you need to know what you want... a managed VPS or an unmanaged one. For unmanaged VPS, I'd recommend Amazon Cloud over Digital Ocean. For managed VPS, I'd recommend http://besthostfree.com/vps-hosting.html. As evident from the following thread, a lot of people on this forum has used this service as well...

I am going to stake POS coins. I am not sure which type of VPS should I opt.. managed or unmanaged? what difference does it make to run multiple wallets mainly for staking? Appreciate your info.


Managed = LAMP stack is ready + Security settings are ready... Mostly like shared hosting, but you have root access and boot ability. Can add resources on the go.

Unmanaged = You get a clean space with only OS. Do everything yourself.

In my understanding, if you have no previous experience with Managed VPS, you wont be able to handle an Unmanaged one. You would be forced to hire someone and ultimately be under his control.
