I think i get how to setup the local machine, including the multiwallet. Im at a loss however on the remote machine.

But what i seem to read everywhere is a 1 vps = 1 node setup, which to me seems more than expensive once nodecount picks up.

Looking at this thread i read instances where multiple nodes are run from a single adres:port(multiwallet my guess). So my question would be, is it only possible to run single nodes on single VPS's? Or can multiple nodes be installed on a single server without having to resort to VM?

Truly saying, I am sure 1 vps = 1 node is the correct approach when it comes to network stability.
But practically several wallets could be run from the same vps. Even in case of LIMX, where the port is fixed, that is possible: you can use different data dirs for each instance on the vps, and specify different ports in the limecoinx.conf (port=xxxx) for each wallet instance. This will allow you to run several wallets at the same time, without port conflicts.

Now, you cannot actually start MN on that vps, just because it will complain about the wrong port. To be able to start those MNs, you have to use "hot wallet - cold wallet" method (where you keep the actual coins in the remote machine, and operate the MN from there, while running MN with empty wallet on a vps). On the "cold" wallet (on remote machine), you can specify 8886 in the limecoinx.conf, so it will allow you to start MN.
