i recently got lifetime vps with 8gb ram and 8 cpu cores. is there any altcoins to mine that will be profitable and would there be any problem mining on vps. Thanks in advance. I am newbie here, sorry if i happened to post in wrong section or something. 
mainly it depends on the host provider if they allow mining or not best solution in your situation is to contact support of the hosting company before start mining to avoid account banning .
