The CPU mining won't even pay for its electricity usage. Are you sure you want to do this?

$5 electricity for every 25 cents profit. You decide.

That 25 cents will take a week to generate as well. That's only about 12 dollars a year. Obviously the load and service load disruption to the server and anyone using it and your violating the terms of usage by the vps provider or data centre that looks after it and so on are all well worth the 25 cents you'll be earning in profit. Either way, you're not going to get many people keen to help you set this up...

I'm sure there are plenty of more useful uses you can get for that server instead of cpu mining which is a waste.

You'll be best mining for litecoin with a CPU as it's designed for CPU mining.  You can then trade your LTC for bitcoins, hoard them or use them.  Follow these instructions - http://www.litecoinpool.org/help

It's a waste of electricity even if it doesn't cost you anything.

Please put some considerations to mother nature  :-[

Stop wasting everyones time. CPU mining is not profitable unless your a botnet.
