hello

how do I access this account threw a web browser ?

You can't. The best you can do is to periodically make backups of the wallet and keep those on your computer.

what about making a new account on the block chain site I keep hearing about
then transferring all my funds to it
would it be more secure then in my VPS running the core ?

you can have a bitcoin address on a plate such as p ,b,y net

No. That would be less secure because you are trusting an online service to provide you both a consistent api and to hold onto your Bitcoin. You could wait until the next release of Bitcoin Core, which should be out in a month or two, which will only require you to make one backup of your wallet.

Or you could use Electrum which also only requires you to make one backup of the wallet. In this way, if your server were to unexpectedly go down, you still have the wallet backup locally so you can restore the wallet and be able to spend the Bitcoin.

If you decide to use Electrum and your site is only accepting payments (never sending), then I highly recommend that you actually use a watching only wallet on the server. This means that you create the wallet on your computer, then from that wallet you create a watching only version. Then you use that watching only version on the server. A watching only wallet doesn't have private keys, but it can still give out addresses and monitor those addresses. This protects you from a hacker breaking into your server and stealing the Bitcoin because the private keys required to spend the Bitcoin are not on the server.

I think just wait for the new core

I agree with this ^^^^^^^  This is the best way you can do things.  My I suggest that you get another wallet also just so you can be better protected?  I have a few wallets myself and I feel more secure like this.

I do have 2 wallets actually but im only using one
not all that much money there at the moment $300-400
just feels risky to have it all locked up on a VPS

Its better to transfering it in other wallet instead like electrum better to transfer it there. make back of you bitcoin core is always safe.. but if you want online wallet you can choose blockchain.. as your online wallet..

If the wallet is encrypted you could use a sync software and link it to your computer or to a cloud storage, It risks a bit of security but if you wallets encrypted then it's worth it to have a clone that's always synced, I do it across 3 computers all 3 are perfect clones

just backup your wallet.dat , if you loose the hdd files you can re-sync new Qt wallet and replace your new wallet.dat with your backup.
or you can use mycellium wallet to import key, so you can see each transaction of your wallet

until now I think there is no way, unless you are using an online wallet services such as blockchain.info that can be opened via the browser. My suggestion import your wallet from vps to online wallet of blockchain, with it you can open the wallet from the browser. Thank you

You can use an online wallet service, I think it is much safer than using your core vps bitcoin wallet for online security you can enable this feature using the security provided as 2FA.
