No, you won't make more than a few sats per day, period. Even if the VPS provider will allow you to mine on their servers, the costs are very high and the reward is only a few sats per day.

Yes, you'd need a million of full servers to even come close to the smallest BTC ASIC miner. It would cost you millions per month to earn a single bitcoin after a while. Get a USB miner or something.

Nothing. The miner output is processed and submitted to the pool youre mining to. Your shares are calculated by the pool which will share the earnings with you. But if you're not mining on specialized hardware strictly for Bitcoin mining, you will not earn one cent.

You just let Cgminer run forever. Until its not longer profitable for you to do so i suppose.

I would suggest you get a cheap usb miner or one of those fancy u3 antminers, or if you like wasting electricity, going with an s1 antminer. Profit is impossible without an Antminer S7 or Avalon 6, and even those probably won't roi, much less survive block halving. If your electricity is cheap, like 0.05$/kwh, you could use a cheap miner and still get shit. Not much, but maybe.

You would be looking at a minimal income. I would cruise ebay and buy yourself some bitmains at 60 a pop and make some changes on the side that way. That's what I do I make about 0.02/day

It would not be cgminer with VPS's.   Most likely it's cpuminer you run, but Virosa is right it just is not worth it.  VPS's even if very expensive chances are can make more doing other things than mining CPU coins.

The day's of CPU mining are just over.   Might you make a little if "free" .... yes but were talking about very small amounts.  Not enough to interest most people.  VPS mining did not last very long.... it was a really fun type of mining but did not last long at all.

ahh. the good old days. I remember those. I used to run with a old pentium m cpu but it kept overheating. I probably only mined 3-4 bitcoin from that, and I blew it on gambling. Never doing THAT again  Smiley

I stick with VPS minining was one of the funnest and fastest types of mining there were.   I mean at one point of time it was profitable to have a EC2 instance with nice VPS.  But miners went so fast it did not stay profitable for long.  CPU coins difficulty skyrocketed with VPS usage.  I can't even remember the name of the alt coin's I mined at the time it was so quick.

Now day's even with a free VPS you are talking about very small gains with cpu mining.   So quite the show of how quick we can go through technology.
