If you're going to mine on a VPS, make sure that the seller of the VPS allows mining or doesn't have anything against it in their TOS. Your vps can easily be cancelled if there's rules against mining with your service- I learned that the hard way mining some CPU coins with a Xeon VPS. The good news was that the VPS had only a few days left but I had no use for it at that point so I figured I might as well.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to be careful when doing cryptocurrency mining on a VPS. It would be quite interesting to see what results I would achieve by mining Monero on it, at least for a year. Even if it wouldn't be profitable to mine on the VPS, I would try it for fun and learning.
Nevertheless, if you happen of any good VPS providers, please let me know by sending a PM. I was going to try Digital Ocean but prices seem a little bit high for the specs provided on their VPS plans.
