VPS is really suited for www. I still have to figure out how to setup a staging area. Do I go with another VPS server for that or not? Ideally there would be another machine hosting the sites so they are still accessible when the other VPS goes down. I haven't really researched this yet, but it's on my to do list.
I have one VPS running nginx with named-based virtual hosts. I use projectname.mydomain.com for staging and www.projectname.com for production.
If you have the money for multiple www servers, then you might want to set up a load balancer that can detect a dead www server and stop routing packets to it.
I guess you access your VPS servers also via SSH only then?
Yes. David
