Looking to host multiple small sites, all that can be hosted with shared hosting. Thinking of going VPS so I can host them all under one account (assuming I can). However, I have little to no knowledge on this setup and looking for info and what I'd be getting myself into. I have used several shared hosting providers in the past.
1. Can I host several sites with VPS? (Assuming I can, just to be sure). These are small and load balancing should not be an issue.
2. What, if any, maintenance is required with VPS? Am I responsible for security? What about updates? I have some Linux command line experience as I have servers at home so this doesn't scare me but I may not know all the best security hacks. Plus I can't babysit the server, but I don't mind dealing with it on a twice-weekly basis.
3. Anything else that I need to know or any holes I'm risking falling into?
TIA
