VPS just gives you a Virtual Private Server for $25/month (including daily, weakly and monthly backups). You can install one of the many images they provide (like Ubuntu or any of the TurnKeyLinux appliances). On Ubuntu installing and configuring a full apache/ postresql/postfix/web2py just requires running /web2py/scripts/setup- web2py-ubuntu.sh
They have a slider on the admin web site that lets you change the size of the virtual machine. They have API that allows you partition it and spawn more instances.I did not use these features. It is similar to Amazon but simpler (not S3, no SimpleDB) and much faster to deploy/administer.
