I think the issue is I'm not sure which one to choose.  Because it several VMs or VPS as people have been calling it these days I believe I need to start with a new Web server that just handles this (I could be wrong) Most of the servers have their own way of handling thing and back-ends that rely on specific setups.  

I also have the most experience with Apache, which isn't saying much.  

I would really like to pick your brain sometime if you would be ok with that. I have several methods of direct communication.  Part of the difficulty of asking the question is unpacking it from my mind.
