Wow thanks for the replies, I didn't expect so many. I try to answer everyone in one post.
I gave a look at serverpilot, but I do not understand what it does... I can't find screenshots, guides, anything...
Basically serverpilot installs in your place a server in digitalocean with serverpilot panel? It is not like Cpanel?
Preferably wordpress, and to you remains only to monitor the server?
In this case, I need more autonomy.
My sites for work requiring substantially only php, mysql and cronjob.

Not sure what you mean by "I have not had very different results from a hosting". What difference did you expect?

I have only done a test, I took all the sites that I had in a hosting service, and I put them on digitalocean. Was hoping for a substantial performance and visits increase, but I did a test with a hosting that worked, was sufficient for the hosted sites, and then, not much has changed.
This time is different, I want to move to digitalocean my vps

why not get a fully managed VPS?
|
For a lot of reasons, in all the vps that I have purchased from several vendors, I always had some problem, eg: database limitations, entry processes restrictions, cpu limitations, malfunctions, etc etc etc.
Lately this problem "Mysql-open-file-limit-100000"
https://gfy.com/webmaster-q-and-fucki...-100000-a.html.
The last one I purchased on hawkhost every so often decides to do something that consumes all the cpu (normal operation of my sites consumes about 10% of the cpu) and restrict all of my sites and no one can explain why.
This creates a lot of problems to google
When for an period, my vps worked properly, my sites also arrived at the 20000, 30000, or 50000 visits a day, now 2000-3000, and when they start to increase something breaks...
and I'm pretty sure that is not a problem of my sites consumption of resources because in the last few years I have changed 4-5 vps from different providers and it is always some different bullshit that creates problems.

you still need some knowledge about linux and server management?

I have some knowledge about linux and server management, use the linux desktop on all my pc's for years and I did some testing with digitalocean, I have not found big obstacles or problems.
I can install apache, php and mysql etc, the one that I don't know is for example if it is worthwhile to install varnish or not from the point of view of the server.
In the sense that it definitely brings benefits to the sites, but maybe, varnish use a lot of resources or consumes too much cpu...
I really need this type of advice to set up a server.
I am afraid of some problems or particular errors that the server may have (ex: "Mysql-open-file-limit 100000"), but also with the managed vps they have never come to a solution.
I always open a ticket in support and:
The first responses to the ticket are always: buy more resources and give me more money.
The next are: will it be a problem of the code please contact your developer (me).
Then usually respond with some bullshit to take time.
Then comes an idiot who doesn't want to read all of the ticke and still responds to: buy new services, please contact the developer.
And usually at this point I send them to hell.
The assistance is only for simple things, for particular problems do not have the desire or ability to find a solution. Or at least, I never found one that was able to solve serious problems.
The only real solution is always to change vps, and hope that in the new vps, everything is working.
Often I even found myself the solution, but I have not been able to apply because I did not have the necessary access or permissions of the server, and also suggesting to support have done nothing.
Of this, what do you think CentOS Web Panel | Free Linux Web Hosting Control Panel Always thinking from the server side.
To me it looks not bad, I used it in my tests and in general I have not had any major problems.
But maybe it consumes too many resources, or some gap? Es. suPHP, is it good or not? I don't know ...
There is also a support, forum, tickets, etc., even if this tends to send often to the paid service. However, you can pay only when you need it.
Sorry if I have dwelt. Thanks for the replies.
