The main thing you need to consider before you get your own VPS is what you really want: managed or unmanaged. Naturally unmanaged is cheaper but it also requires that you use the command line and ssh to setup and manage your VPS remotely. Debian 5 (Lenny) is the smallest footprint OS that will run WebDNA 7. Previously Debian Etch was the smallest but Debian stopped supporting Etch because it is old now, so it is no longer upgradeable and therefore I believe that it cannot be used with WebDNA 7 (I could be wrong about this but my efforts to get v7 running on Etch failed). Ubuntu is based on Debian so you won't find any major differences between the two except that Ubuntu is bigger and requires more server resources. CentOS and all the other Linux server OS's are bigger than Debian 5 too which is why Debian 5 is so popular as a server OS for small VPS's. Practically all VPS hosts offer Debian Lenny in one configuration or another, but some of the cheaper hosts offer only a stripped down version. If you end up with one of these stripped down versions it will require a lot of extra work because you'll need to install packages that WebDNA 7 needs but that were removed to make it so small ...

So most people will generally better off using the standard Debian 5 server package -- and following the instructions I posted here 7 months ago in July 2010 -- which I have repeated here for your convenience:
-------------------------
get a Debian 5 (Lenny) 32 bit VPS
open a console/terminal window then login to your VPS:
# ssh [username]@[ipaddress]
(enter password when requested)
update the currently installed Debian package:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
shut down apache then remove it along with its associated packages:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
# apt-get remove apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork
# apt-get remove apache2-utils apache2.2-common
download and install lighttpd:
# apt-get install lighttpd
download this zip file from WebDNA Software Corporation:
http://www.webdna.us/download/config/lighttpd-setup-Debian32.zip
extract the files/folders from the zip archive
upload them to the server via sftp (FileZilla is useful here)
add "www-data" (the WebDNA/Lighttpd user) to the "root" group:
# usermod -G root www-data
set permissions of the /var/www/ folder to "775" recursively:
# chmod -R 0775 /var/www
restart lighttpd to make it load the new configuration file:
# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
test webdna to make sure it's working:
go to http://[ipaddress] to see the default index.dna page
-------------------------
This worked for me, but I have no idea how many other people have actually tried it during the past 7 months that these instructions and files have been available, so I think the best thing to do is "try it yourself" and if you find something I missed just add to (or modify) these instructions, then post your modifications here so others might benefit from them.
