Are you going to do everything by hand? PHP/MySQL updates? Are you going to have a control panel? Who is going to manage your DNS? You, your webhost?
How are you going to secure your server?
Are you okay with working on the command line?
Can you deal with an unmanaged vps?


VPS's, especially unmanaged ones, without control panels (only way its going to be _cheap_) are not safe or secure.

Of course you need experience to set everything up and secure the environment.

I disagree with your statement that an unmanaged VPS is not safe or secure, this totally depends on who is going to manage it, even with a low budget. Now you make it seem that no matter what, it's unsafe and/or insecure.

That's not easy to say, this depends on your configuration and resources.
