You should change your title.
Most people here don't get a VPS to install lamp on it.

This could go inside website tutorials perhaps? It is useful if you are looking to spin up your own web server that is Linux-based. I would appreciate a side-by-side tutorial that goes on about setting up a web server on Linux and Windows, along with SSL certs on both. But since it is also on a Linux server, I can see how it could also fall into this area.

That is the tricky thing with topics like this, it is a mix. Great tutorial though!
