Linux isn't that hard. It just takes some time to learn. However, there are some great guides on how to set your SA-MP server up using SSH. Here's the official wikkis' one: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Linux_Ser..._up_the_Server

Good luck!

Sorry. The expression "look before you leap" was never more appropriate.

There's no such thing as a "Windows SA:MP script". You can either run the SA:MP server on a Linux system (like most people), or a Windows system. The .amx that compiling the PAWN file creates is compatible with both operating systems.

The only difference is that you need to get Linux plugins for your script, rather than the Windows plugins. Oh and, adding plugins in the server.cfg require you to put .so at the end of each one.

Read this tutorial, it's really very useful. It helped me when I wanted to set-up a server and it's very informative. You can also read the wiki.

Yes you can host a server on a linux vps, depending on what one you get if you are a massive community 90+ players, its better to get a dedicated host!.
