Firstly, I would like to agree with most of the replies here, stating that a VPS can run SAMP servers well. Although there are many factors that could cause a VPS to have problems, such as lag. CPU, Memory, as well as the available bandwidth and network speed are the biggest factors.
Secondly, some are arguing that a VPS isn’t the correct solution, and a Dedicated server is the way to go. I would agree, that a dedicated server will always be better than a VPS, although for the average community that is on a budget, a VPS will be the more cost efficient choice.
To better answer your question on whether that specific VPS you are looking at will work, please include the following additional information.
CPU (number of CPU's, amount of cores, speed)
Bandwidth (speed of network, and bandwidth allowed)
Operating System (Windows uses a lot more than linux OS's.)

Actually not only HP has server built-in,i had non-HP pc and i could run servers,somehow (no idea how,i was 9 years old and i just loved to open servers through server manager
or something like that,it was a program,nothing hard,all i had to do is open the program and it starts the server auto')

To move on to this information... I am not trying to argue with you, I am just wanting other readers to get the correct information about the above quote.
Many motherboards include virtualization software within the bios, that helps the hardware in that specific machine to perform better and more efficiently. Yes, most if not all HP machines include this in their BIOS, although it does not mean you "have a server built in". Multiple virtualization software and operating systems have been designed to take advantage of that feature. Basically, a server is the same hardware as a normal PC, usually more powerful, but generally speaking the same. A "server" is the operating system that is being used by that hardware. To make your normal PC a server, you would need to either purchase Windows Server, or download and install a Linux distribution. I could turn the Windows 7 PC that I am currently on into a server, by changing the OS. The only guess I have is that the old HP computer that you had, was running a server OS, that could create VPS's. Most likely it was linux, because at that time, I'm not even sure Windows had something like that, and if they did, I'm sure it was quite expensive.
P.S.- I work with windows servers 5 days a week, and sometimes 6 when they decide to be a pain, and through my experience, they run quite well. The biggest factor on a Windows VPS would be the CPU and RAM. Windows tends to be more resource intensive.
Thanks for listening,
