Yes, you can host a SAMP server and other game servers with a VPS given that you have enough specifications for it. AFAIK you can also host webhosts and TS3 servers with a VPS.

You basically rent a virtual machine, you have a VPS and VDS (VPS = Virtual Private Server, VDS = Virtual Dedicated Server), for SA:MP a VPS should be sufficient, you basically get a 'piece' of a server, and yes you can host a server with it, I recommend using a 512MB 1-core Linux server since they're cheap and they're fast enough, you can even host a site on it, if you need some help feel free to PM me.

yes u can. it is something like a 24/7 online network in simply works "A Computer [linux Based.] online for 24/7]

it is cheaper than paid host.

A VDS does not exist. A dedicated server is per definition not virtual.

If you run your own DNS server.

It can be I think, correct me if I'm wrong but the difference between a VPS and VDS is that a VDS has it's own preserved RAM, HDD space, CPU utilisation

"Abbreviated as VDS, a virtual dedicated server is a type of virtualization that enables a virtual server, which is a shared resource and not a dedicated server, to to work and act as if it were a dedicated server. Each VDS has its own disk space, bandwidth, CPU allocation, memory and operating system. Also called a virtual private server (VPR)."

There's no difference, they're just different names for the same thing. It even says at the end of your VDS quote, "also called a virtual private server".

VPS software can provide 'dedicated' resources (RAM, disk space, CPU cores or alloaction, bandwidth) to a server but your 'server' is still virtualised. If it doesn't have it's own physical box it's a virtual server, whether you want to call it a VPS or VDS.

I don't know if you're lying or got scammed, but here are the problems with what you've said:
- It's not possible for a host to get a dedicated server with those specs for that price, which means they couldn't possibly resell it to you and make a profit.
- Most VPS hosts don't offer anything close to 16 dedicated CPU cores because at that point, why not just get a real dedicated server
- I also checked the awful website of the host you claim to have used, and the only thing I could see advertised were VPSes (not VDSes). Their highest plan is $30/month for 6 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM - lower specs than you claimed to have gotten for $20/mo. The host also does not mention DDoS protection anywhere.
