Hello,
I'm new to server world as I was using shared hosting and used a VPS for short time.
I'm planning to move on a cloud server and looking into vesta feature.

Could you please help me with below points:
1. I have lots of Joomla 3 websites (80-90) as well as with 6 customers site, is vesta good to manage lots of sites? and Is it compatible with cloud server?
2. As Joomla recommend Apache server for .htaccess support and other security and Joomla extension compatibility, Is it secure to use Nginx with Apache as vesta cp does? Is Nginx with apache or what it says compatible with Joomla?
3. It's very bad that vesta cp don't have any demo for test or check features live, Is it support subdomain? I mean can I create subdomain and host websites as other control panel does?

I really appreciate your help.

It is possible to have many sites on one server. But It isn't wise to put on a 1cpu 512mb ram server/VPS 100 websites with each 100,000 visitors. Joomla works well with Nginx - Apache I've run a few Joomla websites and have no problems with it. VestaCP has almost everything you need. There is no demo server because you can use it for free. Create a virtual server locally with VirtualBox or something and try it out.

Thanks for your reply.

So, what do you recommend about server? like-
1GB Ram 30BG SSD 1 CPU for 100 websites
or
2 server with 512MB RAM 20GB SSD 1CPU for 100 websites (50x50)

More RAM it's always better than less.
Get 1Gb RAM and be like a charming ;)

Thanks for you kind reply and suggestion.

I already installed vestacp with 1GB ram, what I can say it Vestacp is just Awesome!
I used a VPS server and shared hosting previously and with cPanel and Plesk and I had to configure a lot and it was not smooth even with 2GB ram.
I did nothing with Vestacp, just installed and moved sites and as I see my all sites working fast and smoothly than ever, so it's auto configured for better performance.
