Think about it, the only reason for this it that Chaeplin step by step guide if for Amazon and includes screenshots. If you have the ability, create guides for a few other options, people will happily use them.
For the same reason, everybody wants to start collecting from the beginning and Amazon is a quick way to do that, I will have a few running there from the start and will take the time to move to other places next week.
Finally, Evan and Kyle must be really busy with the fork and development, after a few days I am sure they will take some time to come up with best practices and recommendations for running masternodes, and people will follow. So it is a crawl, walk run situation, we will be fine.

Chaeplin's guide pretty much applies to every hosting provider, it's Ubuntu FFS.
Then all you have to do is create a guide for the first steps of setting up and securing the VPS, and make a note if there are any steps at all that are different. I remember on his guide he says the iptables settings are just for Amazon EC2?
You need to understand that we either provide specific steps to move or people just wont do it because they will have doubts. Why would they move something that is making them money? If they don’t have certainty? The guide is not for you evidently but many will appreciate it.
There can't be a guide for every single VPS provider - you should at least be able to get to the stage where you're able to ssh into your server by yourself.
Fine, I would just like clarification on the iptables thing, where Chaeplin says it only applies to an Amazon EC2? What to do instead? I think only one second example would be enough to compare. That's it.
Just look up an iptables howto... it's the same in every distro.
