Profits will be very low - it is not worth it. You can only get reasonable income when mining with high-end ATI video cards. So forget it.
I have a 2 GB RAM server with Linode. I do run a production website off of it. Is it possible to run mining software from this VPS in the background and also have it not conflict with the needs of the website?
