Yes, you will just need to download and install SFS on the VPS, so download the Linux version (32 or 64 bit depending on your OS).
Once you are done the main setup is just to configure the Server to run on the VPS IP address. AdminTool > Server Settings.

I highly recommend to check the documentation if you have any doubts:

also can i use my vps'es ip as a domain?

Yes.

When you say I will need to download the Linux version how will I edit my files because I am on a windows computer but my VPS is a Ubuntu

Hi,

You can use a SSH client like Putty in order to connect to your VPS and manage it.
Alternative, if your VPS supports it, you can use a FTP File Manager in order to edit the files.

If you are not familiar with how Linux works it would probably be better to start with a Windows VPS, it will save you some headaches :)

In any case an SSH access is typically available out of the box on most Linux VPS. You can use your favorite FTP client and connect to the VPS using port 22 (SSH/SFTP), to navigate the file system and edit the configuration files.

A more convenient solution is to use one of our Cloud Partners which provide an super easy way to start up a virtual server with SFS2X ready to run.
