comment Things we can do with VPS Packages
Managed or unmanaged? If unmanaged, be sure to do some research first. You won't be the first who think that firewalls are superfluous and soon rooted afterwards.

000webhost shuts your website down periodically to check for "potentially unwanted content" (for them), not recommended.

comment When creating a website, what permissions and directory structure?
Giving www-data rwx on directories allows www-data to read, write and descend into directories. If www-data is the owner, it'll be able to change the file permissions as well. If www-data does not need write access, you'd better revoke it to r-x (principle of least privilege). Processes run under an user which are a member of one ore more groups. If a file is not owned by the user of that process or if the process user is not a member of the group of the file, it'll get the permissions of "Other" (a.k.a. "world").

Not to forget that windows uses \ as path separator which is an escape character in PHP.

comment When creating a website, what permissions and directory structure?
@Dan Simmons: CMS'es (and PHP scripts) write to the directories as www-data, the files will be owned by www-data with group www-data (since the process runs under that group). Your SSH user will create files/directories owned by your_ssh_user_here. Without the setgid bit, these files will have the group your_ssh_user_here. With no read permissions for the other, PHP and nginx won't be able to access the files/directories. The setgid bit is inherited by the directories beneath (but can be removed).
