Are there any tutorials on how to start a vps as a beginner from scratch? I mean in one place rather than looking for a tutorial in linux then another on apache or nginx and so on...
But I'd highly suggest learning how to administer a Linux installation from the command line locally before you create a VPS and open yourself up to be hacked as you try to learn how to do everything.

I see this as valid reason. Although, did not see difference on ubuntu and windows. What browser + OS you use? While this is a reasonable explanation, I see many cases where system fonts set wrong and as a result an unstyled page look terrible.
> What browser + OS you use? I saw the problem with Firefox 10 on CentOS. My default font was specifically configured to Bitstream Vera Serif. Setting the default font in the Preferences seems to only change it for the encoding in the active tab (unless you go into the Advanced dialog). For several Asian languages it wanted to use "serif", which appears to be the 20-year-old X11 default version.

Fix your browser/OS default font settings. This page have 0 styling and page with 0 styling should look perfect on your screen if you have everything configured correctly.
That page declares lang="zh" in the html tag. So it's probably not using the default font for Western or Unicode, but whatever the browser maps to Simplified Chinese. In my case that was much uglier, and I had to fix it to read the page.
There's two of us at 37signals building projects on top of the HttpLua / ngx_lua module. The OpenResty ( http://www.openresty.org ) project is absolutely worth a look if you are willing to live on the edge and you wan't incredibly fast performance. I can't say enough good things about the work agentzh and chaoslawful have been up to lately -- just check out their Github profiles.
