VPS = virtual private server. You rent a machine where you can install a relay, or whatever else you want to host on it. You can access it via clearnet (= regular internet, not tor). That’s what I did when I setup my haven relay. There’s other solutions too, less complicated but a bit more expensive where you can create a relay and just have it hosted directly on a VPS. No need to set it up yourself. Like relay tools for example.
The start9 relay has less functionality than those. Different types of solutions for different needs.
I think Semisol was also working on personal relays integrated to nostr land.
