 * I am sorry if this has been asked but I am on a VPS and I can not select any 
   of the VPS methods. Any reason why?

 * Not sure what you mean by “VPS methods”, but if you’re talking about selecting
   items like APC for objecting caching, then you first need to install APC on you
   server before being able to use it within W3TC.
 * Take a look at this post to gain some background on APC. [http://www.virtualmin.com/node/15258#comment-69432](http://www.virtualmin.com/node/15258#comment-69432)

 * Did setting up APC help with the caching performance on your [VPS](http://www.rokabear.com/vps.html)?
   We are starting to look at wordpress for our blog, but want to make sure it can
   handle all the hits.

 * You’ll need to check out the install tab of the plugin or any resources online
   to install the software necessary for additional server optimizations.
