A very sharp razor and nerves of steel.
Proxmox.
Web based GUI. Real easy to install and manage. Uptime on my OVH server is about 8 months.
I'm still using 3.x so I don't know how 4.x is with LXC but if you want to have dedicated resources, just make KVM VPS.
3 IPs would work: 1 for the Proxmox OS and 2 for your KVM services.
Which OS should i install on main server? CentOS, Debian, or Windows?
There is a Proxmox ISO which is based on Debian.
Centos 6/7 64bit + VM manager KVM from ispsystem (using free license you can make 2 vps).
+1 proxmox , well documented.

xrdc + virt-manager
That is the easiest, lightest weight way of doing it without exposing a web ui and getting 100 features you do not want or need.
If that confuses you, use esxi.
Link me a tutorial please @AnthonySmith
If that isn't enough information for you to do the cut-and-paste yourself, you want vmware.
Proxmox is easier than ESXi. OP won't be bombarded with features.
Click "Create VM" (KVM) or "Create CT" (VZ, reminder- I'm on 3.x still before somebody goes reeeeeeeeeeee because 4.x is LXC), go through the steps which are different for each option and click boot. That easy. Installer is dead simple to use.
I was thinking a chainsaw and a couple seconds of time myself. I hail from a place that burns wood this time year though.
North of the equator. Got it.
Which version is better for simple usage? I just want to install, create VM and ssh.

+1 Proxmox. we using it for our main system split main dedicated into VMs so far works great for past few months.
We have been using Proxmox. It is a Debian-based Linux distribution. Easy to manage.
My server is running Debian 8. Can i install Proxmox from command line via SSH? How?
Yes, https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie

Super easy. Make sure you have a valid hostname set (and none set for IPv6), add apt repo + key, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, then you install the packages they list. Reboot so you're in the proxmox kernel. Load web interface. Change network config to a bridge. Reboot again and you're in business.
Valid hostname set? Example: srv.domain.com ; then i point that subdomain to server main IP. Is that right?
Yeah, see the example on the proxmox wiki.
