Further to Hidden's comments which I'm completely in agreement with.

I Googled it.  And looks as though you are only allowed to load Apple OS on Apple hardware.  So I doubt any sponsor will allow you to load Apple OS on a VPS.  I guess a good clue would be that we have never in my experience with Forums received an inquiry like this before. Probably strange in a way. But looks as though the first permission that needs to be obtained is a license with Apple that permits the user to use the Apple OS on the VPS. Once that license is in hand, you can then ask the VPS sponsor whether you may load Apple OS and submit the license to them as justification for use.

I found this good post in Quora - it isn't about VPS but the moral of the argument about Apple only allowing OS to be used on Apple products probably would apply to a VPS as well:

[...]

Apple generally only grants a license to install the software on their own hardware per the retail end-user license agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of the EULA, you would need to negotiate a license with Apple under different terms.

If you install the software without a license from the copyright holder, you would be infringing on their copyright. Copyright infringement, legally, is not a crime, but rather a tort. A tort is an infringement of a right that leads to a legal liability. It's generally up to the copyright holder to file an infringement claim against the infringer. In the United States, there's a statutory $150,000 in damages for willful infringement over the actual damages assessed by the court (in this scenario, probably the retail price of OS X, about $50).
