I am using my VPS servers for hosting websites and blogs. Both of them are make money online blogs and online business websites which selling products and services.
I also use hosting servers for testing control panels or web configurations before purchasing a new server for migrating websites.

I have used my personal servers to host personal website, but also for an application development. First it was a stand-alone graphics processing app that created Photomosaics; then I turned it into and hosted it as a Facebook app. It failed to get any traction so it went back to standalone. =)

It looks like you are a programmer and created apps on Facebook or other applications?
I am just curious why it failed.

Yes, my background is Software Engineering. However, these days I am a dedicated server provider and also a film producer. I still dabble in doing stuff with servers though. I guess most recently, I used a few as a small 3D rendering farm for Blender for a fun short film project.
There are many reasons for the app to have failed in my opinion and probably laziness is the biggest one. But also the photomosaic concept somewhat requires a large medium for it to work.
With more and more people doing their browsing on phones and tablets, it is really hard to appreciate a photomosaic in its full glory. Really, ideally you print one on a wall. A 36 x 24" poster is alright. A picture within a 5-10" screen, not so much.
I didn't really try to market it much, but based on how few of my friends actually even tried it, I figured there was too much friction in the signup process in order for it to work, and I was too lazy to make it easier. It wasn't a money making proposition in any case, more like something I wanted to see if I could accomplish.
If you're familiar with photomosaics, you can imagine they take a lot of computing power to be created. So having it be successful would have created a logistical problem for me, so I was very OK with it not going anywhere. =)

I bought hosting packages for my websites and my clients' sites, they don't know how to manage a web hosting server or how to configure or install websites and I will help them do these things. I prefer using managed VPS for my clients, it is faster and I don't need to configure or installing software, I can use them immediately after they sent me hosting accounts.
I bought pretty much from different hosting companies, I also bought some for testing configurations or to find out which one is best for my websites that can move to, in the future.
There are many reasons to buy a web hosting, but the most important thing is, it will serve for running your websites, especially when your sites grow with huge traffic, when you will know why you need good web hosting companies like that.

Servers are all used to host websites for customers. Nothing special really.

HostXNow reminded me, I also use vps for cPanel DNS Only for a DNS cluster, in addition to web hosting for the other servers.

What is cPanel DNS? I never heard of it before.
