Basically the title. Is it possible to host a blockchain based domain from peername.com/ using a vps? I do not want to host it on the ipfs. If it is possible how can i do it? Is it similar to hosting a normal domain?

Sure. All this blockchain based domains are just another DNS server. And DNS servers do nothing but match the domain name to a ip address. It's basically a hashmap. Every amateur can do it.
