/etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart gives you what you would expect; it shuts down down the DB and the listener and then starts them.  The VPS has a dedicated 512MB and a burstable 2GB of memory.  Oracle is set to start with the machine.  It works perfectly in every environment i tried save the Go Daddy environment.

It's sounding like corruption or that oracle refuses to even start.
How much memory do you have on the VPS?
Do you have oracle set to start when the machine starts?
Have you tried /etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart    to see what happens?

quite a bit, but forgot all about it.

Still no go on Oracle.

  
    
Check the Oracle alert log to see what's going on:
tail /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump/alert_XE.log
