as long as you follow the herd (for example, disable password ssh login, only allow ssh key login, use something mind numbingly boring like debian stable, set up unattended updates, update and reboot every night, etc, don't use any exotic packages etc) I suspect you are simply not a worthwhile target even with LLM agents as opposed to humans

Until your VPS provider has its management dashboard breached, allowing an attacker remote console and configuration access to your VMs and everything that enables.

I dunno why you're getting downvoted, they don't even need their control plane breached, it could be a neighbouring VM running something out of date and an attacker getting out to the hypervisor and taking your disk images without you or the hosting company ever knowing.

Then buy hardware and go colo. a dell server off eBay would far exceed what most smbs need.

One of those things you could do for yourself as a competitive advantage, but you can't get anyone else to do for you cheaply because they won't write-off their time and effort like you can, and they won't accept the responsibility of second-hand kit taking your business down like you can.
