I don't seem able to locate any TOS for VPS 2. Not sure if this is a broken link or what, but I thought it worth mentioning.

I don't seem able to locate any TOS for VPS 2. Not sure if this is a broken link or what, but I thought it worth mentioning.
I've had my vps now for 4 days, and I'm already sick of these probing attempts and cracking attempts.
Every day it seems like I get about 30 obvious probes. These probes consistently come from 2 distinct regions: Russia & China.
Before I go any further I want to apologize to any forum users from these areas. I am not blaming anyone for these wrongs. It's entirely possible that the machines querying me are infected and the owners aren't aware of what the operators are doing.
Also as an open source advocate the worst possible thing I can think of to do to someone is to deny them of information. By blocking China and Russia I'll be denying myself and a lot of other people a lot of potentially great interactions. The purpose of the internet is to bring people together not drive them apart.
However, the problem still exists. Furthermore, I haven't even begun to promote the site. It has 0 backlinks. No one should be able to find me. Whoever is doing this is systematically searching large blocks of ips for specific vulnerabilities. Thus far I appear to have warded off all attacks. What then is going to happen if I decide to do a lot of marketing and promoting? How many attacks a day can I expect then?
I'm wondering if anyone else has had these problems, or similar.
Also, if placed in this position what would you do?
I'm going to attempt to make a poll regarding this. Please feel free to state your reasons after voting. I am curious to know how other people deal with this or if they experience similar.

Nope.
Final Ratings
The VPS is quite good. I might rate it as the best P4V has!
Simply because I rated my DigitalOcean one at 9/10, but that one is better, I give this one a 8/10. BN
Final Rating 8/10
Special thanks to TrK, since I used his review as a "template" for mine.
Hi
I am using VPS 5 on node DC-2, server ID is 5146, which recently went unresponsive.
I am unable to reboot, power down or power up the VPS via the panel, it shows the VM as running, virtual console does not work either.

've made a good bit of headway on my open source site, and as my posts rise I'll soon be able to host my site on 1 vps with a good top level domain perhaps even some surplus of resources.
I'm learning oodles and accustoming myself with the rigors of maintaining an online server. While I'm posting here daily, I'm also checking my access logs, restarting services as needed, and altering configurations to maximize performance. It's my hope that within the next few weeks or maybe a month I'll be live and stable enough to give back to the community that gives so much to me.
Is there any particular service members would like to see? I don't have anything in the budget for big commercial software like whcms or cpanel. Any service I offer needs to be small and easy to maintain, at least in the beginning.
Some ideas I've had so far:
1 would be to offer free shell accounts with 1 open port per user. No web hosting but would come with local database access, cron, local file storage, and whatever scripting/developing tools I can figure out how to set up. There's not very many of these hosts left and they always come with tons of restrictions.
2 would be to offer free database hosting. There are tons of free web hosts out there, more than you can shake a stick at. While using these free hosts for the last few years, one thing I've become very aggravated about is poor database hosting: connection timeouts and low execution times being the major flaws. I'd be happy if I could give even 1 person an unrestricted database they could use for a good cause.
3 hosting a chat server for public use. Which reminds me I still need to figure out that anope issue with the ports *makes note*
4 I could give people hosting for an open source project of their choice, provided I can get it working. A wordpress blog, forums, or wikipedia or something similar.
5 Mirror repositories of some of my favorite open source projects. The sky is pretty much the limit here.
When choosing these services, my primary goals are
A: I want a service that's high quality. If I have to add each member manually and do all the configs myself I can live with that. What I don't want is an automated service that gets spammed with users so badly that I'm unable to offer a quality service. No matter what service(s) I offer, I intend to add users slowly to see how the server handles additional load. I do not intend to make any public offerings at this time, but will restrict access to responsible members of the communities that support me.
B: I want a service that is somewhat unique, or at least one that there aren't thousands of others like it. This kind of detracts from #3 and number #5
C: I want a service that will challenge me to grow and learn, but that isn't beyond my skillset to maintain. It won't help anyone out if I'm offering free databases and I get hacked and bring down the network. I never went to school for any of this stuff and all I know is what I've managed to teach myself over the years. Still, I think I can accomplish some good service with my 15 years experience using open source tools, and hopefully not screw it up too badly if the community is there to catch me when I make a mistake.
Now, if you've managed to make it through all of that, I'm welcome to know what services everyone else would like to see. Try to make it fall within the outlines of my goals, not too common, not too difficult, but something useful and unique.
As always questions, comments, suggestions are always appreciated.

[snip]
I fully admit that I've got plenty to learn and the experience with a vps is quite new to me.
One thing I am very uneducated in is network security. I have a basic understanding of access rules and permissions, but beyond that, what can one do to protect one's data?
I've had the vps for a few days now, and I've been mainly focusing on getting the config files just right. I found that after I got wordpress running my apache daemon's became very bloated, so I dropped php mem limit from 128 to 32mb, which helped a LOT. Also I realized that I don't need to leave the ftp server on, I can use it when installing files then stop it, which also saves me some resources. I think in time with a bit of tinkering I can get a setup just right to serve fast pages and services even on a small free vps.
However, I'm wondering what vulnerabilities I might have that I'm unaware of, and other people are too!
I looked at my apache logs today and saw several people poking around.
Several HTTP HEAD requests from Russia 185.xx.xx.xx (5 diff ips)
A couple GET requests from Amazonaws 54.xx.xx.xx (just 1 ip 4 queries including a get of my wordpress readme.html)
Scary GET request from Poland (GET http://testp4.pospr.waw.pl/testproxy.php HTTP/1.1")
The last one definitely looks to me like some sort of vulnerability probe.
I banned the poland IP, as well as the amazon IP (I don't like people testing nor viewing my readme without asking first) but for now I've left the Russian IPs alone. Deny rules at the top of IPtables
The requests *seem* innocent enough and were just producing 403 and 500 errors. But I don't know... maybe they were doing a network scan for desktop vulnerabilities and that's why the errors were produced? Maybe next time they'll search for server vulnerabilities?
Maybe they're all completely normal search engine requests?
I'm wondering if I took appropriate action in banning the ones I did, if I should ban the rest of them, or if there is further action that I should have taken, or any general thoughts/opinions/suggestions/comments someone with more experience might have.

I know everyone has opinion, and people will often disagree but also that people use different devices to connect, and oftentimes what looks great on one screen looks terrible on another.
While I wouldn't classify the post4vps index as terrible, I feel like it needs a little bit of work. I don't really like the way the description is tightly packed in on the left, and the thread count/post count take up such a large area. Better for me if the description took up a large area and the thread/post count were much smaller.
In closing I want to thank you for the services you provide and I hope this suggestion is useful. Enclosed is a screenshot. I've scaled it to 800x600, hopefully this is an appropriate size to not overburden the forums.
