Initial protection that you may be done is changing your password into a complex password with a combination of number symbol and upper lower case letters and disabled the root login and make a user account with sudo commands.

Ofcourse providers will allow that for sure and one thing game server wont get attacked by DDoS if it's still new.

and also you can use public key authentication instead of the password . it will get less bruteforce because public key is much harder to bruteforce than password here is the link
