So I self host all the services we use and don’t expect anything to change. My question is for those who also have a VPS backup.

Are you concerned about the security of your VPS? What do you do to mitigate the risks?

We had some recent extended down time which was nothing terrible outside of some minor annoyances but it made me wonder if I’m better off with a 1 core 2GB VPS to host the most critical services, such as bitwarden.

But then the thought of storing my personal password db online doesn’t feel right at all. Sure I can be hacked but the probability of someone targeting an average Joe like me is pretty low. Compare that to the welknown VPS providers - I’m sure they are actively being targeted, if not hacked already.

Am I paranoid?
