You go ahead and continue to trust your VPS without taking any care to
consider where your software comes from.
It's choices like that which make "hardening" even be a thing. Have you
considered _not_ building a system on a foundation made of cheese?
Of course, but those are the constraints I have to deal with.
Naturally a dedicated bare-metal server would be preferable, but that is not
always possible. Given the tremendous popularity of VPS hosting, it does seem
like I am not alone.
Just because there is risk on the back-end of the system does not mean we
should be careless in other respects.
