Personally I would have gone with a dedicated server from somewhere like OVH, about the same price as those VPS's with similar resources (but they are dedicated to you...)

As for SSH, just move it on to a port other than 22, that will fix 99% of the bots trying to guess your password.

been using ovh for years and really enjoy their self-manage tools (though I actually work for a different provider).

fail2ban || denyhosts are also good ways of stopping ssh brute force :)
