Sadly, there was a couple of clients who have had become compromised on their nodes, and we've had to track them down. Once we found the first person, we thought that was the end of it. Powered back up the server and found there was more than one.

VPS is a shared resource, and if someone is compromised (various reasons) or is doing something nefarious, sadly it can effect a whole server and clients. It would not matter who or where you host in that regard should something like this happen. The result would be the same. You have to track them down, and eliminate them.

While it's unfortunate when it happens, a shared resource client can be effected by their neighbors.
