I’m pretty sure the word your looking for is _managed_ VPS hosting. It’s available by many providers, but the cost increases significantly, depending mostly on the level of management included. On the security bit, if a client doesn’t mention a want for ssh keys, I automatically setup fail2ban without a second thought. There really does need to be a minimum level of security regardless of what is being served. Having simple passwords is something I wouldn’t even want to touch. If the client wouldn’t approve of switching to a complex password or ssh keys, I’d have to decline doing any work on the machine.
