We get attacked an average of 5-12 times per day across the dozens of servers and hundreds of VPS accounts I admin.
In 5 years, we've had 1 compromise which was due to an inside job by someone at a provider who had access to their admin account passwords.
It's really not that hard to secure systems. You don't have to be completely paranoid because unless someone is specifically targeting you for attack most hacks are based on lazy ass script fags who look for the easy targets.
Ongoing monitoring with alerts via SMS allows you to catch the occasional zero day exploit and stop it before they completely wreck a system.
