Do you want to quickly outline methods for all types of attacks here? Well good luck tho. Most VPSs can be taken down tightly from one ordinary computer with a fat channel, not to mention attacks that require the use of the brain. The simplest advice is to give money for tuning to someone who understands something at all in this, judging by your question, you are very far from all this.

If you are talking about ddos attacks, then protection against them is a multi-million dollar market. And you essentially can’t protect your vps in any way.
If you are talking about hacking, then start with this - toster.ru/answer?answer_id=257260
