Yes there’s nothing wrong with it. SSH autt is robust.
This is normal background noise and nothing to worry about at all. Just be sure you’re using keypair login and user/password login is disabled.
It’s much cheaper than equivalent hardware at home- redundant hardware, hot spares, redundant power, UPSes and generators, etc. And good network access with really good peering arrangements- something residential ISPs can’t offer.
That said, do most people need all that? No.
It’s just like AWS. AWS makes sense for a narrow swath of businesses - businesses that can’t afford the capex to run their own data centers and have needs more advanced than less expensive services.

But for small businesses with advanced needs it’s the only way to afford things.
No speed diff HDDs are sloooooow.
