Having 2 completely separate VPSs, in different data centers, secured with different passwords, seems pretty much more secure than having a single server to me.

Yes, there could theoretically be a way to punch through from an insecure VPS into a secure VPS on the same host, but I think the chances are pretty slim there.

It's wonderful for redundancy as well. I recently migrated our DNS from two dedicated servers in the same data centre, to three $20/month VPSs all on different continents. I don't need power or bandwidth, what I need is super-redundancy. These new VPS deals just hand it to me on an ultra-cheap platter. Couldn't be happier.

The security is just an added bonus.
