Though it's been rare, it's a bit frustrating when it happens.
The first signs are access to SSH and FTP denied upon connecting, no delays.
Attempts to VNC results in a partial black and white screen seen below. Some text does show through, I assume I can log in with root, but what I can google up seem to not reset the screen. The only fix I've found is restarting the whole VPS.
If it's a piece of software I've installed, I'm in the fog of which one it could be, as it's rare enough to debug which software it is.
Debian 7 Wheezy. VPS is about 2 weeks old. Only running a few MineCraft servers on Bungee between each other. I did tinker with Mono a little in attempt to run a small Terraria server for some close friends, which failed in the end due to ram slowly increasing until the server force kills it after about 30-45 minutes.
I am able to access the server with other programs, such as connecting to the MC servers with the MC clients, and BukkitGUI to see the console and run commands to the MC servers.
I would like to make a note to the Admins about the photo upload. The VNC screen is about 730px wide x 427px high. The image limit is 600x3200px. The image below is cropped due to this.

Re: VNC, SSH, and FTP connections Denied randomly
I seem to be going blind, cannot seem to find the Edit button for my post above to add in the following.
After about 5-10 minutes of making the post, the screen cleared up and I can connect with VNC, SSH, and FTP, and it doesn't look like a server restart, as the players on the MC server, and I, have not disconnected.

Looks to be a timed no-longer-can-edit function. Slightly annoying, but I can work with it.
From what I could tell, the issue returned. Before I lost access and had to force restart, it was due to all ram was being used up. Not sure what ate it up. One MC server using 1.5Gb ram, another with 1024MB ram, and the other with 256MB ram. Max ram set is 4GB, htop shows 3700MB as my max.

That would be consistent with running out of RAM and freezing, as it will create a panic and the system will be unusable in most ways after that.
I recommend running a monitoring process to watch the RAM count over time for each process. Also, note that Java uses more for Minecraft than you define on the command line, since it has various other heaps (permgen, etc) that it uses separately.
