The admins have access to your data and unless things have changed, that isn't monitored. They also bend to NSLs like any other provider. What they charge vs what things cost hurts.
And to clarify, this means encrypt it before it gets to the VPS. Just having full-disk encryption is not enough because cloud providers can dump RAM. There are tools that easily extract encryption keys from RAM.
So, really, you need to trust the cloud provider unless everything is encrypted on computers you own.

True, but at the very least, you won't have to worry about discarded SSDs having your data in plaintext.
