there is no way you can protect your files from CT provider.
if you don't trust your provider- don't use it.

I would ask if encryption (safe) is possible with virtualization technologies (kvm,xen,vmware). given various scenarious how to gain control of virtual server while it is running and while your encypted image is mounted

probably most safe sollution for you would be use bare metal HW with encrypted partitions.

if you afraid of local providers, than maybe use international provider?
