Encryption, paranoia and virtual machines

[Neil Watson]

Greetings,

A somewhat theoretical situation. You are considering renting a physical
host and rack space.  The plan being to generate a few virtual machines
for internet services. Getting a reliable host in a reliable data centre
is attractive.  However, you have never been comfortable with others
having such close physical access to your data.

Whole disk encryption may be a solution.  Does one encrypt the physical
host only or the virtual hosts or both? What are the options for
protecting your data?

Sincerely,
