I don't see how it's any different than using any hosting provider. It's probably worth encrypting your databases, but if you don't trust your hosting provider

I don't see how it's any different than using any hosting provider. It's probably worth encrypting your databases, but if you don't trust your hosting provider you're hosed -- managed service or not. If your paranoia is justified (which it may be, depending on your needs), you need to host the machines in your own datacenter
