Sadly, even a co-lo wouldn't help you. The people who have physical
access to your server can still get at your password if it's on the machine.
The only way to keep it safe is to lock it in a vault to which only you
have the combination.
At some point you have to put your trust in someone. For instance, the
sysadmins at your bank have complete access to all of your account
information. So do you stop using banks?
