I’m big fan of affordable dedicated hosting provider Kimsufi.
For very reasonable price you can have your very own dedicated server.
Unfortunately, Kimsufi installer does not offer LUKS-encrypted installation of systems, so we should do it by our self.

As outcome of this guide we will have installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system with following features:

2. No LVM used - honestly, I think adding another layer of abstraction in single disk server does not have any sense, so we will encrypt raw volume.
3. Remote unlock ability via Dropbear SSH server.
