That kind of activity isn't unheard of but as you suspected of course it is possible. My advice would be to be hosted with a company that you see has a presence in the community and a reputation for good work. If you were ever in doubt you could probably have a linux guru periodically look at your server's configuration, etc.
Cheers,
Brad
