This must be the route for true nerds. Presumably, since you pay for the vm though, it will be possible to find out who you are?

If someone contacted the provider and investigated you I'm sure you'd get turned over; but it would still shield all your requests from your ISP and you could be certain you're not logging anything (though your provider might).
It depends on what you are using a VPN for, really.
