shared hosts - your not secure! [or are you?]

E.g. if i signed up with http://www.hostrocket.com, theres nothing from stopping hostrocket admins going into my directories looking at my php/perl source files and viewing the contents of my database.

Resellers say your secure, and have images of the upstream Network Operations Centre, with cages and UPS's, but what stops the hosting company from prying into your files.

It may be illegal, but besides the point.

And besides having ur own dedicated box / vps, which still have their own alternate security concerns, is there a way to create relatively highly secure perl/php web systems on shared hosts?

(True, nothing is secure until u bury it underground in a room without it being connected it to the internet, but i mean in the context of information and code protection and security).
