One thing you could do is encrypt and decrypt the data in the MySql database using the web application rather then native database stored procedures. The web application should be compiled, hence a bit harder to crack the encryption code. What I don't understand from your question is how the host provider, or anyone else, would be able to get access to your encryption routine in ASP.net, since this should consist out of 2 parts. The first is the actual aspx files and the second the compiled class files.

I don't know exactly where your paranoia is coming from, but people that have physical access to the MySql server will ALWAYS be able to crack the data. All they need is time. You'd be better of trying to protect the system the MySql database is on from the web, like making it accessible only from within your own subnet or the IP that your webserver has. And splitting the encryption from the database, like in your web application. Then even if the database falls in 'enemy' hands they won't have the decryption routine.

Thirdly if you don't trust your hosting provider you should be looking for another one, or alternatively start your own hosting company by renting rack spaces.
