The separation is pedantic, but you can have dynamic websites without JS or with free ones. The argument is basically the server-side software only see the data you input, but client-side malware can extract information or do other nasty things you can't observe or prevent.
I get what you mean, but OP's gonna have a hard time finding any website, much less a VPS provider, that doesn't have Javascript in it and for good reason. There's things like remote consoles and status dashboards that simply don't work without Javascript.
If its really a concern, you can run the Javascript in a separate browser instance, but I find that precaution to be completely unnecessary because if you don't trust your VPS provider, why would you trust that they won't do anything to your server or use your payment info for nefarious purposes? The Javascript is the least of OP's concerns IMHO.
