Yes. You can create LUKS-container on CentOS VPS.
I am the root user of the VPS but the hosting company also has access to the VPS and thus all files. Is it possible to create a LUKS-container on the VPS and those files only be accessible by me? IOW, most of the file system on the VPS would be regular file system but the container could be used by me as needed. This would allow the VPS to reboot normally, I could ssh in normally etc etc. I would rsync files as needed to this LUKS-container though.
The threat does not change while using an open "LUKS-container". So, this does not address your threat model. Something that is only "open" on the client side will be more appropriate ... what is your usage scenario?
