Datacenter/Provider getting hold of SSL private keys

What would you do in the case of the datacenter/vps provider getting hold of your private SSL keys? (It hasn't happened to me but I was just wondering)

Hmmmm. Generate a new one?
How/why would they be able to?
@Damian maybe the provider has autoboot ?
First of all they would have to have root access to your server. Or would have to unmount your hard drive and access it that way,
Unless you are on openvz and they just browse your /vz/private
Then there is encryption... but that is for another thread.
And be caught on camera in the process.
Well on a dedicated box.
