Question about server IP logging

I am soon to be operating a site in which it is critical to store as minimal identifying information about the visitors as possible.

My question is, does IP logging happen at a datacenter level as well as at a server level? My plan was to write a script to purge the access logs off the VPS. But this wont have much point if the datacenter is logging at a network level?

IT is an possibility. To be secure you can always write an script. I may can help you with it. But I wonder what kind of level security your datacenter has. Do you know that kind of information? If not, don't worry. Just create an script. It is always to make one instead of making no script

At the server level, you can disable logging everywhere or just set log location to /dev/null

There's not much you can do about upstream logging. It's not under your control. The datacenter or its transit providers can log any network traffic they wish. You need to contact each prospective datacenter and ask them about their logging/privacy practices. Some datacenters (such as SwedenDedicated) state outright that they do not log any network activity.
