Is there any point to encrypt/use a vpn for a Cloud Server?

Is there a point to buying some random VPN service, installing it on your Ubuntu server, and then using it to serve websites/apps to your customers? What is the point of this? Because I thought originally, the point of using a cloud service, primarily, is to host your app NOT on your PC, since there are many many downsides and risks to it, e.g: possible attacker obtaining your data and such.

But if you're using a cloud server, and if the attacker did get access to it, as long as you didn't save anything personal on there you personally would be fine, your customers may not. But even with a VPN, attackers could still get into it. So is there really any point to use a VPN for a Cloud Server?
