Using a vpn on a VPS kills the use for using the vpn for privacy, and, to a degree, anonymity. You do not share the IP with anyone so you are still trackable while using your vpn.

Depends on whom do you want to hide from. If you just don't want to have your porn history being sold by your local ISP or whatever, it's perfectly fine. If you want to be completely anonymous, VPN is the wrong tool for that, doesn't matter who has your logs, your ISP or your VPN company.
