As far as I'm aware, it does not. But this is typically something you'd do at the VPS level; examples of doing it on various platforms:

* [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/security/encryption-at-rest/)
* [Linode](https://linode.com/docs/security/encryption/use-luks-for-full-disk-encryption/)
* [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/full-disk-encryption)

You could also do it at the database level as described here: [MySQL Data at Rest Encryption](https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/04/08/mysql-data-at-rest-encryption/)
