I am a big fan of having web sites hosted by hosting companies. We've had a
small company hosting ours sort of as a favor because of our other business
relationships. Now, they're going out of the hosting business, and I've
found that professional hosting is $4 to $10 per month. The hosting company
has redundant power, security, backup - probably significantly better
infrastructure than will be found in any small business. Even if security
were not an issue, I can't see any way to host my own for less than $120 per
year.
That said, if they want to host their own in a dmz with a different IP from
their wan-side SBS IP, that shouldn't be a problem if they're comfortable
that they can handle the security. In that case, it's no different than
having it hosted elsewhere - its still not a part of their private network.
SBS will have to be the "pdc." (Generally it would be the only domain
controller).
