Data security: server at home or in a data center.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I was already completely at a loss between the desire to have iron security and at the same time a reliable web server.

    I have two alternatives for today:
    1. Put the web server in the rack of the Moscow data center.
    Pros:
    - 24-hour thick Internet;
    - 24-hour food;
    - 24-hour air conditioning;
    - 24-hour video surveillance;
    - 24-hour admin next to it;
    - Criminal punishment for stealing a server.

    Cons:
    - attackers can twist the screw, download the info and stick it back (you never know, they are familiar with the administrator of the data center, or they gave the administrator the paw).

    Ways to prevent cons: encryption of logical partitions at the OS level.

    2. Put the web server to your home.
    Pros:
    - the inability to remove the hard or drag the server without a solid strain.

    Cons:
    - the lack of all 24-hour and reliable, which is indicated in the advantages of the data center.

    Please help, share your experience, my dears!

    Thanks. Your Jura.
