We do hosting with PostgreSQL and provide remote logins if people
want it. Upon request we allow logins to specific databases, with
specific usernames, from specific IP adresses on the internet.
The only thing we require is that people connect to the databse
using SSL. We don't really see a problem with people willing to
put their own data at risk.
Surely you can build something similar into MS SQL Server.
