> How long has Rick been running his own server? About 8 years, now... Win 2000 Server / CF 4.5
I'm sure the setup could be improved, however, I've been able to successfully host my sites, administer the databases, administer CF, run Win 2000 Server, run the network, make an occasional helpful comment on CF-Talk, and keep my clients happy with their sites and hosting. With that in mind, I feel like I should be able to administer Win 2003 Server and CF 8. What do you think?

There several things to be consider here. How the > network is setup, etc. But to say there's no impact is clearly wrong. Regardless of how the network is set up, the strategy for protecting your VPS is very easy and the same: my VPS vs. the rest of the evil world. It doesn't matter if you are directly on the internet, behind a firewall or NAT with port forwarding or whatever, you are behind somebody else so you don't trust them. >>> Then ask yourself, if your VPS does go down.

That's the point. How long has Rick been running his own server?
