We cannot stress this point enough. Just like a thief only needs one open window to break into your business, a hacker only needs one open Internet port to get into your internal network to steal your customer information. No one can guarantee absolute security. Why expose your business and customer data to the world unless absolutely necessary?

Imagine someone from the Internet hacks into the server where your email and website is hosted. From that server, what other computers on your network can they possible access? What is the worst information they could steal or corrupt on those computers? How would that affect your business?

If you're hosting your website and email with AthensGuy.com then the worst a hacker can access is your website and email. For most organizations, that's a lot more acceptable than the alternative.
