Of course, but those are the constraints I have to deal with.
Naturally a dedicated bare-metal server would be preferable, but that is not
always possible. Given the tremendous popularity of VPS hosting, it does seem
like I am not alone.
Just because there is risk on the back-end of the system does not mean we
should be careless in other respects.
