Might I recommend using something like <A HREF="http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/" title="sf.net">User Mode Linux</a sf.net> when hosting offsite? You only allow ssh access to the host computer, and perform all services (http, ftp, etc) from the hosted "computer." This gives you a host computer with (hopefully) little vulnerability that you can store system images, etc. on to use if/when the hosted computer becomes untrusted. You just shut down the hosted "computer", mount it's filesystem locally on the host computer, and run forensics from the known good binaries. You do pay a slight performance penalty for running the UML hosted linux, but the advantages are well worth it.
