Not at all.  I'm saying I would not my web page behind a firewall that
someone else can dictate to.  I would not trust that the other companies with
web pages are smart enough to: 1) know what holes to ask to have in the 
firewall; 2) protect their box well enough so that it does not become a
source of attacks; 3) that even not counting the firewall, their box would
not be a source of attacks. I also would not trust that the security provider
does not make mistakes.  I'm just more comfortable where my box is isolated
from everyone else's.  They are responsible for their security and I am
responsible for mine and never the twain shall meet.
