Your choice. A lot depends on how the data is accessed and used,
whether you need internal access to the same data, and what risk
you're willing to take for convenience and yimeliness. You could host
it in both places, simply replicating internal data to external if you
wish. You can use an internal server but a separate instance of SQL.
You can ensure non-standard ports are used, that firewall settings
allow data from SQL only to the web server and not the WAN, and stored
procedures fo everything. Lock the servers as appropriate for your
choices.
