I kindly disagree - the fact its consumer grade hardware doesnt change anything here. The fact its a hosting company and not own datacenter does influence the security, but not as much as you'd think, just count all these huge companies, gov institutions brought to their knees... It was, is and always will be a matter of effort vs value and risk, determined and skilled attacked will get what he needs one way or another and hosting choice in this case is more like OS choice, that matters a bit, but not a lot. It is not a boolean, where it does or doesnt make you secure. Security is just a state of mind.
