These days most established server hosting companies do a fairly good job at hosting your servers and providing support. Typically one would built in service level agreements around server uptime, network latency or bandwidth requirements, network security, security certifications (through one of certification agencies) etc etc. The key is to make sure that the choice of the vendor depends not just on cost but how familiar the vendor is with hosting the particular O/S platform (e.g. Windows, UNIX, Linux, Solaris etc etc) and the type of hardware platform chosen. 

 

Of course if your company has some super confidential requirements that these would need to be built into the contracts and involve some discussion on the penalties or service credits to be provide in case of a data breach, malfunction or other network violations e.g. could be an agreement to have server uptime for three 9's e.g. 99.999
